Homebrewed Culture Podcast, Episode #1

Last updated on: August 10, 2012 at 11:15 pm By Christian Piatt

I was pretty stoked when Tripp Fuller asked Jordan Green and me if we’d be interested in adding our own unique spin on the Homebrewed Christianity brand to the growing Homebrewed family. Naturally we said yes! Our mission is to talk up the intersection of faith, popular culture and current events from a Christian perspective, all while balancing balls on our noses…well, all except for the last bit. Anyhow, check out our debut episode, where we chat with Kevin Miller, Director,... Read more

Flash Mob Ministry: A New Model for Instant Church

Last updated on: August 8, 2012 at 6:11 pm By Christian Piatt

Blaine is the kind of young man who seems to have been born for church camp. He has a permanent smile on his face, loves to lead goofy songs and has an easy way about him that makes others want to hang out with him. I met him on a final leg of his summer-long trek with Disciples Peace Fellowship to tour and take part in nine or so church camps around the country. One trademark of church camp music, in...

Sikh Calls for Peace Reminiscent of Amish Shooting Response

Last updated on: August 7, 2012 at 6:29 pm By Christian Piatt

I, like most people, was deeply troubled by news of another mass shooting, this time at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, just outside of Milwaukee. This, on the heels of the tragic massacre in Aurora, Colorado, seemed all the more savage to me, given that it took place in a house of worship. Maybe it’s just because my wife and I work in a church and are aware of such vulnerabilities every day, but my first reaction is... Read more

Jesus Phelps: Why Miracles Aren’t Enough

Last updated on: August 3, 2012 at 4:53 pm By Christian Piatt

I was fascinated by Jesus’ miracles as a kid. I pictured him alongside the Green Lantern and Batman stickers, adorning my canary yellow toy box. There he’d be, fists on his hips, a giant, red “J” on his chest and his long, blond locks, flowing in the wind. It’s Super-Jesus! The older I’ve gotten, the more circumspect I am about the nature of miracles and what they mean in the context of faith. I’m not in a place where I’m... Read more

Are the Culture Wars Real? A Case for Heresy

Last updated on: August 2, 2012 at 5:27 pm By Christian Piatt

Growing up, I heard things at camp and in youth group about how “the world” thought and acted one way, and how “we” were not like that. In fact the world, it seemed, was intent on unraveling everything I valued as good and true, leaving me with a smoldering pile of ideals and beliefs, all dead oat the point of a secular sword. It was our job as Christians not only to defend against this frontal attack, but also to... Read more

God Loves Losers: Reflections on the Olympics

Last updated on: August 1, 2012 at 8:57 pm By Christian Piatt

I’m an Olympics junkie. Not only that, but I’m also most ardently pro-American when watching them. My wife, Amy, and I were watching synchronized platform diving two nights ago (honestly, when else would we do that??) and she said she was kind of pulling for the team from Mexico to medal, even though it might mean pushing the Americans out of the running. “What the hell are you talking about?’ I said, more than a little incredulous. “We win so much already,” she...

Billy Graham: Punish America or Apologize to Sodom & Gomorrah

Last updated on: July 30, 2012 at 4:46 pm By Christian Piatt

The following is from a letter by Billy Graham posted recently on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website: Some years ago, my wife, Ruth, was reading the draft of a book I was writing. When she finished a section describing the terrible downward spiral of our nation’s moral standards and the idolatry of worshiping false gods such as technology and sex, she startled me by exclaiming, “If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” She...
