A pastor will joke like - “I’m such a mess, I can’t believe y’all trust me!”or “Aw shucks, I’m just a nobody who knows Jesus!”
That is not even in the same universe as admitting when you’re wrong, learning from others, and opening yourself to accountability and criticism.
Another thing that Mars Hill/Driscoll exemplifies that I have found incredibly true in other churches:
Humorous moments of self-deprecation ≠ real humility.
But people will point to the former like it’s proof of the latter alllll the time.
In the next few days we will hear many wonderful things about our beloved George H. W. Bush. What a remarkable man in every way! But you won’t hear some of the best...like, did you know that dear man was a Compassion sponsor?
