So this brave woman who is a whistleblower, who is thinking and knowing that her speaking out is due to God, shouldn't say that? I get what you're trying to say, but understand the full context of what you're asking. You're asking someone to not tell the truth, to tell what they feel.
Part of the reason we got ourselves into this mess as a country, is our willingness to be quiet and to not bring God into things mostly because we know how people perceive it.
The Bible at no point talks about being discerning when mentioning Gods name in terms of giving him glory, to convince someone of something. We have to stop with this self fulfilled prophecy that when we mention Gods name to give him glory, that it's the "wrong time" to do so. That's essentially what you're saying. That framework builds a notion to be quiet about God, until X time. And that time gets pushed further and further, until we get here. The time for that is long over sir.
We tip toe where our opposition does not. We're silent when our opposition is not. You're asking people to hold their tongue until the right time. It's well intentioned but that's exactly how we got here. Many people in history categorized God believers who espoused his name as lunatics. The Saints never "picked the right time".
When looking at the clip. I think she used God at a very good time.
James could have kept that part out from a marketing standpoint.
Look... In order to reach the "Lost Souls".
We have to communicate with them in a way they are first comfortable with.
I think a lot of young folks are turned away from the church.
Because a lot of folks "preach" the word of God when they aren't ready to hear the message.
If someone feels that someone is preaching to them.
They might close off and not even give it a chance.
