I've been working in overdrive for a while. I feel it in my gut and in my shoulders. This means it's a good time to stop for a while. I am grateful to have a previously scheduled trip come at precisely this time. So, I'm out. Don't worry, I'll be back.

"Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning." May I be so bold as to edit a C.S. Lewis quote? I might insert wisdom for imagination.
In our modern world we have unparalleled access to information. The internet has made knowledge a democratic enterprise. Everyone has access to anything. What we lack in this era of information privilege is wisdom. What do you do with the information? What does it mean? How do we act on our knowledge? Not just act, but act well - justly, compassionately, joyfully? Wisdom is not just the right answer; it's doing right with the right answer. It couples meaning with the truth. Psalm 11:10; Proverbs 9:10; I Cor. 3:19 If you search leadership books on Amazon, you will find some 57,000. The market for leadership books is saturated. A friend of mine named Jim Galvin published a book last year on leadership. Why another leadership book when there are 57,000? Jim’s book is a little different. His thesis is this: Good leaders need to be good followers. Every leader is a follower, and every leader has followers. Jim calls this “followership." Fundamentally, it's nothing new. It captures the essence of Christian discipleship. |
