Approaching a pastor using feel-good theology — gracious challenge, define the terms

Mike advises: ask the pastor to define the phrases ("what do you mean by 'you are enough'?", "what does it NOT mean?"). Push for clarity on what the congregation understands. The challenge: pastors using this kind of language often have hair-trigger defensiveness — they can sense correction coming. Approach graciously: say you have concerns, not condemnation. The goal is to get the pastor defining boundaries for their own slogans.
