Sooooooooo I see a lot of folks talking about God encountering us (“God is wanting to encounter you in a fresh way”).

This sure seems backwards and maybe I’m splitting theological hairs, but if you wanna know how we are discipling narcissist, let’s start here.

Pastors, wouldn’t it be dope to have 80 million in cash and assets so you don’t have to care if people left your church when you made dangerous, manipulative, and unethical leadership decisions? You could just go on and pretend to honor everyone?

It’d be so dope.

There seems to be such difficulty in threading the needle and keeping the tension between faith & hope alongside reality & dealing with suffering. On one hand we see declarative prayers and prophetic promises and on the other the need to care for people who are living things out.

Everything you need to know about my theological method can be found in this:

My favorite bands are Wu Tang Clan and Rage Against the Machine.

Well… ummm… though I’m charismatic, things like this make me *almost* second guess that. Why? Because this is silly and also rooted in a really bad theological approach to “prayer.”
