Yesterday, Seth Godin’s blog spoke to me. He said:
The goal in
blogging/business/inspiring non-fiction is to share a truth, or at least a
truth as the writer sees it. To not just share it, but to spread it and to
cause change to happen.
I’ve spoken with men who are stuck; I’ve been there. Heck,
in some parts of my life I *am* stuck.
I believe in a non-profit ministry that has a great way to
get un-stuck: The Crucible Project. They run The Crucible Weekend, a powerful
Christian weekend men’s retreat. They have helped me get things moving in my
life when I’m stuck. And this works when I have a faith in Jesus, I take
responsibility for my choices, and I’m part of a community of men who do the
same thing.
I don’t write b/c I’m particularly gifted at it: it’s hard,
time-consuming, and has mostly indirect impact (as far as I know). I write b/c
men in the Christian church are bored, asleep, punched-out, etc. It is bad for
our world, all the way down to our families and ourselves as men.
To be clear: I’m not fishing for pats on the back. Seth
wrote something that sparked a fire in me.
Wouldn’t you like a fire of your own?
