Pastors avoid talking about money in discipleship even though Jesus spoke about it constantly. Money shapes people's hearts as much as adultery does, but churches skip the hard conversation because it makes congregants uncomfortable.
If you're a pastor listening to this, the point of, of leading a church is discipleship, right? And it's. It's to lead in the manner that Jesus directs us to, to do so, right? And so we have to talk about hard topics. We have to talk about these things that are a heart issue, because we got no problem. I think of pastors got no problem talking about adultery, right? No problem talking about murder, like, don't do it. Right. It's pretty simple topic, easy one. But then when it talks about money, everybody in the congregation starts to squirm in their se. It's just like. And this is why I think, really Jesus talked about it so much, because the power that it has on us.
