And This Week Your Message Will Be…?
(**please take a moment to watch the video posted above as it corresponds to this weeks message**)
The artist/collaborator of the above video, MadV, is considered one of the web’s most influential and viral content producers for the last several years. Yet, rarely, if ever, does he actually appear in the videos. His identity and location is unknown. He has been offered a lot of money to come out of hiding and promote for global corporations only to continually refuse to take the money. For MadV, the message is the most important part of what his mission is about. Nothing else.
So today, in light of this video, I have to wonder what the message is we will be sending out as providers, counselors, and mentors to a community of people that need a life changing message.
Will it be based strictly the program or curriculum that you run?
Will it be so instructional that it’s minus such things as faith, hope, or love?
Will it be bound by the fear of engaging the soul, the intrinsic child-like dreams within us all?
Or will it be conveyed with more than words? Conveyed by the active listening, obvious concern, and the guiding hands of treatment by counselors who know the road our clients are on? Leaders who don’t walk ahead of their clients, but walk with … and sometimes even pick-up when they fall down?
You see, the message we speak as a team - as humans - won’t be received by the just words we profess, but by the actions of our lives in the lives of others.
This is a message that is written on the very pages of your soul and translated by the actions of our hands in the lives of those we are called to serve.
And finally, Team KTC, focus on living-out-loud what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and joyful! (Philippians 4:8) … a message worth living!
