Why Heroes Don't Change the World

from The Daily Edify · host Jeff Lehn

Today's episode is about how change actually happens: not through outside heroes to swoop in and work on their own, but through small groups of dedicated people who want to heal the world. We hear a few lines from Margaret Mead, Howard Thurman and John Paul Lederach, but then spend a few minutes on the recent TED talk by David Lamotte, "Why Heroes Don't Change the World." How can you be part of realizing God's dream in the three-feet around you right now? Which 2-3 people can you meet with to work on something that breaks your heart right now?
