Yesterday I drove up to Santa Barbara, and I heard a couple of things that made me think about ministries in our churches. One was a KPFK radio program featuring Gay Hendricks, author of The Big Leap, and he suggests a "zone of genius" that each person should find in order to find a super fulfilling work and personal life.
The other was the idea that when you are doing something you love, you go to bed thinking about it and wake up excited to get to work, making your vision come alive.
Both resonated with me. One, because most days I feel like I've gotten super lucky and get to operate within my "zone of genius" here in PSWD, and two because I think an important aspect of being a religious leader is asking the right questions and encouraging others to find their "zone of genius." Getting into that zone might be uncomfortable for some, because it may require giving up current comforts in order to take a leap into the unknown. But if we are operating out of that place that gives us deep fulfillment, emanating out of our passions, many good things will come from it.
