If I know Dan Willis his church is probably very diverse and probably attracts a large number of minorities. And this is a simple statement of fact: African American congregations and Hispanic congregations are far more gracious, merciful, tolerant and accepting of human failure and brokenness than white churches. I'm sure there are exceptions, but that's been my observation. Maybe it has to do with Christ's principle of "he who as been forgiven of much, loves much". Many minorities have struggled to such a degree they have more room for sympathy and compassion and giving a man a second chance than a lot of other folks do.
Maybe to a brand new audience, an audience that knows very little of his life and history, he can be effective, especially if he is transparent and forthcoming and contrite about what he has brought on himself.
