A New Kind of Christian

I spent some time over lunch with a friend who is about half-way through A NEW KIND OF CHRISTIAN by Brian MacLaren.

It was nostalgic and inspiring as his relief/excitement/confusion/anxiety upon “discovering” the post-modern shift brought me back to my first year of Redeemer when it was introduced to me in a worldview class.

He had a lot of questions (most of them were ones I still have…) and over lunch it was clear that God had started something unique in this person’s life.

My concluding counsel at the close of our time together was:  “you’re now falling down the rabbit hole…it’s exciting and scary at the same time; disturbing and comforting at once.  Enjoy the free-fall.”

Thank you God for moments that come to us as gifts, reminding us of our calling.
