Dan Darling brings a perspective on curation we haven’t heard before, in a completely different realm: religion. It’s fascinating to learn about how he curates ideas and stories for his sermons, how he would curate the Bible for beginners, his thoughts on what Jesus would curate, and more.
“The best preachers are able to say, here's this timeless principle — like humility or forgiveness or racial reconciliation — and then look around and say, ‘In what areas are our people uniquely challenged to live by this principle?’ That's where the curation comes in, where you're reading the news and trying to find the pressure points where people are struggling and really press in there.” — Dan Darling
