Joel Hunter on Engaging in Difficult Conversastions

He also didn't say he brought up Glenn Beck. He very likely mentioned social justice or a related topic, which Beck calls "code words" for socialism. Sounds like the parishioner followed Beck's instructions and left the church. If a member of the church places their politics first, that's not in the pastor's job description to accommodate.

I have to say i did appreciate your comments about courage and facing controversy.

Is it worth or even right to force people to leave your church by making Glen Beck an issue rather than Jesus Christ ? Is this man's attitude in line with a pastor's primary responsibility to care for the flock ?

@celal777 Yes, yes it is. Particularly because he didn't talk about forcing people to leave.
