She told me she went to church yesterday at a church (kind of like ours) where she was actually engaged by the message and understood it. She said, "He didn't talk all biblical-like. I could actually understand what he was saying." She talked about how different she felt going into her week, after going to church. I was happy with her about her experience and I thought, This is what Pastor Pete was talking about yesterday! I got my hair cut today by a young woman with hot pink hair.

For example, if someone has never had a faithful father it may be hard for that person to even imagine a God who is loyal, loving, and always faithful--expecting nothing in return. And a New Yorker may find a sermon relevant whereas it'd be Greek to a person who has always lived in a rural setting, so it's no easy task that pastors face. Yet another reason we must rely on the Holy Spirit and not ourselves. Side note: this reminds me of Pentecost when everyone was able to hear the gospel in her own language and how amazing that must have been.

I don't water the message down but I don't use the KJV either (heck, i can't even read that)...just make it real and let it come to life for them, that's how i do it! hey pete, a side note...are you going to Unleash in a couple of weeks? hey man, good point! it’s tough as a communicator to make sure everyone “gets” it because you usually have a diverse audience…I don’t know if I do it correctly but I try to be practical, and make it real life stuff.
