The best work is still work!
-let’s not be surprised if the work is sometimes un-thrilling; often it’s not
-let’s not abandon the work because we are growing weary of the mundane everyday-ness of it
-We won’t see the impact for years to come; let’s keep showing up faithfully to do the work
I need patience as a faithful sower instead of prioritizing the enjoyment of results and the product I’m aiming for.

“…those things I liked in high school [90’s hair metal] have bubbled up in surprising and unexpected ways; Even the stuff you’re embarrassed about isn’t beyond redemption.”
Enjoying the poignant, pithy truths alongside the many side-comments that made me chuckle aloud while listening.

Only to the middle of chapter 3, and already so many lines I want to highlight and people I want to send bits and pieces to.
Also I have cried once(!) because of a crazy-coincidental-God-thing overlap with a realization I had in my life just like he expressed in his. God is so kind to give us similar experiences of true things about him.
10/10 recommend so far.
