The dunning - Krugger theory of knowledge explains why real pros are humble and amateurs are arrogant.
Seen this from martial arts, to relationships, to church planting, to theology.
The overconfident loud mouths are always sitting at the top of mount stupidity. Rest assure.
The reason why many pastors crash and burn is not bc of a lack of calling or resources. It’s the lack of table that ends up ruining their lives

Its here! But first a summary of the main argument of the last two articles in my series on justice.
1) If you think talk of oppressive social systems or white advantage automatically makes you a Marxist, then you may be a secular individualist who reduces everything to...1/4
I feel the Church may be going through an Ezra 3:12 moment👇🏽
“But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy”

Talking about oppression, justice, etc doesn't make one a Marxist. It makes one a student of the Bible.

I've never regretted (1) assuming the best about people, (2) overlooking as much as possible, (3) offering more encouragement than advice and criticism, (4) and remembering the log in my eye will always skew how I see my pain, disappointments, and other people.
Always balanced. Always amazing 👇🏽

"If the magistrate for a greater good, (as the common safety,) forbid church assemblies in a time of pestilence, assault of enemies, or fire, or the like necessity, it is a duty to obey him." - Richard Baxter
We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.

In the end, we all are summoned before the judgment seat of Christ—not of public opinion, not of the laws of any given state. Each of us stands alone, no herd to hide in, no institution to invoke to explain our actions. Each alone receives a ruling from Christ for our lived life.
