It's part of the reason I hate seeing child preachers. For better or worst, there is very little a child can tell me about life (directly and explicitly).


We once got a new young preacher who tried to decree that no women should be in the pulpit. Meanwhile my moms was 30 years older than him, been active in the struggle and have done more for the community than this young back ever has done. I.was.through.

My favorite type of preachers are those that lived full even wild lives who have seen the light and come to god. It's great when folks can speak from experience. I hate to hear people try to school me on things they no nothing about from experience.

Not saying you have to be a crackhead to speak on not smoking crack. But I would more likely listen to a person who has dealt with addiction or a family member with addiction because they can usually offer more than "Crack is Wack" and things that everyone already knows.
