Announcing My Lent Series: Taking Root
When I think about what I want or what advertisers tell me I want, I usually say something like this:
- Get more done…
- Work faster…
- Find more time…
- Become more organized and efficient…
Speed and efficiency are really, really important for us today.
If someone asked me how I feel, I’d probably say something like “I feel stressed, busy, and worried.”
In other words, I want speed and efficiency, but I feel awful.
Any chance our desires are related to how we feel?
Starting this Wednesday I’m launching a new blog series called Taking Root for the season of Lent.
We’ll be exploring ways to become rooted in God’s presence in the midst of a chaotic, uprooted culture. My pastor Jeff Cannell at Central Vineyard was key in helping me put this together. We call it a Christian version of the Zen Habits blog.
You’ll be able to read the posts each day of Lent here at this blog, but you can also download a podcast for each day of Lent by subscribing to my church’s podcast or visiting the podcast blog for each day of the series. We had a group of readers record each podcast, and the series logo was designed by Jeremy Slagle.
Be sure to stop by tomorrow as we kick off the series: How Living in Seasons Changes Everything
Can’t wait for the series! Also, my friend Caleb has a t-shirt line the is based around “take root, bear fruit.” Just thought I’d share it….
