"I wasn't sure what to say, so I asked my congregation. There was passion in their replies, and none of it had to do with how much they appreciate their preacher being such an amazing role model for them. Not one of them said they love all the real-life applications they receive in the sermons for how to have a more victorious marriage. Almost all of them said they love that their preacher is so obviously preaching to herself and just allowing them to overhear it. My friend Tullian put it this way: "Those most qualified to speak the gospel are those who truly know how unqualified they are to speak the gospel." Never once did Jesus scan the room for the best example of holy living and send that person out to tell others about him. He always sent stumblers and sinners."
