Where I Spend My Time

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Recently a Christian leadership website emailed me and asked for me to share what I've been reading, watching, listening to and surfing on the web. I'm not sure if they thought that young Christian leaders would like to see and emulate what I'm doing, or take note of what not to do as a horrible leader. Either way I've always enjoyed seeing what other leaders read and watch to stay culturally current, so here's what I shared...

What I’m Tivo-ing:
The Daily Show with John Stewart
Lost
American Idol
The Tonight Show with Jay leno
The Nightly News with Brian Williams
Prison Break
The Office

What I’ve recently downloaded to my iPOD:
The Killers – Hot Fuss
Bob Marley and the Whalers -- Various
B.B. King & Eric Clapton – Riding with the King
The Dave Ramsey Show podcasts
Andy Stanley podcasts

The last 5 websites I’ve surfed:
