I think this is one of the many positive things that draws people to be a part of our spiritual community. Leaders might gain authority but don't loose their humanity. To whom much is given, much is required. But much grace is required as well. Thanks for trusting us and being a great example of it as well. Blessings! Jason Andy,

It is always so refreshing when spiritual leaders own up to not having all the answers. That is one of the things I really enjoy about our church leadership is that you all understand that we are on the same path in the middle of the same journey and whether you are 20 years into it or 5 years into it or 5 days into it we are all still infinitely far away from the end goal of the journey, becoming like Jesus. When leaders are willing to step out and "confess" to their being like everyone else it adds a tremendous amount of legitimacy to their message. These are the kinds of actions that trust in built on... Again thank you... Andy Jason,
