Validation

I saw the video below on a friend’s blog and I had to pass it on. The short film shows how a little validation can go a long way in building relationships and impacting one’s circle of influence. However, there is also a subtle lesson in the video as well. When we become solely dependant [...]

I do my best to live Christ-like on a daily basis but this guy took it to a whole new level last year. Ed Dobson is the Vice President of Spiritual Formation at Cornerstone University and he decided to spend 2008 living like Jesus. LITERALLY… and I do mean just that! He read through the [...]
