THE ROUNDUP

The best links I found this week

The Glory of Good Work (2 mins)

Darryl Dash / Dash House

There’s just something beautiful about watching a true craftsman ply their craft. Darryl explains why we enjoy seeing good work done well, and how we should cultivate our appreciation of this and others as well as seek excellence in our own work for the glory of God.

Watching someone do good work brings joy. So does hearing someone talk about how they do something difficult that’s worth doing for the good and enjoyment of others.

Being Human in a Disembodied World (4 mins)

Thomas Kidd

What’s happening to us as we spend more and more of our lives attached to screens instead of directly experiencing the real world? Thomas Kidd takes a look at a fascinating new book on the subject.

Never before have humans been able to spend the bulk of their lives inhabiting digital instead of analog worlds. Doing so seems to be causing ever-greater levels of loneliness and depression.

How to Be More Productive (41 mins)

Walking with the Wise

Had the opportunity to be on the Walking with the Wise podcast, this week. We talked about how Christian productivity works out in areas like leadership, habits, theology, fitness, and business.

Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

When the Elder Calls—From Outer Space (5 mins)

Emily Belz / Christianity Today

Maybe you’ve been following the story of the astronauts stranded on the International Space Station. One of them is Barry “Butch” Wilmore and he’s a believer.

Dahn said NASA allowed the church to be linked into the space station at one point for Wilmore to do a devotional, and the congregation on Earth sang songs like “Amazing Grace” with the astronauts at the station.

SOMETHING I LIKE

Flighty

If you travel a lot, you gotta check out Flighty. It’s just a beautifully designed flight tracking app.

WHATS NEW ON

Redeeming Productivity

“I Feel Guilty When I’m Not Overworking” (6 mins)

What do you do if your biggest issue isn’t laziness, but that you can’t get yourself to stop working when you should?

Read, Listen, or watch on YouTube.

A DOSE OF WISDOM

Quote of the Week

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet

Psalm 8:3–6
FINAL WORD

Thanks for reading!

I pray you have a great week getting things done for the glory of God!
