Winter is coming
Mon, Jun 01, 2020
The three wise men at Praxis – Andy Crouch, Kurt Keilhacker, and Dave Blanchard – warned us about the incoming winter during this year’s spring break.Â
They explained why the COVID-19 climate could be a weekend blizzard, a season of winter, or an ice age indeed! You can catch their weather report here, but the summary is that we could be headed for a:
Blizzard: A hunkered weekend experience where we expect to be back to normal in a few days
Winter: A hibernating season where we expect to be back to normal in a few months
Ice age: A holistic climate change where we move on to a new/next normal forever
Praxis has really helped communicate these possibilities with meaningful analogies.
By putting words and seasons to the implications of an unknown disease, these analogies are helping translate COVID-19 to a language we know and a season we can prepare for.
One good analogy is worth three hours of discussion.
Takeaway
- Which of the three options do you think you are headed for?
- How are you communicating this current climate to your community?
