Excellent Wade. Good for use on personal criticism as well. A cooling off period is always good.

You're pretty good at these kinds of posts. I like it. I know you remember your gossip busting stuff, and it's semi-related. So to your "what else?" question, that element of people coming directly to you rather the cooling off period being used ruin someone elses (elders et al.) Sunday is something you might touch on. Some love coming to the source and nailing you, but many others will talk around and round before criticism comes to you sideways, and that ain't cool.

Wade - I don’t think I’ve ever heard a sermon from you that I didn’t like or feel challenged to see something in a new way. And from time to time I find your newer ones to listen too.

I will say about 1/2 a life ago there was a sermon…where the Matrix movie was used. And I do remember a cringe- but amazing sermon. Ps still love the movie 🍿. But we were young. Hope this makes you smile - Blessings Jen

Hi Jen! Yes, I remember that sermon and the email apology I wrote to the entire church afterward. Good times!

This is great, Wade ... I would like to have had this wisdom when younger, but I still need it. Will pass along to others. Thanks!
