1. Endorse a book you didn’t actually read.
2. [Capitulate to a Twitter mob](https://twitter.com/richvillodas/status/1631653097901551617?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) demanding you retract your endorsement for the book that you didn’t actually read.
3. Call the book’s argument, [which is almost identical to things you’ve said in your own books](https://americanreformer.org/2023/03/the-gospel-cancelation/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com), “problematic” and “dangerous.”
4. Apologize for “causing harm” by endorsing a book you never actually read.
5. Wait two weeks.
6. Get invited to cohost a podcast with a major evangelical institution on being a resilient pastor:
