Mark Matlock at #d62012

Mark Matlock is wrapping up our afternoon at D6.  You can visit his website here.

His topic was "The Hero's Journey"
  •  Every story starts with the ordinary life.
  • Next, comes a call to action.
  • After the call to action, usually failure comes.
  • The mentor follows our failures.  What do they give?  Wisdom. A mentor helps the young hero connect to the Vine.
    • As you look at the life of our heroes (i.e. Star Wars, Spiderman, Batman), why are the parents most often absent?
    • Who else from the Body of Christ will be a mentor to your kids?
  • Trials occur 
  • Maturity
Mark used popular culture to illustrate the hero's journey.  This is a great option to keep us listening after a day packed full of ideas. Thankful for his creativity!
