I am fresh off a lunch meeting at one of the new Duckpin Bowling establishments in town (Ducky's). It was... a place. But more important than that... here are my five things you've been waiting all week for!!
- Boy, oh, boy... I started reading 'A Non-Anxious Presence: How a Changing and Complex World will Create a Remnant of Renewed Christian Leaders' by Mark Sayers this week. Wowza. It was written during the Covid shutdown, so things have grown even worse in the world, but this is a pretty powerful little book as far as understanding how we got here. I still have a few chapters yet to go and can't wait to get to them.
- I liked this article about how football coach Chris Petersen apparently reset Sean McVay's coaching career (and maybe life); and especially liked this quote from Chris: “The arena can squeeze you and narrow you so quickly to certainly a lesser version — or the worst version — of yourself extremely easily... You have to have a plan. You have to be almost counter-culture. Like, you have to work against everything society is telling you and rewarding you for.”
- I've been reading Richard Beck's substack series on Free Will and Predestination. This first one was really helpful (as are most of his writings).
- I also like Chuck DeGroat's substack writings. Particularly this short piece on Authenticity, which he says is "...the slow remembering of who you were before the world named you too much or not enough."
- I've already shared a couple quotes, so here's one in the form of a meme I stole from someone who stole it from someone else:
Peace
