He gave an anecdote of parents who run the preacher down in their homes behind closed doors, in front of their children-- eliminating the possibility of there being a positive influence of the man of God on the children when the time comes for someone other than the parents to reach them (crisis, rebellion, etc).
That was only one anecdote.
We all need a "man of God" in our lives and we should respect him a little higher than the masses of others who are in our lives.

But should we run
anyone down behind closed doors with our children? What does that teach them about the Body of Christ?
The elevated view of elders that teach/preach goes beyond the Scripture. This idea of everyone having a "man of God" in their life is a little skewed, and it's always built on the premise of a single-pastor system. "Your Moses"
