Daniel Padrnos, Executive Field Director for First Things Foundation and previously a Field Worker in Sierra Leone comes on for an honest take at what deep cultural immersion does to you. Daniel spent 2 years living and working in Sierra Leone, sometimes in the capital, but mostly in the remote village of Kailahun. During that time he underwent a profound change which he discusses.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
