i'm pondering this quick little ted talk by derek sivers this morning. i caught this idea to be quite radical in shift in the way we look at leadership.
"it was the first follower that transformed the lone nut, into a
leader… if you really care about starting a movement, have the
courage to follow and show others how to follow."
as with most things it has me pondering of faith.. wondering if Jesus is the nut, then who is the follower who showed us how to follow? Saint Paul? some of the Disciples?
where am i in this? am i the guy that's trying to get attention by some silly song and dance or do i need to figure out how i show to follow better?
i think if we asked Christ about the idea of following to lead he'd be pretty stoked by it.
Given the lectionary this week, the first follower is the naked guy in the boat who jumps in the water when Jesus calls him to the shore.

This was brilliant and also one of my favorite “flash mob dances” ever. It flows out of something natural and is organic. Nothing preplanned or choreographed.
Thank you for shirtless guys all over the word and the first nuts who make them leaders.
