A couple of weeks ago I was watching an interview with and Andy Andrews in which they were discussing how a culture can be changed. Mr. Andrews proceeded to sketch some things out on a chalkboard and the truth of what he was saying really struck me – and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since.
I am a visual person so I like diagrams, pictures, graphics, etc. They help to solidify things in my mind and make them clearer. So a couple of days after watching the interview and thinking about what was talked about, I created a picture. I look at it every day, and even have it as the background on my laptop so I am reminded. I tweaked a little bit of Mr. Andrews’ concept to fit a broader spectrum of what I feel is needed as foundational knowledge.
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-27
