S4E30: Biblical mentorship

S4E32 Stained glass legacy

Stained glass was referred to as the "Bible of the poor."  We can use the process of creating stain glass as a model for designing and building our legacies.  Is your legacy accessible and understandable to the masses?  Does it reflect, reflect, and diffract sunlight into a dance that fills dark rooms with hope and joy?  Listen to infuse your legacy with the beauty of the rainbow's richness.

S4E31: Systems designs, system failures

Garbage in, garbage out.  This is the essence of system designs.  Pivot to beauty in, beauty out for your legacy design.  Listen to blend and balance design concepts from art and engineering to build your intended legacy and a reserve for recentering it when things go awry.

S4E30: Biblical mentorship

Who are your role models for mentorship as you begin to mentor?  The Bible provides us with five examples of men who fulfilled the fundamental responsibility of mentorship: protecting the mentee.  Initially, this will be from external threats.  As the relationship matures, the mentor will need to protect the mentee from internal threats.  Mentors take on this duty because they serve a higher purpose and see the mentee being part of that purpose.  Truth is the currency of mentor/mentee dynamic.  Listen to sharpen your focus and execution as a mentor.

S4E29: Legacy fitness evaluation

It's important to pause from legacy building to legacy evaluation.  Set aside time to reflect and to ask others about your legacy.  How fit is it in terms of delivering your message and touching the lives of others?  Examine it for its strength, flexibility, mobility, and balance.
