015 - Mary Poppins Syndrome

Today we have a first where I had no idea what our topic really meant before we started recording. The concept of doing versus being is a bit elusive and sometimes confusing. Basically, it is a balance between who you are and how you act - the trick is to get the two to align.Doing is easy because it is measurable, for example setting a goal. Being, on the other hand, is like trying to measure your soul. No real yard stick for that. Joy and happiness come from creating a congruence between doing and being; in other words, finding a way to act in harmony with who we really are.The culture of the church teaches doing, rather than being the person God meant us to be. We live in a trance every day just trying to follow the checklist. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
