Pope Style: stop setting milestones, start walking miles
- Should Christians stop setting milestones and start walking miles?
The Pope Style bit opens with the recurring joke that locals think Ben is the pope and gather on his lawn. The advice: stop setting milestones and start walking miles. People spend their lives marking guideposts (goals, measurements, agreement with Jesus' words) without ever doing the miles; agreement on Sunday with no follow-through produces no fruit, and the Christian life becomes admiration of milestones instead of walking.
