Thanks for posting the link to that video, Raptor.
You are welcome. Some of his descriptions are amazingly similar to the Recovery. For example he talks about a pastor abusing his authority to protect his reputation and "the vision", and then the whole matter of accusing others that bring light to problems and issue.

Yeah my jaw dropped when he mentioned "the vision" too. I had started to type out some helpful quotes to post for those who didn't want to take the 75 minutes to listen, but the typing got too arduous and he was such a clear and logical speaker I just wanted to listen.

I just liked his whole grace-filled approach. He also described some of Jesus's actions in ways that made total sense but that I'd never seen that way or put together that way before. May go back and listen to it again!
