NewThat's a lot of change for cool
I’m not one who is averse to high end products, and there are a number of things where I don’t buy the lower end, but there’s a certain point where I really don’t see the point of going to the ultra high end. If a person walks up to me wearing thousand dollar sneakers and a $760 t shirt from Givenchy, I’ll either not pick up on how much they spent for their clothing, or if by some chance I do recognize what they’re wearing, I’ll conclude “they’ve got more dollars than sense.”
Which is not a good look for anyone, but especially not for a pastor. There is a difference between key components of quality and snob appeal, and it’s not that subtle.
