See, that's the thing. People think that if you are a Christian that you have to only preach and be a pastor in church, but there's more people who have gifts of the Spirit.

Some people are supposed to be ministers.

What did that kind of look like? I was getting both sides of it. You know what I'm saying? I was getting the side of, oh, Dwight, you're doing such an amazing job. But then I'm also getting the side of people seeing me mess up. Every one of my failures or mistakes or anything that I did in life, it just so-called happened to be put on TV. Put on the internet for everybody to see.

So now it's not my mistakes anymore that it just for me to deal with. Everybody in the world has to see my mistakes.

If they mess up or do anything, people are now like, oh, man, he's supposed to be a man of God.

You know what I'm saying?
