In my position as a life coach, I must always be looking ahead. Where is our culture headed? How do I guide people from where they are (their point of reference) through a journey that engages them to the depths of their soul (mind, will, and emotions) and spirit? Culture and the way people think are changing so rapidly that I will not even be on their radar if I try to do things the way they have always been done (tradition).
I must find new ways to connect with people. I must find new methods to engage them in new conversations.
I am a follower of the living Jesus. He guides my path. He instructs me. But so many today find that the conversation about Jesus is irrelevant. I will tell you that the way much of Christianity has painted Jesus, I would not want to be a part of it either. But when I talk about the real Jesus, the one who invades lives and gives real meaning and purpose... there is a great conversation waiting for those who will put aside the labels and preconceived ideas about Jesus and His followers.
We need more inspiration. We need to meet and talk to new people. Then we will be able to talk about Jesus that is within. :)
