  • 11 Questions - Part 3

    This week we again take a "Christ known" approach to Tim Ferris,' "11 Questions" from his NY Times best selling book, Tribe of Mentors. Here's the last set of the eleven questions we asked each other today.

    8. What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the “real world”? What advice should they ignore?

    9. What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?

    10. In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to (distractions, invitations, etc. )? What new realizations and/or approaches helped? Any other tips?

    11. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do? (If helpful: What questions do you ask yourself?)

    What are your answers?

  • 11 Questions - Part 2 (and a few words on COVID)

    This week we continue to take a "Christ known" approach to Tim Ferris,' "11 Questions" from his NY Times best selling book, Tribe of Mentors. Here's the second set of the eleven questions we asked each other today, some links to resources that were discussed, and a few words on Jessica's bout with C19 at the beginning.

    4. If you could have a gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it — metaphorically speaking, getting a message out to millions or billions — what would it say and why? It could be a few words or a paragraph. (If helpful, it can be someone else’s quote: Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by?).

    • Jessica: Psalm 119, "Krallman's never give up"
    • Jordan: 1 John 1:9, "Faith. Family. Intensity.
    • 5. What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made? (Could be an investment of money, time, energy, etc.)”

      • Jessica: Time (kids).
      • Jordan: Time (morning routine).
      • 6. What is an unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love?

        • Jessica: Reading.
        • Jordan: Organization.
        • 7. In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?

          • Jessica: Letting husband lead/being submissive.
          • Jordan: Prayer journal.
          • What are your answers?

            Season six kick off! This week we take a "Christ known" approach to Tim Ferriss,' "11 Questions" from his NY Times best selling book, Tribe of Mentors. Here's the first three of eleven questions we asked each other today and some links to resources that were discussed.

            1. What is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life?

            • Jessica: The Ology, Old Testament Devotional, and New Testament Devotional.
            • Jordan: Heavier than Heaven, The Ragamuffin Gospel, and 9Marks Books.
            • 2. What purchase of $100 or less has most positively impacted your life in the last six months (or in recent memory)? My readers love specifics like brand and model, where you found it, etc.

              • Jessica: Electric Balloon Blower Pump.
              • Jordan: Apple Ear Pods and Sakura Ink Pens.
              • 3. How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a “favorite failure” of yours?
