Have you ever had a Hero? Growing up I never idolize sports heroes or WWF wrestlers like all my friends. I was more of a Gene Roddenberry and Walt Disney guy. They created worlds both imaginary and physical; wolds were there were happy endings and worlds that showcased the best of humanity
They were all I had until I started attending Flat Irons Community Church and I discovered a man named Jim Burgen. As the Lead Pastor, he taught me what Christian masculinity could look like. He even celebrated it. He taught me the healing power that a band of brother and brutal honesty could bring.
He and his vision is one of the reasons 1720 exist. But with high pedestals come long falls and this week my hero took a tumble. Today we will examine how a strong vision can impact its followers and what it looks like when the power behind the vision falls.
I hope you get something out of it.
