Change In Focus – Leadership In Life

Three Approaches To Pain And Suffering
“Ignorance is bliss.” English poet Thomas Gray Yesterday I tweeted an old thought that came to mind a couple of years ago. It said, “Which is better, to be happily deceived or disillusioned, yet aware?” So much of my life over the last 10 years has been about wrestling with my own disillusions, yet aware that they exist. And as …

What’s Your Intrinsic Mobilizing Story?
Do we have an intrinsic mobilizing story that compels us to follow? This video by Francis Chan is interesting for several reasons. Francis talks about how we’re attracted to Jesus but not really willing to follow Jesus. We like what Jesus did, but we’re not willing to see Jesus as an action role model to emulate. The subtle tension is …
Embracing The Adventurous Way
What are you running from that is meant to transform you? About eight years ago I made the intentional decision to face my fears. My mentor told me a very important story of a man who had been running from his fear for ages. My mentor had worked with this man for a while and finally told him to reimagine …
