The Pocket Contemplative

Where Are Churches Headed? (Part 2, with Vince Brackett)


Listen Later

In Part 1, we looked at how churches seem to be in the midst of a transition to something new. Here, Vince Brackett and Dave Schmelzer will take a deep dive into the thoughts of the big kahuna on this subject, Charles Taylor, and of his brilliant student, Hartmut Rosa. What if our world is set up to tell us that if we only had more resources we could have the life we want? And that our lack of resources is our fault--leading us to push and push and burn out. Taylor and Rosa think that's massively relevant to each of our lives and that churches fall under the same pressures, which, if unaddressed, will push them away from relevance. Dave and Vince discuss the profound hope that's at the heart of this.

Mentioned on this podcast:

Charles Taylor and his book A Secular Age

Hartmut Rosa, of whom a relevant book would be Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World
