Well I started typing out this blog by putting all of my cards down on the table...but there is no fun in revealing my pocket Aces in a high stakes game of Hold 'em. So here is what I have to say:
My words are raw.
I am probably the biggest potty mouth among the worship leaders. When I need to, I can have a silver tongue. In the right company, I'm an effing sailor.
Beyond those "naughty" words, my words are raw. I like the truth. It is not heard enough...because everybody wants the polished words. The easy to digest words. The meaningless words because it makes us feel better about ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I try my best to think through what I'm going to say before I say it. I like being understood the first time I say something. I know my words carry weight.
But my words are raw.
