Erwin McManus: Live and Let Drive
Published August 10th, 2007 by Editor in Emerging Church, Erwin McManusFrom Panel—Hummer or Honda? What Should a Pastor Drive?
in Leadership Journal:
Most pastors are conservative, so they drive conservative cars as an extension of their conservative personalities. If pastors today lived 100 years ago, they would be driving a horse and buggy. I’m not as conservative as most pastors. Forget the horse and buggy; I would choose a racehorse like Hidalgo.
I love to drive. I suppose if I lived in Manhattan, I wouldn’t have a car. But I live in Los Angeles, and here driving is an essential part of life. That’s why I prefer anything fun and fast. Basically, I think pastors should drive whatever fits their personality. In the end we should choose to drive whatever we want.
