What HBO’s “Girls” Gets Right About Sex and Intimacy

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 7:56 am By Amy Lepine Peterson

In HBO’s “Girls,” currently wrapping up its second season, 26 year old writer, director, and actor Lena Dunham offers a refreshing – if sometimes painful to watch – view of female sexuality. Unlike the glossy, airbrushed twentysomethings who headline most sitcoms, Dunham cuts a disheveled, average-sized figure – and she’s not afraid to bare it. In the search for intimacy and connection, Dunham’s Hannah Horvath is willing to try almost anything with almost any specimen of man. Despite the amount... Read more

Each Tuesday in Music Matters, Matthew Linder explores the intersections of music, culture and faith. “It’s funny how most people love the dead, once you’re dead you’re made for life.” – Jimi Hendrix People, Hell and Angels, the final posthumously released album from Jimi Hendrix, debuted on the Billboard 200 at the number two spot.

The Kiddy Pool: The Monster in the Mirror

Last updated on: March 18, 2013 at 7:31 pm By Erin Wyble Newcomb

Every week in The Kiddy Pool, Erin Newcomb confronts one of many issues that parents must deal with related to popular culture. Beware the monster in the mirror; it might just be you. My little one loves to look at her reflection. Few things make her light up like looking at herself. If she gets to a place where there are low mirrors (like the children’s museum or the kids’ space at the library or a nasty public bathroom), she... Read more

Rob Bell on Gay Marriage: Why the Church Can’t Follow

Last updated on: March 18, 2013 at 2:18 pm By Brad Williams

Rob Bell is back in the news lately. He has a new book (CaPC review forthcoming!), in which he teaches that there are ways of speaking about God that are going to go the way of the Oldsmobile. Apparently, one of the things that is going to fall by the wayside is the church’s opposition to homosexual marriage. “That ship has sailed,” says Rob Bell recently. Bell may be correct. At least, he is correct that the evangelical conservative political machine... Read more

Two Years Ago, Best Buds Debated Rob Bell and His Message

Last updated on: March 18, 2013 at 2:18 pm By Richard Clark

Two years ago, we had two good friends who were diametrically opposed to one another on the issue of Rob Bell, his book, and his ministry use Christ and Pop Culture as a venue to discuss their thoughts and concerns. What resulted was a dialogue about Rob Bell’s Love Wins that stood out from other reactions on either side. It was thoughtful, fair, civil, and illuminating. From the introductory editor’s note I wrote back then: Christ and Pop Culture writer, Ben... Read more
