I get the opportunity to talk to them.

And I can see where they're coming from, even if uncertain things I don't align with where they landed.

Yeah.

Hopefully we model this in our ministry, but we're not going to name names.

Yeah.

That's nice of you.

I get emails all the time like, what do you think of this author?

Or why don't you speak against this?

Yeah.

And I'm just not going to do that.

I'm not going to tear down other people.

And I'm going to give a wide berth for what God is doing in them and through them, even if we don't completely align.

And I think that's true in our personal life, too.

It's really interesting.

I had this feeling about 15 years ago.

Because probably about 15 or 20 years ago, I became more in public ministry.

And I remember before that time talking about people who are in public ministry being critical of them.

Like, I can't believe this guy said this, or I don't agree with this, or what is she thinking here?

And then it dawned on me, I am one of those people that people could be talking about.

No, and they don't know my heart.
