episode 65: Knowing When to Quit
Episode description
Craig and Cody connect for a shorter episode to discuss two topics in particular:
The recent wave of retirements in the world of professional athletics (headlined by Tom Brady) prompts Cody to ask: When do you know it’s time to quit? We don’t leave the discussion in the realm of sports—we talk about careers, ministry, and relationships.
The conversation naturally flows to the popular topic of deconstruction. While both hosts are pro deconstruction, both notice a couple troublesome aspects that can suck the life and positive intent out of deconstruction: 1. marketing/capitalizing on it as a trend; and 2. getting frozen in deconstruction as a “calling card,” rather than building anything new from the rubble.
