This BTJ podcast episode with @sinbach reminded me of why I in first place want to support BTJ (with prayers, encouragement and financially). Oftentimes when I hear/read something that stirs up my spirit, I start to cry, not because I am sentimental but because I feel a connection with what's in my heart. And it's often about authenticity, honesty and going against hypocricy and false religiosity, as Eugene does here. I believe that a great deal of what is called "Christian ministry" is born of the flesh and natural giftings, in people who want to make themselves or their ministry/church a name. What becomes important then is money, buildings, numbers... and people are valued because of their giftings, titles, possessions etc. Jesus focused on "the least among us", he saw - and still sees - our hearts, our longings, our needs, our motives. I firmly believe that leaders with "no names" (like in the underground church) are the best leaders with pure motives.
