In this thought-provoking journey, we dissect the complexities of change and leadership, drawing wisdom from John Kotter's 'Leading Change' and Todd Bolsinger's 'Canoing the Mountains.' We'll explore the demanding landscapes navigated by the famed Lewis and Clark expedition and how their journey sheds light on the resilient leadership required to confront uncharted territories. As a backdrop, I'll share some personal anecdotes about my recent backyard renovation mishaps and my life-long love affair with audio gear.

Imagine being at a Taylor Swift concert, swept away in a sea of excitement and unity, only to find later that you've forgotten chunks of your experience. Why do we spend exorbitant amounts of money on experiences that often slip from our memories? Together, we'll explore the fascinating dynamics of music and worship, examining the blurred lines between secular and sacred, and the controversial theory of Taylor Swift's alleged disdain for Christians. We'll also delve into the sinister ways sin warps the good into the unsavory.

Lastly, we turn our focus to the spiritual implications of our entertainment choices. We'll ask hard questions about the appropriateness of Christian bands singing secular music and the necessary purge of certain influences for spiritual growth. We'll also contemplate the power of cross-cultural discipleship and the invaluable wisdom gleaned from our forefathers, with a special mention of Charles Virgin. Together, we'll endeavor to understand how our choice of music, media, and other forms of entertainment can steer us towards or away from living a Christ-centered life.
