more from “tribes”
From my friend David – it’s so short, I’ll just repost the whole thing… his quote and commentary. It’s very true. David’s last statement reminds me of the response the Pharisees had when this heretical Jesus guy started threatening the “institution”; they were very aware of what was at stake – per John 11:48.
I’m reading Tribes, written by Seth Godin. One thing caught my mind:
Heretics are the new leaders. The ones who challenge the status quo, who get out in front of their tribes, who create movements.
It’s an ever changing landscape, and people no longer want the usual, the status quo of doing things, whether it’s in business, community organizations, or even church. The people who are happiest with their job, are often the ones that are most productive and making the greatest impact. People no longer settle with just getting a paycheck, or just going to a Sunday service.
The sad part is that most people think heretics are trouble and should be silenced.
