Are You One of Us or Are You Not?

One of the things I've seen for a number of years now is pastors who are so wearied by the reactions to their churches. They say anything that sort of goes outside of the comfortable, cultural bubble that people are used to living in. And it's an incredibly wearying thing where not only is there the pressure and the sense of like, I want to keep these people in the fold, but there's also the pressure of you will be punished if you go against the crowd.
