A Kinder, Gentler Philosophy of Success.
July 16, 2010
In this TED video, a secularist grapples with the meaning of success in the modern world. I found it fascinating and insightful.

Surrender to Freedom
June 24, 2010
Freedom is what I long for…. Surrender…brings all kinds of negative connotations. What does the freedom you long for look like? What is it that you are afraid to surrender? Does the call to conversion feel more like a call to freedom or to slavery? There is a transformation that is described from slavery to prince or princess, not just in fairy tales, but in the Bible; have you seen it happen? Have you felt drawn to it? Have you felt the inertia against it? How do we navigate this path? Join me for discussion at 9:30 AM this Saturday!
