Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
What if our entire lives were affected by the outcome of a battle of the gods? Invisible "spirits" have always been on top of a hierarchy of culture dictating our entire way of life. From ancient Babylon to modern-day America, we'll explore the fascinating connection between the domain of "spirit" and how this spiritual realm is made manifest in our art, movies, music, economics & politics.
Plus:
-The connection between national flags and ancient idols
-Why early Christians didn't understand violent passages in the Old Testament the same way we usually do today
-Why American Jazz & Blues might actually be a perfect model for doing cultural theology
-The importance of getting exposed to other cultures & denominations in order to make sure you're aren't secretly worshipping other gods
