Jeremy Haroldson explores key principles of personal motivation and social responsibility through the lens of ancient wisdom from Matthew 9:35-38. This lecture reveals why many people experience apathy and how to find your unique mission that leads to real change in the world.
Inclusive Action Model: Reaching ALL – The text emphasizes the word "all" three times for a reason. Effective leaders don't choose only the "select few" — they go to ALL communities (not just the elite or marginalized), share key ideas, provide help, and improve lives. Why does "all" matter? Because true mission isn't exclusive — it's for everyone ready to embrace change.
The Field of Social Needs Today – "The results are plentiful, but the agents of change are few." This reality hasn't changed. At a dance recital with 300+ people, the question arose: "How many of them live with clear purpose and active social responsibility?" The honest answer: not many. The world still needs people willing to take responsibility for positive change.
Overcoming Two Barriers – Two critical mistakes prevent productivity: (1) Being stuck in the past without vision for the future, or (2) Being so future-focused that we forget people need real, practical impact NOW. It's not enough to simply "include everyone" — people must consciously choose active participation and change in their lives.
Your Personal Mission – This lecture focuses on the urgency of action and finding your unique role. Jeremy Haroldson examines common psychological barriers, emphasizing that true self-actualization requires ALL people (not just 20%) to be active participants in change. Regardless of your leadership type — visionary, analyst, communicator, mentor, or organizer — you have a unique role in creating positive impact.
The 80/20 Myth – A common mistake: thinking only 20% of people should do 80% of the work. When people truly understand their value and potential for impact, nothing will stop them from maximum productivity. They will feel "great, overwhelming urgency to act while there is still time."
Key Principle: Matthew 9:35-38
"He went through all the towns and villages, teaching, proclaiming key ideas, and providing help in all areas of life. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were exhausted and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said, 'The field of needs is vast, but agents of change are few. Call on those who can organize to send more agents into this field of opportunity."
