So have you seen the show Undercover Boss? It's a gamble but so far in two seasons it's been pretty good. We just watched one last night that we had on the DVR where this guy owned a timeshare resort company and boy was this guy "larger than life". He looked and lived like he was trying to compete with Donald Trump. (here's his show) So anyway, this guy really knew how to throw around money. Usually what these guys get (or what you hope they do) is that its not always about making money but its about people and they get a change of perspective and a change of heart about how they run the company and see their employees. I really like it when that happens. Well, on this episode this guy has a huge ego and wanted to go undercover to see how his company was doing. If you ask me he did the show to promote his business (of course). He works undercover with several of his employees all around the country in which he uses his private jet to get around. At the end he invites these employees to one of his private beach houses to go over everything he saw and experienced. With each one of them he threw around a lot of money, I mean a lot of money. He even paid off one guy's mortgage.
Well one young lady that he met with came away from this meeting and described it as "beyond life changing." That statement struck me. Now I know, she was young and still in college, therefore prone to exaggerate. But beyond life changing? The guy gave her a load of cash. Beyond life changing?
Maybe it just challenged me. Are we in ministry really trying to change people's lives? I'm not all about shock and awe at church, and I know that discipleship is a process, but when I read in the Bible about people's interactions with Christ, they were life changing events/conversations. I guess a real "beyond life changing" experience would be one that changes eternity. God can definitely handle that.
Lord, help me to have "beyond life changing" interactions with people.
