Karate Kid Mentorship
Yes, right now, as I type this, I’m watching The Karate Kid and I must admit it is touching me in all the right places intellectually and spiritually. Through it I’m reliving my childhood; through it I’m seeing a beautiful story about a father wound getting healed, while at the same time getting a beautiful picture of relational, intentional mentorship.
The relationship between...

A new wave is coming. It is different than the last. The tide is changing as the moon is shifting through the night sky. There are similarities to the last moon, but they are not the same. There is something new stirring; this is unmistakable.
What is stirring? What is growing? What is moving? Where is it going? When is it going? How is it going? What is the plan? What is the purpose...

My girlfriend sent this to me. It’s pretty epic.
