A Case For Loving The Work (That You Do)
In this fascinating NPR story “Good Art Is Popular Because It’s Good. Right?” the question is asked,
Why Is The Mona Lisa – Or Any Piece Of Art – Successful?
Quoting from the piece…
“The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world because people believe that there is something profoundly special about it, some quality so distinguishing that it deserves to be as famous as it is.
But is that true… Read More
The Flight Simulator Church
I remember hearing Paul Scanlon use the analogy of a flight simulator to describe what church is often like…
“The church I grew up in was great. I loved the people. We all knew each other and loved each other—and we loved God. But we were turned inward. We liked things as they were and we weren’t looking to be changed.
God began to speak to my heart. I couldn’t explain it but I felt this overwhelming sadness and I knew I needed to change. So I left that church, and it was painful. The people I knew all my life were upset with me for leaving. It was like I’d left an Amish community and I was being shunned or something… Read More
Problem With The Bible
This post, “My Problem With The Bible,” by Brian Zahnd is definitely worth your time. Please check it out!
I have a problem with the Bible. Here’s my problem…
I’m an ancient Egyptian. I’m a comfortable Babylonian. I’m a Roman in his villa.
That’s my problem. See, I’m trying to read the Bible for all it’s worth, but I’m not a Hebrew slave suffering in Egypt. I’m not a conquered Judean deported to Babylon. I’m not a first century Jew living under Roman occupation.
I’m a citizen of a superpower. I was born among the conquerors. I live in the empire. But I want to read the Bible and think it’s talking to me. This is a problem… Read More
Where You Are Right Now
I’m sure you know of a professional athlete who was not doing well on a particular team in that particular city…
Then, that athlete got traded to another team in another city—and all the sudden they thrived.
It was as if the old place just had the wrong mojo.
Sometimes, we think we’re professional athletes suffering in the wrong place.
And all we can think about is getting traded.
“If I could just move to a better city… Read More
I Believe The Details Matter
In today’s Leadership Bites (short leadership podcast), Andy Jones and I talk about why the details matter.
Posts You Should Read IMO
In my opinion, these two posts are ones you should read…
This post, “At What Cost?” by Andy Jones – so stinkin’ good… especially for leaders in the church.
This post, “Sabotaging the Hero-Complex” by Dan White Jr. And yes, that’s a picture of the Governor.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? Any great posts from this past week worth sharing?
