Kitchen Nightmares

I am hooked on this show that is on FOX on Wednesday.  Chef Gordon Ramsey goes into restaurants that are struggling and gives his feedback on how they can improve.  The funniest thing to me is the chefs who get mad.  They know their business is closing down and yet they get mad when the Ramsey gives his thoughts.  EVERY episode the chefs will say, “Ramsey doesn’t know what he is talking about.”

Really?  He’s a world class chef and yet these guys say he doesn’t know what he is doing!!!!!  It is no wonder these businesses aren’t making it.

Reminds me of a lot of church planters who are barely making it.  I love it when they seek advice but when they don’t like the advice they say you just don’t know their situation, their church, or their city.

Here is what I do know:  People are people.  Church planting is church planting.  If more guys listened and followed the advice they sought out, more guys wouldn’t be having kitchen…..I mean church planting nightmares.
