I’m with Greg on that one. He was awesome and I’ll have a full write-up when I’m back home again. Where were you at Greg? I went with my brother and we were standing at the rail on the raised area.

Go. Go see Ritter. He’s even better live than I had expected.

I think Dan’s point is well taken, though. The churches that truly want a fallen, broken individual to be public and open about that are very few and far between. And even then that probably works up to a point. There is a line, explicit or not, that the “paid guy” must not cross.

Maybe I have been blessed in the churches where I have served, but my experience is the exact opposite of what Dan has experienced. The people I have pastored are looking for someone who is authentic in the struggles, doubts, and temptations of life. I am happy for you, Scott, that you have a church family where you feel at home. Outside of immediate family there is no better place on earth than a church that is genuinely trying to be what God wants it to be.

Thanks, Greg. Maybe I’ll see you there.

If yours is different, then more power to you, but on the whole, churches - and especially “elders” - don’t want a human in the pulpit; they want a god. They don’t want someone who evinces the same emotions and struggles that you did. If he does (’cause it for sure won’t be a woman, at least among the fundies), he better dang well keep it to himself. Interestingly, churches always preach a Jesus who was “tempted in all things as we are,” but they do not want a preacher who is. There’s too much preacher-worship in most modern churches; they want someone more Christ-like than Christ himself.

Praise to the one who uses earthly, broken vessels to do his work…

I bought mine online, but we have to pick them up at the venue. Is Revolution in the River Market area?

Matt, I’ll be there, too. Or at least I plan to.

I don’t have tickets yet, but called earlier and they still have some, so I am going over there later when they open to get them.

Scott, wouldn’t this be the perfect weekend to come home and visit family?
