trust v expertise

“Most of us look for someone who has a marginal advantage over us in information. I tend to opt for trust over expertise, and I ask my brother.” (Lovemarks, p.173)
Hence the reason why the average follower of Jesus who is exhibiting real love for their friend is much better placed than the 'paid Christian' to share the message of Jesus.
As I'm fond of saying, "I'm paid to be good, you are good for nothing." And it is precisely because you are not paid to toe the party line, not paid to be good, that your voice has much more weight with those you work and play with, than the professional Christian.
