+ | |||
+ | It’s important for content creators—especially those in the newsletter and podcast spaces—to know what level of content they’re bringing to their audience. | ||
+ | - **Discovery: | ||
+ | - **Curation: | ||
+ | - **Analysis: | ||
+ | - **Vision:** You’re creating original ideas that help them navigate the world. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Summary** | ||
+ | * There has been a massive adoption trend around newsletters and podcasts, with people signing up for tons of them. | ||
+ | * Content moves through a value progression of Discovery, Curation, Analysis, and Vision. | ||
+ | * As people get overwhelmed with all the content they’ve signed up for, they’re likely to drop most of the newsletters and podcasts at the first and second levels. | ||
+ | * The highest chance you have of remaining on someone’s list after they cut 90% of their subscriptions is to provide analysis of what’s going on, and/or vision around what might be coming. | ||

+ | **The Almost Inevitable Ruin Of Every Minister . . . And How To Avoid It** | ||
+ | |||
+ | by [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | **//For every twenty men who enter the ministry, by the time those men reach age sixty-five, only one will still be in the ministry.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | >**1 Timothy 4:15-16:** Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Almost everyone knows someone who used to be in the ministry. Almost everyone knows someone who shouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | But the sad news for ministers is, regardless of your age or education or experience, it is almost inevitable that you will become the kind of minister you do not want to be. So I think it's important to address the subject of: the almost inevitable ruin of every minister . . . and how to avoid it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * They may get ruined by sex. | ||
+ | * They may get ruined by power. | ||
+ | * They may get ruined by pride. | ||
+ | * They may get ruined by cynicism. | ||
+ | * They may get ruined by success. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The sad reality is, you will become like that. That's you in a few years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's almost inevitable for every minister—**// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The world, the flesh, and the devil outnumber you, and they have you in their sights. ...unless you make the kind of spiritual progress that's spoken of in the Pastoral Epistles, you will be hit by enemy fire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Take pains with the things of God. Be absorbed in the Pastoral Epistles. Pay close attention to your life and to your doctrine. Don't let the ministry keep you from Jesus or keep you from learning. | ||

+ | **Think About Death Every Day by Ryan Holiday** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Original Article:** [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | In late 1569, a French nobleman named Michel de Montaigne was given up as dead [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | As his friends carried his limp and bloodied body home, Montaigne watched his own life slip away, like some dancing spirit on the “tip of his lips,” only to have it return at the last possible second. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This sublime and unusual experience marked the moment Montaigne changed his life. Within a few years, he would be one of the most famous writers in Europe. After his accident, Montaigne went on to write volumes of popular essays, serve two terms as mayor, travel internationally as a dignitary, and serve as a confidante of the king. | ||

If you aren’t paying for it with money, you’re paying for it in other ways. Whether it’s your time, your privacy, or your intellectual property, you’re giving over to Facebook something of value every time you use it. | ||

+ | ===== Pastor-Teacher vs. Self-Help Coach ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The Pastor-Theologian: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pastors of what seems like a long-lost era were doctrinally grounded and biblically saturated, to be sure; but they were also well-read in other important branches of study—literature, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most importantly, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ...the larger contemporary church has loaded the pastoral role with responsibilities and expectations that hinder if not altogether prohibit the work of theology. The pastor is seen chiefly as a “leader, organization builder, administrator, | ||

Within the context of the Mosaic covenant (the Mosaic Law being the stipulations of the covenant) God made another covenant with Israel: (Deut 29-30) the Palestinian covenant. I find myself describing this as the "life and land" covenant because it set the requirements for LIFE (Dt 30.6, 16, 16, 19) and for that life to be lived in blessing in the LAND (v3, 5, 16, 20). | Within the context of the Mosaic covenant (the Mosaic Law being the stipulations of the covenant) God made another covenant with Israel: (Deut 29-30) the Palestinian covenant.

The Palestinian covenant is the door to the New Covenant. The LIFE promised by the Palestinian covenant is the REGENERATION and NEW/ETERNAL LIFE provided for in the New Covenant, ratified by the death and resurrection of Christ. | The Palestinian covenant is the door to the New Covenant.
