3. Living Stones - Not Bricks - Dr. Jim Richards

What this episode covers

God wants us to be living stones – not man-made bricks. God makes a real distinction between us being stones or bricks because stones are unique and all different – none is the same shape, size, or color. We are living stones built up into a holy altar (1 Pet. 2:5). It takes every person being who they are in Jesus. God does not want us to be building an altar to Him made of bricks that we shaped. Why? We are not bricks before the Lord. We did not get set free from slavery when we were born again to become like every other Christian. God’s goal for you is to be the best you could ever be, fulfilling a destiny unique to only you.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
