“Let’s go deep” typically precedes confusing and controversial content. Many snack shop theologians revel in endless debate over “deep mysteries.” But a pause in argument reveals an audience sitting in greater frustration and reduced clarity. When animosity and ambiguity continually result from “deep” communication one must ask some basic questions...

Why am I speaking?

Am I trying to make clear the truths of heaven or project my intellectual capacity?

What is the point of my “depth?”

I find the most inspiring communicators bring deep things to the surface.
