Have you ever listened to yourself on a voice recorder? I will never forget the first time I heard myself preach from a cassette tape. My heart sank as I heard the sermon. I cringed as I listened to the dialect, tone, and inflection of my voice. “Something had to be wrong with the tape, or the recorder,” I thought, “there’s no way I sound like that.”
But I did…that was really me. The raw reality of myself came into light that day like never before. It was as though I was introduced to myself for the first time.
