To use a Kingsnorth image, we’re cooked barbarians/theologians and not raw. We use the technology in ways that help us resist its worse impulses because the platform makes it possible for us to meet and share in ways that we otherwise can’t.
Love the word on preaching. Curious to hear you all talk more on this sometime. Definitely with you on the way “practical” preaching dampens, can even kill, the theological.
Id add that it seems like part of what makes Bonhoeffer’s sermons so rich, are how existential they are as well.
Seems like “practical” vs “existential” can be a helpful distinction in the conversation.
Am I the only one here who sees the irony of this being posted on social media?

Say more about the distinction and how you find his preaching existential.
Always great hearing a conversation with Chris.
Thank you so much for having this conversation. So much to digest. Grateful for all three of you.
