Here are my two cents.

For the unchurched church can be a daunting experience, they're not familiar with the lingo (Christianese) and it's kind of like walking into a room full of strangers at a party. Everyone else knows each other but they may only know one or two people. And as you pointed out, most of them have never been asked and so we're not reaching out to them.

For the churched they often become disillusioned because of things they see happening (or not) around them. This can be inauthentic relationships, back handed deals, controlling people/families, pastors who preach one way but live another and other lay people too Or they've never had an authentic experience and so they do not feel a true connection to God.

I love Numbers 12:3, Moses on Moses: "Now Moses was very humble--more humble than any other person on earth." (NLT but all are similar).

Ah, old people and computers. Keeping the economy going by providing jobs to technical support agents. :P All kidding aside the phrase "when we stop learning we die". This is so true for this guy as a marketer, in the industry he's in he needs to be flexible and in the know and up on current trends or his agency will die.

Hi Mike,

For the past two years I have worked largely on my own with little to no supervision within a large organization. Recently I have changed jobs within the company to where I am part of a team environment once again. This has led to some changes in thinking and processes compared to what I am used to. I would love to read this book. Thanks.

13 years ago @ Michael Hyatt Blog - Leadership and Forgive... · 1 reply · +1 points

Wow, great post Andy! I have personally witnessed the restoration power of forgiveness in the life of my senior pastor. By him asking for forgiveness for something that happened while he was pastoring another church several years ago. And also in forgiving a former pastor who was spreading rumours/hearsay and making personal attacks on him behind the scenes with anyone who would listen.

The senior pastor made several attempts to clear the air with the other guy and set the record straight. He was very hurt by what transpired but rather than hold it against the other pastor he chose to forgive him. And he now uses that same man in a visitation ministry role and he/we just honoured him a few weeks ago. Two men restored through the act of forgiveness. It really is a greater story than I can write in a few lines.

I do this too. I rarely get any forwards from my friends any more. It is so nice.

You mean there are Christian emails that do not contain Thomas Kinkade paintings? I didn't think that was possible.
