Still pondering: calling people to deeper levels of responsibility (ie maturity) requires a deeper knowing of who they are, how they see things, their pains & dreams, etc. It seems difficult to ask individuals to ‘grow up’ when we haven’t given compassion to their less mature

selves. In fact, behavior modification might be the clothing we wear when we haven’t committed to a journey of deepening maturity that manifests into responsible humanity. If true, we are forced to ‘fit into’ ethics versus ‘living out of’ ethics. We don’t know why we do what we

because we were never challenged to do that kind of deep work. I think you have to say yes to the work as it’s much easier to fit in than it is to start with why. #stillpondering #soundedbetterinmyhead #stilltalkingaboutcampusministry
