Scout vs. Soldier

[SouthernMo]

This TED talk got me thinking about my paradigm on the church/gospel.  Should we view the teachings of the church as a scout - and be open minded & pragmatic, or view it as a soldier - a faith to be defended?

I view everything as a scout using her paradigm. But that includes my own experiences. In other words I do not approach the gospel solely from a scholarly standpoint. I read it, explore it, study about it, pray about it, and live it. All those things go into drawing my conclusions. And my beliefs have changed over time.

What a great talk and a great approach to life. I especially like the last few minutes where she talks about "What do you yearn for?"

Thanks for posting this!!!

We do not want anyone with a Scout mindset. We are phasing it out next year.
