Have you found driving down a street you never set out to go on? Perhaps you began consciously thinking about your route, but before too long the conversation you had the night before came to mind or the podcast you were listening to captured your attention. Then without thinking your brain kicked into autopilot and you drove to work instead of the store? If this can happen with driving, could it happen with virtue? Could we actually become the kinds of people who automatically default to kindness, patience, gentleness without having to consciously think about it?
Have you ever experienced a gap between what you know is right and good for you in your heads, and how you actually live and behave? A gap between feeling inspired to change and then actually making an effort towards change? In a sea of endless content toward self-help, lifestyle coaching, motivation, and more, how can we avoid drowning in inspiration and make an effort toward swimming toward change? The Gap Series explores all these questions and more through the lens of Jesus’s teaching on our hearts, practices, and discipleship. Together, let’s close The Gap!
