Too many people are happy to show up for demolition day but won& #39;t commit to the harder work of rebuilding & restoring.
Don& #39;t misunderstand: We must identify & dismantle false paradigms. We must do the work of tearing down.
But demolition is not the end goal. It is one step in the process of building spaces of hospitality & flourishing.
You can tell a lot about a person& #39;s values & goals by how they approach the work of demolition. Are they caught in deconstruction? Or does the deconstruction have purpose beyond itself? Are they rebuilding?
Again, don& #39;t misunderstand. Dismantling false paradigms & seeking truth is an essential part of the work. But don& #39;t neglect the harder work of building sustainable, beautiful structures.
Go ahead. Tear down the rotting beams & replace the crumbling foundations. Maybe even bulldoze the whole structure. But rebuild. Build beauty, goodness, & truth into the world. Make spaces of flourishing & invite people in.
