Faith Revolution

I Have Learned…

…that reaching out to people by inviting them to participate in American Christian Pop Culture is not an effective means of bringing transformation. What is needed is a coherent, intelligent conversation that brings connection between the Creator of the universe and the people who live there in order to make sense out of life in that universe.

It seems that neither the church nor the academy is doing that effectively. I do have hope for the future, however.

The Hepburn Quote “Just being is fun”

But what about the pain?  The pain can be pretty extreme at times.  How can that statement be true in the darkest hours?

Coming up…

Katharine Hepburn:   “I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.”

“Just being is fun.”  Really?

I have been thinking about the possible truth of this concept for a while and I would like to wrestle with my thoughts and studies out loud a little bit in this forum.  I am going to leave comments open.  If you are so inclined, feel free to think about it yourself and chime in.  I love good conversation.

Until then…
