FGG-180 Well Known or Worth Knowing

We live in a time of instant stardom and notoriety.  People go from relative obscurity to fame overnight.  Whether it’s American Idol, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, a cable reality show, or an Instagram post that goes viral, someone is only a heartbeat away from being well known. In this podcast Tony asks, Well Known or Worth Knowing?

Quotes: “Worry not that no one knows of you; seek to be worth knowing.” –Confucius

“Seek To Be Worth Knowing Rather Than Be Well Known” – Anonym

Scripture: “He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”  –Matthew 22:37

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience” –Colossians 3:12

For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous by faith will live.” –Romans 1:17

Reflections: What is the difference between well-known and worth knowing? Which do you strive for? Why do you think that popularity has become the goal and not being a better person?
