We're taking a deeper dive into the culture we live in. We'll need three things: (1) An understanding of the culture we find ourselves in. (2) A sharp analysis of the cracks in the smooth, seemingly solid narrative that our culture tells us about what it means to live a good life. (3) A new imagination of what it looks like for the gospel of Christ to open up and thrive from within the cracks of our culture. This podcast comes from clergy and laypeople at Church of the Atonement in Buffalo, and St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church in Tonawanda, New York.

Before: In the city, Empty lots are Monuments To scarcity. The soil is cracked And scarred, Overgrown with weeds Who offer some kind Of green, But only takes away. Now: In the city, Gentle hands trained in Gospel abundance Of the country Are healing the soil, Kissing its scars, Breaking it open In new ways for, Greener, Generative kinds. *Poem was written by James Kibby…

The Jordan Peterson Phenomenon 1:16:10

vor 5 years1:16:10

1:16:10

In this episode, we talk about Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. Peterson rose to fame in 2016 with a resistance to progressive academic culture, lectures on the pscyhological significance of biblical stories, and the best-selling book "12 Rules for Life." Why are young people - especially young men - drawn to a scholar like this? We talk with Joseph, an atheist philosophy major who converted to Christianity. Joseph turned toward Christian faith, not in spite of, but because he was drawn more deeply into ideas and truth, and this path included a major influence by Peterson, who is not a Christian. Join us for this fascinating conversation about today's campus culture, critical theory, and a great conversion story.…

What's wrong with the nuclear family in the 21st century? What role does it play in the church and in the life of discipleship. We're continuing to seek a sacred world in a secular age, and today we're following up on a point made at the end of our last episode on Smartphones. Namely, how have we changed the way intergenerational relationships work over the years? What are we doing wrong that we're not even seeing? We're using a resource that made our heads turn immediately after recording the episode on smartphones: "The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake," by David Brooks. The Atlantic , March 2020.…

How does technology affect the life of faith and discipleship in the 21st century? Specifically, the use of mobile technology (Smartphones, wearable tech) makes our lives and minds a lot different than they were 15 years ago. What does this mean for us theologically? Practically? We'll engage in particular with two resources: 1. "Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?" by Jean Twenge. The Atlantic , Sep. 2017. 2. Faith for Exiles: 5 Ways for a New Generation to Follow Jesus in Digital Babylon , by David Kinnaman & Mark Matlock. (2019) This book recaps extensive statistical research by the Barna Group.…
