Why a Victim Mentality Is Cancerous to Personal Productivity
A victimhood mindset is antithetical to the gospel and to personal productivity. People who think of themselves as victims are trapped in a prison of their own mind, always waiting for someone to come save them. If you adopt a victimhood mindset, you will never get anywhere. This self-pitying mind trap must be destroyed whenever it rears its ugly head.

Christ-Centered, Practical advise in disciplining ourselves for Godliness
This Podcast has been a great help in thinking through the way in which the reality of the Gospel impacts the details of how we communicate and work. It matters how we get things done!
