Living It—Our Hidden Lenses
Saul and the Power of Paradigms
“I don’t care about knowing how my brain works … I just think.”
This was one church leader’s initial reaction to my content on the church’s thought habits. “I have to fight off the urge not to care.”
I appreciated his transparency … and I understand his point: If we’re satisfied with how we think, why take the time to check under the hood of our thinking?
But that reaction actually proves the point—because the way we think has already shaped what and how we want to engage. Saul, Israel’s first king, is a sad but real life example of this.
Note: This is a paid-subscriber follow-up to a previous article, The Lens We Don’t Know We’re Looking Through. It provides a biblical example of the disastrous effects of false paradigms.
