Interview on Advertising and Why We Shouldn't GoDaddy

On being a neighbor
You're good at what you do. You study and listen and read - honing your trade - only to understandably and occasionally forget that behind the progress toward success are real neighbors consuming your work.
So you must ask - and keep asking - not the myopic, "How can I get customers to fall in love with my product?" but a more generous, "How can I love by getting this product to my customers?"

"The more Gospel-inspired lay people there are engaged in these realities,
clearly involved in them,
competent to promote them
and conscious that they must exercise to the full their Christian powers which are often buried and suffocated,
the more these realities will be at the service of the kingdom of God...."
- Pope Paul VI

Yea Sam! I just had the chance to listen, and it was so great to hear you talk about your work. I was particularly struck and encouraged by your advice to not keep all family activities based out of the church/or Christian based...how important it is to continue to have contact with the secular world. That is something I am struggling with as a parent...how to "protect" my children from the media and "wordly" culture around them. How do I teach them to be in this world, but not of it? At first it seems easiest and safest to just stay in that "Christian cul de sac", as the hosts mentioned. But that is not what God wants from us. I loved your stories of talking with secular students, your roofing experience, etc. to help demonstrate how to share the true Gospel, where it is needed even more...not the cul de sac! :) Thanks Sam...and great job!
Thanks so much for listening, Melissa. Julie and I wonder about these same issues, and I'm not always sure we get it right. But we keep trying. With every new situation and opportunity, we seem to repeat the conversation about what's best for us, for our girls, for our church, and for our neighbors.
So glad you care about this stuff.
