De-Motivating Brothers

A few years back some of my friends at Gracepoint Berkeley gave a birthday gift to our beloved Pastor Ed Kang based upon the commonly seen inspirational motivators found in office suites and classrooms across America. However, in our attempt to come up with such motivators to inspire Pastor Ed and his wife Kelly Kang (as we envisioned these posters hung prominently in the halls of Gracepoint and in the pastoral offices) we ended up doing some soul searching when we realized how truly challenging of an undertaking this was going to be particularly if we were going to be the subjects of motivation. But I am thankful for this process because through it we discovered a knack for other means of encouraging our pastor. Over the years we have honed this gift of ours because in the end, we discovered blessings and encouragement can take on different faces, and in that sense we have truly been a source of blessing for many!
