Video Transcript: Be Inspired

All right, in this lecture, it's going to be a little different. I'm really just introducing  you to several videos that I want you to listen to this week. They're they're not  me. You know, we've been together for a long time, and I want you to hear some others. And I just want you to be inspired on several topics that lead that really  encompass enterprise. I've entitled this. Just do it part three, be inspired. I hope  these things inspire you. They did me. So I'm gonna have you listen to these  TED Talks. I don't know if you know much about TED talks, people talking on  every subject under the sun, and they're short, little things, maybe 10, 15,  sometimes 20 minutes, and they're different topics. So the first one that you're  going to listen to is by Seth Godin, how to get your ideas to spread. So he's  talking about. I mean, if you're going to do an enterprise, a product or service,  you have to spread that out. If you want to plant a church, whatever it is, you  have to somehow get what you're thinking to people. And I think you're going to  be inspired listening to this. Number two, this is a really good book, Malcolm  Gladwell, he wrote several other ones that have become quite popular. This one  is THE UNHEARD story of David and Goliath. And he talks about the technology of David versus Goliath, and then he applies it to enterprise. I think, you know,  with Christian background, this would be a fascinating listen TED Talk number  three, a life of purpose. Rick Warren wrote a book The Purpose Driven Life sold  millions of copies, and so I think you'll be inspired with his little talk about  purpose. Because behind enterprise, behind church, planting, all these things  that we've been talking about is this sense of purpose. TED Talk four on  technology and faith. I just love Billy Graham. Billy Graham, every time he has  something to say, it's worthwhile. He's he's quite a bit older now. This is one of  the later things that he does, one of the speeches that he gives. So it's Billy  Graham, later on in life, talking about techniques, looking at the future. He's  from, you know, the old school, the old days, and I think he has some really  important things to say as we go forward. And TED Talk number five, want to  help someone, help someone. Shut up and listen. And if you want to do ministry, if you want to do enterprise, you have to listen to what people are saying, what  they want, what they need, before supplying the answer. This is a guy who  worked all over the world. He came to Africa and he tried to help the Africans,  and he said, For 20 years, all we did is hurt them. Because we came in, we had  ideas of what they thought they needed. He's from Italy. They he they came in,  they taught him how to grow tomatoes, beautiful, lush, Italian tomatoes. And the  problem was people didn't want tomatoes. That was not they're not making  pasta. They're not living in Italy. And when they made these beautiful tomatoes,  is incredible, they were so proud of these tomatoes. And the one evening, the  hippos came in and ate them all. And so the people said, yeah, that's why we  don't plant tomatoes. So anyway, he's extremely funny, but I think you'll get a lot  out of this talk. And finally, TED Talk number six, should you live for your  resume, which is now get you hired, you know, make money now, or your 

eulogy, what people will say when you're gone. This is a really cool end. So I  want you to end with this one. It gets back to what is your grand purpose for  your life here on this earth. So I hope these things, as you listen to these things,  you apply all the things that we've been learning and growing and doing. I hope  you've learned a lot, but I want to leave you a little inspiration, so that you  actually don't just take this class, but you actually go out and do something
