I had 2 Christian leaders reach out to me privately with concerns about me personally, and the harsh language I used in my live stream a few weeks ago (these are 2 people I know well & respect).

We had a private conversation where they shared their concerns and corrections; I also pushed back pretty strongly at points.

Overall, I learned a lot… recognize a few areas I need to work on in my communication/approach… and still respect them (and I THINK they still respect me as well 😅)

Why am I sharing this?

Just to say that these guys did the right thing. I’ve had others get upset with me, but they refuse to talk to 1-on-1 so I can hear them out (and so I can share my perspective better).

These two people reached out to me directly, were persistent in setting up a meeting, and spent equal time talking and listening.

I think all of us (myself included) need to learn from their example.

One thought on “(Potentially) Awkward Conversations

  1. Well, if white evangelical men who are MAGA don’t understand what is happening to Christianity because of them, then I do not want their respect.
