This is gold. As a retired pastor/preacher with a passion for using my words and my voice to encourage and inspire others, this is so helpful. I'm editing a Palm Sunday post today, and looking at it through this new lens. Thank you!
So helpful. I have a feeling I’ll be scanning for these now - both in my own writing and in the writing of others. Over the past year or so, I’ve been working on creating a stronger "common denominator" in my writing. I saw someone else (I think Hunter Harris?) describe it as sitting on the same side of the table as your reader (even if you differ from them in some ways). Before, I’d often lapse into writing AT someone from my past or present (and not in the friendliest way). This could sometimes feel like a release at the time of writing, but ultimately it left me feeling worse and didn’t feel as though I was fully embodying my ethical principles.
