They have a lot to say. They’re also quite opinionated and will quickly point out things that should be done better or differently. They also talk passionately about their calling.
But you ask them to get involved or do something in the church? “Sorry, it’s not time yet.” They’re “waiting on God.”
After a few months, you approach them again. Since you want to give people an opportunity for involvement you make another attempt. You believe in the idea that “everyone gets to play.” But again the answer is the same. “Waiting on God.”
Finally they disappear without any notice. After some inquiry you find out they found an opportunity someplace else. So much of my time was wasted. I suppose they belonged some place else in the first place.
