the cussing pastor

confession: I have a draft in my draft folder of my blog called “The Cussing Pastor”….it’s been there for around 8 months.

It’s not about anyone in particular at all, but just a growing trend that has emerged among pastors, leaders and communicators.  I didn’t finish the draft and probably won’t.  I think Ed Young nails what I was thinking.

    What a great reminder of how powerful our words can be, and how careful we should be because of it. Thanks for sharing this, Alan!

    Alan –

    Thanks for the link to this video!! Awesome points by Ed…Spending more time in prep and prayer, and using teams to develop messages.

    And as an aside – that’s a great picture from those flip cameras. That really makes me want to go get one!

    I know, I was thinking the same thing about the video quality. Love the quality there.

    While I can agree somewhat with Ed Young, it is interesting to me that he seems to warn against “chasing cool” when, in my humble opinion, he’s been leading the way and encouraging young church leaders to chase cool for years. It’s one reason I’m not a big fan.

    Interesting followup I came across from a twitter friend:
