Healthy Correction: Stop Being So Nice
Wired: Brain Science & Spiritual Growth
October 9, 2022
In Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s novel, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, Alice asks the Cheshire Cat, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” The cat replies, “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” Good point. But to Alice’s credit, at least she was willing to ask for some input!
An article on the ABC News website states that according to research from AAA, people older than 55 generally have the best sense of direction, getting lost just 26 times a year, on average. Which is surprisingly better than the satellite-navigation generation -- drivers younger than 25 got lost, on average, 37 times a year.
Sooner or later, we all need input as we navigate the challenges of life. Having the benefit of another’s perspective can help us figure out which way to go, what step to take, what correction to make, if we’re willing to listen.
We are wrapping up our series, Wired: Brain Science and Spiritual Growth this Sunday. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at how God has wired our brains for character formation, and the conditions we need to cultivate in our lives, in order for us to increasingly align the core of who we are with the character of Jesus. This week, we’re looking at the last of four essential nutrients for effective character formation: healthy correction. It’s the kind of input we all need. The kind that’s rooted in joy, saturated with hesed, and flourishes in a strong community. It’s something we all want – whether you know it or not.
