Billy Sticker uses Jim Collins' business concept to argue that settling for good relationships stops you from reaching great ones. He says many people coast with occasional Bible reading and mediocre family dynamics, but God calls for deeper intimacy in marriage, parenting, and faith.
There's a book called Good to Great, and the author's name is Jim Collins, and it's a business book. And one of the things he says in there is the enemy of great isn't bad, the enemy of great is good. We don't have a great relationship with our spouse because we have a good relationship, so we don't have a great one. We don't have great relationships with our kids because we have a good one. And we get satisfied with good when God's called us to great. We don't have a great relationship with God because we're here, we read our Bible sometimes, we listen to worship every once in a while. So we have a good relationship instead of having a great relationship.
