Monday Morning Mind Dump…

by

  • It’s been a while since I posted one of these, so I thought it was a good time.
  • A lot has changed since the last one.
  • My role at our church is now different, which I am really enjoying.
  • I get to oversee the WIN for our church and our teaching team.
  • Definitely up my alley.
  • Speaking of our church, two exciting things are happening this week: One, I am hosting our deeper dive into politics tonight. Two, we regather at our East campus this coming Sunday!
  • I can’t wait for both of those.
  • I’ve been asked by a lot of pastors what I expect when it comes to people returning to church.
  • My answer: “I have no idea.”
  • More than likely, a lot like the rest of the country, but we’ll see on Sunday.
  • Over the weekend, I finished a really fun and interesting book: The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win. Not a life-changing book, but had some really good nuggets, especially related to emotions and decision making. 
  • Last night I started Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life after hearing the author on a podcast, and I am hooked on this book. I highlighted so much of the first few chapters.
  • Because of how much time we are spending staring at screens for work, Katie and I are reading more often at night than watching TV.
  • It’s been nice in the midst of this crazy season.
  • A new season of parenting has happened at our house: watching shows we all enjoy.
  • A couple weeks ago we started the greatest TV show in all of history (yes I said that), The West Wing.
  • Several years ago, I started a podcast with a friend.
  • Then we took a break.
  • We are starting to record again and have some great things coming up.
  • Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss some things that will help you as a leader.
  • Speaking of podcasts, if you haven’t heard Carey Nieuwhof’s interview with Gordon MacDonald on The view from 80. Stop what you’re doing and listen to it.
  • 2+ hours of leadership gold.
  • Well, my next sermon is due at noon, so back at it…
