Constantly putting out fires gets old. It wears on you fast and it’s not productive in any way.
I’m not going to waste my life or my leadership by always sacrificing the things that are of eternal significance for the little “urgent” junk that comes my way ever single day.
Instead of putting out fires all the time, I say let’s go start some.
Last week at Catalyst 2008 Nic and I somehow convinced our Lead Pastor, Cole Phillips to take one for the team. A company we use sometimes for videos called Sermon Spice had a booth set up with a little game you could play that involved habaneros, jalapenos, and some other kind of tainted peppers from Mexico.
Needless to say…it didn’t turn out well. Read more on that over at Cole’s blog. All I’ll say is that the noises coming from the other room as Cole chundered his guts out almost made me puke just listening…I felt awful for him.
Cool to see that he would do literally A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G for our church though.

Ever wondered what you look like nano-second by nano-second? I found out earlier this week by time lapsing myself during our all team meeting. Made some pretty ridiculous faces…enjoy.
