"What Color Is Your Passport?"
Manage episode 282921066 series 2860839
Fifty years ago, Richard Bolles wrote a book designed to help people find their way into the world of work. It was called, What Color is Your Parachute? The book has sold over 10 million copies in 22 languages. And...it has been updated 48 times since. Once each year, since 1975. Finding a career in a changing world apparently is a challenge.
Unfortunately, many people seem to find themselves in the same dilemma regarding their own sense of identity. It has become accessorized. Something that has to be "updated" frequently, to fit what everyone else is saying about themselves.
But what if what works for your "parachute" doesn't work in the world of personal identity? What if who I am isn't supposed to change? What if knowing who I am is supposed shape the "color of my parachute"?
Playing off of Bolles' book title, Fran Sciacca takes us on a deep dive into the world of personal identity and the role it plays (or is supposed to play) in the life of a Christ-follower, in an era of racial tension and political confusion.
