specifically, what happens when you call a pastor or spiritual leader a hypocrite? usually you only say that when you're trying to take a church or ministry down. But isn't hypocrisy a battle we all face? Even those with the purest of integrity...isn't the thing that sets them apart a dedication to realizing and battling their own hypocrisy?
this is why, by the way, I think a good vision for the church is "The Community of Beloved (and recovering) Hypocrites"
in any case, I heard about Jaeson Ma this morning via text, and was impressed by one of the following posts from his blog. it's quite long, I basically did a combination of reading/skimming through it, but I was struck and incredibly encouraged by how open this very successful man of God was about his struggle to not lead a double life. I'm so used to just seeing shiny plastic facades when I see what a successful person's PR department puts out there, it was great to see Ma share his struggles and, thus, the Power of God as He transforms and shapes Ma's life.
