Brett Johnson discusses the importance of leading from one's identity in Christ rather than from titles or qualifications. He argues that Christians often falsely separate ("dichotomize") aspects of their lives rather than integrating their faith into all areas. This dichotomization decreases understanding and integrity. Instead, Christians should pursue integration and be the same person in both their private and public lives so that God can be made known in all spheres.

Editor's Notes
- “I am not superstitious, touch wood… and I am not religious, thank God”
- The mind-body dichotomy is the view that "mental" phenomena are, in some respects, "non-physical" (distinct from the body). In a religious sense, it refers to the separation of body and soul (Paul, Letter to the Romans 7:25; 8:10). The mind-body dichotomy is the starting point of Dualism, and became conceptualized in the form known to the modern Western world in René Descartes' philosophy, though it also surfaced in pre-Aristotelian concepts[1] and in Avicennian philosophy.[2] This view of reality may lead one to consider the corporeal as little valued[1] and trivial. The rejection of the mind-body dichotomy is found in French Structuralism, and is a position that generally characterized post-war French philosophy.[3] The absence of an empirically identifiable meeting point between the non-physical mind and its physical extension has proven problematic to dualism and many modern philosophers of mind maintain that the mind is not something separate from the body.[4] These approaches have been particularly influential in the sciences, particularly in the fields of sociobiology, computer science, evolutionary psychology and the various neurosciences.
- The essence of the secular-sacred dichotomy: some things are spiritual, and some things are not. Some things are more spiritual than others, and things done for God are more spiritual.
