episode 65: Knowing When to Quit

Craig and Cody connect for a shorter episode to discuss two topics in particular:

• The recent wave of retirements in the world of professional athletics (headlined by Tom Brady) prompts Cody to ask: When do you know it’s time to quit? We don’t leave the discussion in the realm of sports—we talk about careers, ministry, and relationships.

• The conversation naturally flows to the popular topic of deconstruction. While both hosts are pro deconstruction, both notice a couple troublesome aspects that can suck the life and positive intent out of deconstruction: 1. marketing/capitalizing on it as a trend; and 2. getting frozen in deconstruction as a “calling card,” rather than building anything new from the rubble.
