The ambassador
Knowledge, wisdom, and character. Leave one out and the other two sour.
On a napkin
- 1Knowledge: a case you could explain on a napkin.
- 2Wisdom: questions, timing, and the humility to stop talking.
- 3Character: gentleness and respect — 1 Peter 3:15 is a manner, not a slogan.
- 4You may leave. You are not obligated to be steamrolled.
Say this
I am not trying to win you. I am trying to tell the truth without crushing you. If I have failed at that, tell me.
“Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.”
