Wonderful, well-thought-out counsel, Randy. Thank you! Even though I am not a pastor, I am, as an elder, a shepherd to the sheep. It would be easier for me to walk away than for a pastor, but your advice is no less germane to me than to a pastor. You referenced Eugene Peterson right out of the chutes with this post. I would recommend a great biography of Peterson that I am reading right now: A BURNING IN MY BONES: THE AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF EUGENE PETERSON (2021). What a fascinating man he was!
So well done, by friend. (And I cited that Jackson Browne song in my latest BookNotes column on Labor Day books. Fun!
I saw that! What fun. And YOU got to see him sing it. That's special.
