In all my years of pastoring, I have learned this lesson: a person’s spiritual maturity is not truly visible until they DON’T get their way. Then you see the person. —@ErikReed
@MattSmethurst @ErikReed Does that include your response to your favorite college football team not winning games? Asking for a friend.
@MattSmethurst @znielsen @ErikReed Very true. Of pastors.
@MattSmethurst @nadamsmith @ErikReed This. And on the pickup basketball court...
@MattSmethurst @ErikReed In all my years of being a human seeking the best in others, I have learned this lesson: a person’s fight or flight response is not truly triggered until they DON’T get their own way. Then you see the person they’ve learnt to be. Has a less shaming ring to it, don’t you think?
@MattSmethurst @ErikReed And pastors just leave and move to another church and state when they don’t get theirs.
