Quote by Jonathan Acuff

Pastors are starting to get wily. When people tell my friend, 'I'm not being fed,' he replies, 'I'm prefectly happy to spoon feed my one-year-old. But if I'm still spoon-feeding him when he's five, we've got a problem. Here's a fork. Feed yourself.

Pastors are starting to get wily. When people tell my friend

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of personal growth and taking responsibility for one's spiritual journey. The mention of pastors getting "wily" suggests that some may rely too heavily on their spiritual leaders for nourishment. By comparing the situation to spoon-feeding a one-year-old, the quote illustrates that it is natural to rely on guidance at the beginning of one's faith journey, but at a certain point, individuals need to develop their own understanding and nourish themselves spiritually. The idea of switching from spoon to fork represents a transition towards self-sufficiency in one's faith.
