Flattery is number one. Flattery, people who are hyper spiritual, amen, praise the Lord, hallelujah types. Like just super spiritual, flattery, gifts, just you know, people who are just laying it on too thick and they just, people who take my kids aside and just grilling them about our personal lives and trying to ask all these really prying questions to me and my kids and trying, you know. Yeah, I mean to me like. Those people turn out to be bad. God gave us an intuition and I feel like it's on purpose. When someone feels like they're like a creepy, weird person, it's usually because they're a creepy, weird person. Like pretty much everybody that usually ends up being a false brethren, you have, a lot of times you can kind of point back to experiences where there was something really weird, creepy they did or sad or whatever. And so I think that you just, you gotta pay attention to those things. But at the end of the day, like, if they're gonna get exposed eventually, you just don't worry about it. I mean, if Christ washed Judas' feet. Let both grow together. Let the wheat and the tares grow together until the time of harvest. Don't try to separate them now. Don't try to like, this guy, I think he's probably your fault, right? It's like, you know, just love people. And I'll be honest with you, when I visited Steadfast Baptist Church in particular several years ago, not right now, but a few years back, you know, and I told Pastor Shelley this when he took over the church. Cause I said, look, here's some problems that I see that you need to work on. You know what I mean? Just things that I saw that needed to be improved. One of the things I felt like about Steadfast was that like, the church was just way too on red alert to where just every visitor was getting like interrogated or grilled and like, they had to like prove that they were not a reprobate or a phony. You know what I mean? Like, and you don't want to have that atmosphere. Like you want to give people the benefit of the doubt. So I'm constantly having people come to me and warning me about people. I'm always defending people and giving people the benefit of the doubt. And so it's better to be, you know, I'd rather like think that people are good and they turn out to be bad than to be just falsely labeling people's reprobates left and right. And so, you know, I felt like there was a time in your church's past years ago, you know, when you guys were a little too red alert and it was like, you know, let's bring that down to like Def Con three, you know? Like, cause you got, you know, you know what I mean? Like, cause you don't want to be that kind of church, you know, where visitors don't feel welcome or they feel like, you know, you're looking at them like, who are you, you know? So be careful of that.
