The Fakery of (Christian) Leadership

Christian leaders often don't show up as honest or real.  I know.  I've been guilty. 

Too often the public persona and presentation drips with what is perceived to be acceptable 'spiritual' lingo.  But go out for coffee or a beer with those same leaders and the real, raw and honest spirit shows up.  So, why the facade?  What purpose does the alternate reality of their pulpit persona & presentation serve? 

Leaders - whether you are a pastor or a leader in another capacity- stop serving up truth cloaked in Christianized lingo.  Speak the language of the street, where those you lead actually live.

You're impressing no one - least of all Jesus, who as we so often declare, 'moved into the neighborhood' and became like one of us.  

Live and speak the language of those you lead.  

Be. Real. Honest.
