Pastor Offers Free Media Training To Phil Robertson

Even Phil Robertson’s own family admits that the way he expressed himself in the infamous GQ interview was a bit coarse.  If only Phil knew how to boldly, confidently state his Christian faith in a kinder, gentler way.  Right?

Fortunately, after years of trial and error, after falling down and picking myself up time and time again, I have discovered some very simple but effective secrets to expressing the honest, uncompromised, biblically-accurate teachings of Christianity in such a way that they are entirely inoffensive to everyone.

You say, “Hold on.  Are you talking about maintaining a strict adherence to the truth?”

Yes, I am.  But the good news is that I’m talking about doing so in a way that ensures kindness, respect and hearty slaps-on-the-back from everyone.

If a person will simply use these straightforward, easy-to-master techniques he or she can be a bold witness for Christ—being “salt and light” in this world—and yet still be loved by everyone.

So, I am hereby, officially, offering to teach Phil these techniques free of charge.

He or his representatives can feel free to reach me at any time and I will gladly, cheerfully help out.

In fact, I’m even willing to offer Phil a special “Media Training Intensive” which provides additional insights, skills and techniques for dealing with tough, secular media types.

Sadly, all of this fuss could have been avoided. 

But there doesn’t have to be a next time, huh?

I’m standing by and ready to help.  Give me a call.

A Bit of Good Timing Works Out My Way!







I went to the Apple Store today because my iPod has been malfunctioning.  The employee at the store examined my device, asked me a question and determined that it could not be fixed.

“When did you purchase this iPod?” he queried.

I told him, “I don’t remember for sure.”

“Was your purchase within the past year?”

“I think it was, but I’m just not sure.”

So, he looked it up on in their system and he said, “Boy, you are in luck.  There are only 11 days remaining on your warranty.  But it is still under warranty.”

“I only had 11 more days until the warranty expired?” I said.

“Yep!”

“What does that mean?”

“It means I can replace this broken one with a new iPod, free of charge!”

Those are very nice words to hear when your equipment is broken: “replace” and “free of charge.”  Yea, Apple Store.  Thanks!

So, there it is.  Eleven days.  That was pretty close, huh?  Every once in a while a bit of good timing works out my way.
