Send me a text! I’d love to know what you're thinking!
What happens when a couple of Hawaiian fisherman hit King Kamehameha over the head with a canoe paddle so hard that the paddle breaks? You get the Law of the Splintered Paddle.
THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- While on vacation in Hawaii, Markus came across a figure of King Kamehameha at a gift shop.
- Markus got curious about King Kamehameha, so he did some Google research.
- King Kamehameha is known for unifying the Hawaiian Islands about two hundred years ago.
- Markus tells the story of the Law of the Splintered Paddle.
- The Law of the Splintered Paddle, instituted by King Kamehameha was intended to protect the weak and powerless from predators.
- The Law of the Splintered Paddle and the way in which it was instituted, are a reflection of shalom—even though King Kamehameha was not a Christian.
- Where in your life do you see shalom emerging? How can you support it? Are you called to participate in it?
