Well, are you?


Know any crazy people??? There’s good crazy, not so good crazy…crazy-crazy folks!! Actually many crazy people doing life on church & leadership teams. Yes, you heard right! Ed Young gave us some principles on dealing with crazy people.

How do you know if someone is “crazy” or have “crazy” qualities?

They possess several or ALL of these:

You see “it” in their eyes
They pull the God card (all the time) “God told me…”
Name dropping!!
One :uping”
Blow the phone or scenario UP!
You give them advice, they get teary eyed…but DON’T change
Are SELF-centered & consistently think & talk about themselves
They DON’T have a filter
Dress in FULL gear of their team
Enjoy their dysfunction!!?!
Answer phone like this.. “yellooow”
They want, demand & ABSORD your FULL attention
Are pride-FULL (& ignorant to their craziness)

God has built-in a “crazar” radar in all of us. It will help you discern.

Some of the biggest leaders in the Bible were surrounded by crazy people…Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar. King Belshazzar, a crazy himself, in the midst of this situation, but couldn’t see the writing on the wall. He failed to see Daniel. He didn’t know who he was. As a result, he “deconstructed” lost it ALL.

We must weed through the crazy people, to find the “Daniels”.

God will give us opportunities to confront crazy people. Daniel did. When you must confront, do so in love & respect while honoring the position they hold. Speak the truth & shame the devil!!
