Every production, whether it’s a tv show, radio show, movie, play, etc.. has its “behind the scenes” component.
Projects, volunteer events, churches, ministries also have behind the scenes events and those that influence those events.
The behind the scenes (or BTS as I’ll use for the rest of this blog entry) folks typically are heralded as those that made the difference in making the production/event a success.
However, sometimes there are BTS folks that can cause a negative experience or impact on the project/event. These types want to use their influence to put their personal, selfish spin on things, but do not want to be known that they’re doing this, nor do they want to truly participate in the process.
These types tend to be phony and gutless.
When you experience these types:
1. Pray for them
2. Let God be your avenger (kudos to Joel Osteen for that quote)
3. Forgive them
If you are a leader in your particular project/event, you need to call the individual(s) out when they are doing these things. We need to hold people accountable.
I’m the first to admit that I’ve made mistakes. I’ve hurt others. I’ve also been hurt by others by their mistakes, as well as self serving interests.
I prayed for those individuals, let God handle the situation, and forgave those that hurt me.
I’ve been blessed with discernment. In comic books, it’s also called Spidey-Senses.
This week my Spidey-Senses are tingling.
Stay tuned.
