Anonymity can have its perks. Even celebrities get tired of cameras in their faces and fans asking for autographs. The only autographs I ever signed were at the bottom of checks ... and those were to pay the bills. As Jesus’ ministry gained momentum, anonymity became impossible. Crowds started to follow. Word about him spread quickly. But the real question was: did people actually understand who he was? In Matthew 16, Jesus asked his disciples two questions. Question One: Who Do People Say I Am? “When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’” (Matthew 16:13) They answered with what they had heard: John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or another prophet. People admired Jesus. They respected him. But admiration is not the same as understanding. It’s possible to be sincere and still miss the truth about him.…

Mindset Before Method We often jump into our to-do list before checking in with our mindset. But how I show up matters just as much as what I get done. That’s why I ask myself one question each morning: “How do I want to show up today?” If you’re building something that matters, give equal attention to your mindset and your method.

And in a world that glorifies hustle, reflection is a quiet act of resistance.

The late Christian author Doris Betts was known for her short stories and essays. In one of those stories she tells about driving down the highway in North Carolina and seeing a highway patrolman beside the road. That's not an unusal sight. What he was doing was quite unusual (maybe not for North Carolina!). As Betts got closer to the police officer, she noticed that a truck hauling chickens had veered off the road, the crash causing the back of the truck to come apart. The chickens were running free -- or for their life, whichever way you want to look at it. The driver of the truck was frantically trying to gather the chickens. Some people who had observed the crash were actually trying to steal the chickens. Chicken parts were everywhere. The scene was a mix of horror and humor, and the lone patrolman was trying to bring…
