Chasing the Sage
What men want: Finding purpose and passion at every stage in life
Jesus asked a large crowd of people, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?”
Like many, I have grown up influenced by my family, the origin, the pulse of the media, and from the message of the world that more is better. I have chased it with reckless abandon, and along the way, I’ve mortgaged my soul.
Every so often, Jesus’ words have caused me to pause and consider another direction. I call this “navigating by resistance.” That’s how I seem to move through the years. I move in a direction until I run into something, then I adjust and go onward again. Painful. Simple.
Like the sage Solomon, who wrote Proverbs of wisdom, I fall seven times and get up eight. Proverbs 24:16.
What I have learned in a lifetime of falling and getting up and from the wisdom from many wise men who have spoken into my life, is that there are three primary movements in the heart of men, if navigated well, will allow us to rediscover our heart.
Chasing the Sage offers a way to restore the passion, fuel up, and finish strong.
