Pastors, who do you know?

To all my pastor people,

Man I love pastors. I love hanging out with pastors, grilling in my backyard with my pastor friends. I like hanging out with people like me.

So do you.

That’s the problem. How many non-christian people do you know? How many do you hang around with? How many are your friends? I was a full-time pastor for years and during that time I slowly became insulated with christian friends and christian people around me. Now this isn’t a bad thing necessarily, it’s the way life goes.

Maybe that’s the problem.

Unless we are deliberately steering life, we just go the way it goes. Since I’ve been working at Starbucks I’ve become good friends with a lot of people that I never would have met otherwise. People who are not believers, some of my homies practice a gay lifestyle. Pastors do you know anyone who practices a gay lifestyle? How about people who don’t believe in God? People who don’t believe like you do? If you’re like I was, the answer is probably no.

Maybe it’s time for a change.

Thanks for reading, talk to you soon.
