Good afternoon, and happy Mother’s Day. I can’t help but think of this Mother’s Day being such a wonderful day here in Central Florida. When I was about to think what I was going to say today to inspire my audience, I couldn’t help but go back to Tim Tebow’s Iron Man sermon, which he was asked to give by coach John Fox of the Denver Broncos prior to their overtime win against the San Diego Chargers back in November of 2011.
But you think about that talk and what it meant. Tebow inspired his teammates to lead by example—of a fearless example. When you think about “iron sharpening iron, so one man sharpens another,” you think about exactly what that picture is. Its a picture of sparks flying, friction from the iron. We are called as human beings, by God, to sharpen each other and in a marriage relationship like I have with my wife, we have a fearless thought about how we engage with each other. Sometimes sparks fly, but we’re made better people as a result of our fearlessness in engaging each other to make each other better. So, we should do the same in the workplace. It’ll make us better colleagues, better advisors, and better people.
So in the end, going forward past this COVID-19 crisis, think about that call to sharpen each other as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another, and we all become better for it.
Have a great day.
