126. Of Dreamers and Cynics

Hello. I’m Randy Greenwald. Welcome to Greatheart’s Table.

Imagine John Lennon as a pastor.

It’s easy, if you try.

Okay, maybe it’s not that easy.

But it’s easy to imagine the song he might have written had he been a pastor:

You may say that I’m a cynic,
but I’m not the only one.

It’s not my desire to turn pastors into cynics, but dealing with people can shape a heart in a cynical direction, and we need to name that so we can fight against it.

Thanks for listening.

Yes, I know, churches ‘call’ pastors. But in all practicality the line between ‘hire’ and ‘call’ is a distinction without a difference.
