I ran across this song I wrote and recorded in April 2020 and it reminds me of the reflections I posted last week, Scoreboard as Pulpit. Remember how the score in the middle of the game doesn’t determine whether you win or lose? In the same way, the conflict or uncertainty or drama in the middle of the book does not determine how the story ends. Read more and listen to the song . . .

These two girl bosses are taking control of their lives and their futures and they will not let anything come between them and their big dreams. Opening this business was not just a step. This was a leap - and it has me pondering big dreams and leaps. I wonder - what is it gonna look like for me to take the leap? What is it going to look like for you to take the leap?

As I find myself tossed between the extremes of chaos and boredom in mid-life, I am drawn further and deeper into the conviction that nobody needs a podium or position for their life to speak. I'm weary of the status quo of simply checking off a box by listening to a sermon. It just doesn’t cut it as I wrestle with and celebrate the complexity of my own humanity. It just doesn’t cut it for all of humanity that is designed for community and relationship. It seems that creation is groaning for something more personal and meaningful, for purpose and peace. It is this stirring in me that has led me to seek to live "Life as Pulpit" and invite others to join in.
