This made me go, “Hummmm”

I received a book a couple of days ago from Amazon and I can’t seem to put it down. Today I came across a quote that made me go, “hummmm”
The set up…
At times communicators try so hard to keep everything right in their head and desire so badly to deliver the product with perfection. A master communicator and pastor Andy Stanley had this to say to a fellow communicator right before he was to walk on to the platform to give his message he was working so hard to keep straight.
“How would you communicate the message if your eighteen-year-old son had made up his mind to walk away from everything you have taught him, morally, ethically, and theologically, unless he had a compelling reason not to? What wold you say this morning if you knew that was at stake? Because for somebody’s son out there this may be his last chance. Now quit worrying about your outline. Go out there and plead your case like your owns son’s future was at stake.”
This has captivated my thoughts since these words passed though my eyes and came to rest on my brain.
WOW...Great thought. God has bringing me to a new place

Pastor J, Thanks for the feedback. It is
