What I learned from Phil Vischer
I recently had some time to read “Me, Myself & Bob” by Phil Vischer. If you don’t know who Phil is, he’s the creator of the popular children’s video series ‘VeggieTales’. If you grew up in any sort of churched background, chances are you probably have a seen a couple of his creations from time to time. And if you didn’t grow up in a churched background, chances are that you’ve probably still seen or at least heard of them. That’s how big they are.
Now, if you don’t know the story of the collapse of ‘VeggieTales’, let me fill you in.

I asked my friend Andrew Mason to write down some thoughts that have been going through his head lately. Andrew is Bay Shore Community Church’s media ninja and a also apart of the 8Bit team. Check out what he wrote. He’s a smart dude
“The Curse of Knowledge” at Work
What’s the Big Deal?
You may not even be aware of it yet, but there is a horrible curse lurking dormant within the walls of our churches & businesses. I don’t care if you’ve been working or volunteering for five minutes or five years…..It’s attacks everywhere.
And the longer it goes unaddressed? The worse it gets. ….And the scary part is….It’s glaringly obvious to everyone. Everyone but you & me.
It’s the “curse of knowledge”.
Now wait a sec! How could more knowledge possibly be a bad thing? Don’t we want as many people as possible to be “in the know?”
Definitely. And that’s the problem.
This nasty curse surfaces when we assume other people know what we know already.
And this happens……ALL THE TIME.
