Finally, a new podcast. You would think in between trying to find a new call, selling a house, and doing the HGTV home improvement thing, I could squeeze in more podcasting time!
In light of my son’s 18th birthday, here’s some reflections on reality show, YouTube, and the spiritual journey that might make me sound like a grumpy old man. I hope not. I do think that as digital life becomes more and more integrated to daily life in meatworld, its moving us back more quickly to authentic, face to face, person to person friendships and intimacy. Likewise, we want a God who is more than a name online but someone who can really touch us. However, what we are are calling reality on TV is more about debasement than humanization, so here are my thoughts on the whole thing.
Also, here is a new addition to every podcast – the featured congregation. Each podcast I will highlight a different congregation that I think is a great example of a group of Christians who are real about connecting with postmodern generations without becoming totally stuck on themselves about it.
This months featured congregation is Artisan Church in Rochester, NY. Here is the link to more of my thoughts on the good folks at Artisan.

Great Podcast! I despise reality television. I really do, it just makes people look bad, for other’s amusement.
