We remember emotional moments typically very well. Those are the things

that tend to stick in our minds. I remember the phone call from one of my

best friends distinctly. It was years ago. I was standing outside, and I

could tell immediately from his voice that this wasn’t a typical phone

call.

One of our mentors had just defected from the faith.

He had been part of the ministry for years. He had spent time ministering

to both of us. We esteemed him highly in the Lord. And he was caught living

a double life. It was disorienting. It’s not the only time that’s happened

in my life.
