Slide from the path: 'Pope Buva' letter, 'you are not impressive,' and the Mark Driscoll scream bit

  • A listener's lawn is full of people expecting wisdom from 'Pope Buva' - what should he tell them?

A 'slide from the path' letter addresses a host as 'Pope Buva,' expecting worldly wisdom from his lawn like crowds at the Vatican. In response, a host recounts a rough stretch - losing income to having nothing, needing to ask God's people for food - and his counsel: you are not impressive, by any means, and societal impressiveness does not matter; what matters is God's view of you as his child. The segment includes a comedic audio drop of Mark Driscoll shouting about cowardice ('You're not God. You're just a man'), which the hosts use to riff on how brutally honest 'you flat out suck' can sometimes be exactly the help someone needs.
