Listen "Instinct #3—Ambition: A Promised Land Lost"
Episode Synopsis
Shakespeare described the third stage of man as a warrior, quick to quarrel, given to strange oaths, and determined to change the world. He is a man of ambition. But ambition can be a perplexing experience. One minute, ambition swells us with a sense of divine calling and optimism, the next it leaves us discouraged and disillusioned. Nowhere is that experience more clear than in the life of Moses.
Moses's life was driven by ambition, by both its success and failure. Moses helps us understand the full range of ambition's drive. And Moses also helps us learn why rest is critical to checking ambitions pursuit. Far from a life hack to gain more productivity, Sabbath is a tool for perspective, a tool for limiting ambition's control.
