No. 031 — Durgan Maxey (un)COMMON PEOPLE
-
- Diarios personales
A good friend of mine recently invited me to celebrate the 4th of July with her family. And even though I didn’t stay long enough to watch any fireworks (something I’m not actually fond of in any case), I can confidently say that it was the best American Independence Day that I’ve yet experienced. Great company, conversation, food and fun.
One of the people with whom I struck up conversation during the course of the evening was a man named Durgan Maxey, who I had met only very briefly prior to this wonderful party. Durgan and I began talking, and discussed his work, his business endeavors, his family, and much more. Before too long the two of us were diving straight into some recent personal struggles that Durgan and his wife had been working through, and the evolution of his thoughts around “church,” faith and fellowship. As I stood and listened I knew this was someone I wanted to talk with more.
Not long after the 4th Durgan showed up at my place in his little Toyota van and we sat down with a couple mugs of tea and had a chat. From running to AI relationships, to Francis Chan and F3, this conversation spanned an interesting swath of material, and I was blessed and encouraged by it. Durgan is truly a kind soul, and an intentional conversationalist to boot. If you never get a chance to talk with him yourself, I hope you will at least take the opportunity to listen to this conversation that I got to have with him.
