This was good for me. While regularly pastoring and preaching I was, of necessity, more in the realm of the Christian tradition. Since taking on the LBC presidency nearly three years ago, I have engaged far more in educational administration, the presidential learning curve, building relationships, solving problems, laying out some idea of the future, and all this in the context of COVID, national race struggles, the multiple complexities of higher education (pricing, curriculum, modalities) and the challenges of our own institutional growth and development. My own thinking and writing in matters of “thoughtful Christianity” have been off pace. The (mostly) delightful but relentless pace of this role leaves me desiring rest in the form of automotive diversion or Lake time, leaving little time and energy for renewing my mind in the Christian faith tradition other than that which, by necessity, I gain from my day-to-day reading and interactions.The author whetted my appetite for more intentional engagement particularly, but not exclusively, through reading some of his recommended resources (some new, some not).
