Project Runway Season 11 and the Individual Talent: Is Fashion Really a Team Sport?

Last updated on: January 31, 2013 at 10:07 pm By Geoffrey Reiter

Last Thursday marked the season 11 premiere of Lifetime’s popular reality TV fashion series Project Runway. This season, however, viewers have been promised a new twist: While the series will still have only one champion, every design challenge leading up to the finale will be, in some way, a team challenge. All designers on the winning team will retain immunity from elimination, and only designers from the winning team will be eligible to win that week’s competition. Surely, then, one... Read more

When God Is a Woman

Last updated on: January 31, 2013 at 10:01 pm By Faith Newport

A Galilean carpenter once famously said that the way we treat those who are the least among us is the way we treat our God (Matthew 25:31-36). It’s something Christians have taken to heart in the many years since, something we hold true in a way that is more than just symbolic. We believe that the way we love God is by loving other human beings—especially victims of injustice and oppression: the least of these. In our world today, however,... Read more

Frequently Searched Questions: Bruce Wayne Depression

Last updated on: February 1, 2013 at 8:53 am By Alan Noble

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn’t find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms. This week’s theme is nothing really just a bunch of bizarre search terms. Q 1. Elf on the shelf plush do it move? It do, it do. When you... Read more

Social Networking Your Food and the Joy of Sharing Prosaic Pleasures

Last updated on: January 31, 2013 at 2:09 pm By Jewel Evans

I work in the food industry. I’m a barista at a local coffee shop in the city where my husband and I live. I’ve been a barista for about five years and I love what I do. Part of the joy of my job is something called free-pour latte art. And it’s been within the last year that latte art has been possible for me to achieve. I can pour a simple rosetta on the surface of the latte, a... Read more

The Moviegoer: Zero Dark Thirty and the Question of “Real Tradecraft”

Last updated on: February 9, 2013 at 6:48 pm By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. During a typical urgency-inducing CIA staff meeting, a leading operative named George (Mark Strong) is delivering one of his characteristically blow-hard speeches meant to incite his team of intelligence gatherers to a more precise persistence. In a memorable, if seemingly insignificant, moment, he makes a remark to the other operatives that characterizes the nature of much of the war on terror, even if, in the moment, it had a...

Cult of Personality: The Unchristian Rhetoric of Christian Tribalism

Last updated on: January 31, 2013 at 8:18 am By Nick Rynerson

Last month, I read a helpful post from pastor Kevin DeYoung on the state of Christian publishing. The post itself was great, and I, like DeYoung, am thankful for the improved quality of (most) cover art and the astounding amount of resources available. But two of DeYoung’s unfortunately true observations seem to point to a bigger problem in contemporary Christendom: tribalism. DeYoung notes: 4. Too many books are derivative in nature. They quote the same books, cover the same ground,... Read more

Major Key ‘Losing My Religion’ Is Majorly Lame

Last updated on: January 30, 2013 at 10:40 pm By Matthew Linder

Last week, Nick Rynerson brought to our attention a Christianized version of Leonard Cohen’s classic, “Hallelujah,” calling Marvin Olasky’s rewrite “a total buzzkill,” “worrisome,” and “completely untrue to the human condition.” Not to be undone, Major Scaled TV has taken REM’s song of lost love and obsession, “Losing My Religion,” and turned it on its head. Familiar, yet foreign and unsettling, this major key version of the REM classic loses any sense of grief and suffering. The change in tonality whitewashes... Read more

Why I Won’t Wear Yoga Pants in Public

Last updated on: January 30, 2013 at 10:39 pm By Lauren Rambo

My daughter and I go to Whole Foods from time to time to get free samples of their deliciously overpriced fare. We go on weekdays in the morning, when other stay-at-home moms are out and about with their children. I usually don’t refer to myself as a stay-at-home mom; when people ask what I do for a living, I tell them I’m “taking a hiatus.” Now that hiatus may turn into 50 years of joblessness, but I don’t care. I... Read more
