Teaser: Hero’s they are literally everywhere in our society today. We seem to need heroes today now more than ever. And there are some undoubted heroes among us right now. We love and admire them deeply. But the question we ask today is what makes a hero so? And how do we boost the heroism in ourselves!

Welcome back to the podcast! It has been the summer of interviews at the inclusive activism podcast and that is a very good thing. So far I know you have heard from Dr. Matthew Whitaker, and Luke Black. I think you might even will have heard from the Executive Director of Anytown Eric Tanchez by this time. So I am curious how are you liking these interviews? Are they good are they of value? I also have 3 in the with a few others coming up so sit tight!

I also ask because the individual topics still seem to dominate in the rankings at this point so I am hoping to hear your thoughts! So remember you can email me at [email protected] or leave me a voicemail at 860-576-9393. I would love to hear your thoughts!

So on to the podcast for today! I got excited about this topic. What makes a hero? How does an ordinary person make the extraordinary choices to become a hero? And if everyone is capable, how can we draw more heroism out of ourselves?

First thing: Heroes See Voids of Need better than the rest of us. They see the world differently than we do, and they take more ownership of the outcome of the world than the rest of us. While we drive past the person stranded on the road because we don’t want to be late for work, the Hero decides to be late anyway. The hero in them calls them to help. There was a study done on preacher who were asked to do a sermon on the story of the good Samaritan the man who was supposedly lowly. He took in a beaten man stopped by the side of the road and not only helped him but helped him to the point where he put him up in a hotel and gave him a reserve of money to get better on, and also told the innkeeper to keep a tab if the money was not enough. These preachers were asked to create a message about the good Samaritan to give to another congregation.
