I did it again. I ran across yet another blog of a church leader who felt it necessary to post a disclaimer on their blog . It went something like this... "This blog reflects my own thoughts/opinions and may not necessarily reflect those of INSERT CHURCH NAME HERE."

Something about this just doesn't sit right to me. I completely understand why church leaders see the need to do this - especially if the blog is a part of their actual church website, or at least linked from within the church site. I guess part of me feels that there is a little disconnect when the words of the leader don't necessarily reflect the thoughts/direction of the church they are leading out in.

The thing is that I just don't see this reflection in any other blog that I read out there. I've been knee deep in finishing up an official "GiANT blog" (not called that) that we will hopefully be launching very soon. Jeremie, my friend & the CEO of GiANT Impact will be the primary writer on the blog. I think I can pretty accurately say that the words he shares on the blog will very much so reflect the thoughts of the company. His heart as the leader of this organization is painted all over the things that we do, the ways that we do them, and the people who carry them out.

Don't know where to land. Part of my heart hurts that there are leaders that God is using to shape the form & future of His Church that feel the need to either neuter the passions of their heart (reflected in the words they speak & write) or to offer a disclaimer of some sort.
