I am glad to see that Rob Bell is back at it with his new podcast. In the first episode of the new season he makes a bold assertion:
“Good” is often the enemy of great.

He challenges us:
What good things are we saying “yes” to in place of the few “great” things that we are called to do?
He uses the phrase “B-” to describe these activities. So what are your “B-” activities and commitments, those things that are good but not great? What are the things you have said “yes” to half-heartedly but don’t know how to quit? And what if it is all these good things that are eating up all your time?
