Being the ‘Underdog’ is Overrated

Last updated on: November 10, 2023 at 2:25 pm By Dr. Chip Roper

0 Comments

There’s a well-established myth out there. It’s woven into the American imagination: Underdogs can come out of nowhere and win. This narrative is fed by a story from the Hebrew Scriptures: David and Goliath. It is common to say, “We are David, and they are Goliath.” This trope is memorialized in movies like Rocky, Kung-Fu Panda, and Rudy. Christ followers pile on to the fun, building on statements from the Apostle Paul “he chose the foolish of this world to... Read more

Burnout Recovery Coaching Program

Are you burned out? Are you stuck in a mode where you can’t get your motivation back at work? I’ve been there. And when you’re there, it’s hard to imagine what recovery looks like. It is even hard to think clearly. I used to assume that burnout requires rest, recovery, and a fresh start. While those can be part of getting our feet back under us, the real goal is to get the fire going again. Think of all the... Read more

Tim Keller, Batons, New York, and VOCA

Our normally effervescent pastor broke down and cried for several uncomfortably long spells in his Sunday sermon. Aaron was on staff at Redeemer Presbyterian for 10 years. The man he served on the teaching team with, the founder of Redeemer, Tim Keller, passed into the arms of Jesus Friday, May 19th. One of the things Aaron said was this: “Tim has officially passed the baton to us, those of us endeavoring to chase the Gospel, especially those of us in... Read more

This is Holy Week, commonly known as Easter. As Christ-Followers, we pause and remember the love, sacrifice, suffering, and conquest of Jesus. Holy Week starts with Jesus’ presentation to Israel and the world as the rightful King. “Your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9 Throughout the week, Jesus shows himself to be every bit the king of the universe...

Rage is Overrated

Rage seems to be all the rage. “Rage Applying” has now replaced “Rage Quitting.” Rage quitting was the strategy where you left your job in an atomic rant, without a plan, telling your boss or coworkers or anyone else, just how terrible they are as you storm out the door or click “leave” on your zoom room. Rage applying is where you blast off random job applications while still continuing in your job. Same reasons: you are fed up with... Read more
