What Googler's and Elevators Have in Common

The lead staff read this article together the other day and it was VERY good!

It's about the culture of Google written by employees at Google. It was really exciting reading the article because in a very non-spiritual way there were some striking similarities between the way they think and the way we (all of us that would call ourselves Elevators) think.

A quote from the article: "The attitude is to pursue ideas that another company dismisses as outside the realm of possibility." - Niniane Wang (Engineering Manager).

Maybe you don't see it, but when I read that quote I feel like Niniane has been spying on us!

Here are some examples:

Grinders and 50 gallon barrels at Easter.

Worship CD and cool T-shirt for First Time Guests.

Spontaneous Baptisms.

launching a new service in 26 days so that our Butler Campus will still be able to reach people beginning January 11, 2009.

We never start with the question, "What's possible?" instead we ask, "What's the best case scenario?" and then we do everything we can to try to achieve that scenario.

If you don't...well that's fine too. I just can't kick the phrase, "I despaired at the thought that my life might pass me by without God moving mightily on my behalf." - Jim Cymbala, Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire
