Here is a great excerpt I read that I wanted to pass along. Any believer needs to be thinking about their shadow self and how they are bringing it into the light of Jesus. I hope this helps as you continue to press the edge of mission as an apostle, prophet or evangelist.

This momentous insight puts him centuries ahead of modern psychology and right at the center of rare but authentic religion. So much so, that most Christianity itself never notices or addresses this pattern. It is an inconvenient truth.

Ok, we are almost ready to print! Here was the clear cut winner from the comments, Facebook & Twitter. It was suggested to put the “ape” where the O is and I like that a lot. I also had them put the website on the back.

Not all things modeled should be copied.

My wife and I were laughing about this as we watched our daughter who is 20 months trying to pee standing up because our 3 year old is now doing that.

Great idea for Noah, bad idea for Sophie.

But this funny example got us thinking about the church today and many organizations for that matter.

Many of us tend to copy straight across the board what we see modeled.
