What Lasts?

In Rome and Florence, Jarred and I walked in and out of several different buildings and churches. We walked up and down the cobblestone streets lined with buildings. We saw buildings and structures and roadways that have been there for centuries!
The Roman Forum, where goods were traded and sold like a street market or fair, was built before Christ's time.
The Colosseum was finished in 80 AD. Over 2000 years! Almost back to Christ’s time on the earth!
And many other buildings and structures like Michaelangelo’s David which was finished in 1504 have been standing for centuries.
As Jarred and I were walking around and marveling at the structures, the stories, the history, all of it, I remember having a conversation about how they made things last. When the people built their buildings, they were meant to stand the test of time. They have been able to withstand weather, flooding, natural disasters, and all sorts of catastrophes through the years. And there I was, hundreds and thousands of years later, walking around and getting to see what was there.
I asked Jarred, what are we building that lasts? What are we building that we could leave our kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids?
Join this week's podcast as we talk about the 2 things I think last and matter:
- Knowledge
- Relationships
We will discuss how to nurture and make those things last!
