Maybe 'mature leaders' do some of the blocking. In my experience, though, well meaning immature folks like pretty much all of us don't like threats to regular paychecks, reputations, careers and routines. Change is hard because the stakes are high. I appreciate your gracious take on folks that block the shock of the new.

I agree with Sonja and would like to add that it gives us great opportunity to learn how to be covered in God's grace as we do His work. Good words!
