Stop giving them so much ammunition. I went back and forth of whether or not to even post this video…but I think we need to see it; in this case especially those involved in TV ministry. Try not to get defensive, try to realize you are seeing it the way they are seeing it.

Pay attention to one comment this video received, it says it so well:

it may be a fact or truth 4 u, but its confusing 2 others. Im not saying avoid biblical questions, but there’s a right + wrong way to talk 2 people about other beliefs

I’m not in TV, I don’t know any of these guys…but I am in the business of changing the way the Church communicates and it must include an understanding of not only what you are saying but what they are hearing.

Ok…brace yourself, prepare to be made fun of, maybe even insulted…but allow it to make you a better communicator.
