God of Noise, God Who Moves: Finding God in Ministry Transition [David Kludt]

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By David Kludt

My neighborhood in Hollywood was one of the noisiest places I’ve ever been. Our little house was situated halfway between Hollywood and Sunset – two of the major thoroughfares providing the constant rush of traffic across Northeast Los Angeles. Directly across the street from us was a hospital parking garage with two sets of heavy traffic spikes. At shift change, a rapid series of metallic clunks peppered into our windows as cars pulled out of the garage. Three hospitals within... Read more

On Focus and Freedom: A Traditional Church Embarks on the Missional Journey [KrisAnne Swartley]

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By KrisAnne Swartley

The story of how I came to do what I currently do, where I do it, still fascinates me. I love it when people ask, how did you end up at Doylestown Mennonite Church and what is your role there? What does it mean to be “pastor for the missional journey” or “missional pastor?” I love telling the story because I have never encountered a congregation who has done what this one has, and I’m about as immersed in the...

A God in the Dirt [Andrew Arndt]

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Scott Emery

The following is a guest post by Andrew Arndt for The Antioch Session. One of the first places we meet the God revealed in Scripture is in a garden. The writer of Genesis records, in an anthropomorphism sure to awaken scorn from the philosopher or religious historian, “Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day” (Gen 3:8). God, the Cosmos-Shaper, the High... Read more

Of Monsters and Mars: How Brian Zahnd is Saving Evangelical Faith (A Review)

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag

It would be a mistake to call Brian Zahnd’s new book, A Farewell to Mars, “a book about pacifism.” It would be an even bigger mistake to call it “a book about Christian pacifism.” Brian says as much when he clarifies that he doesn’t claim the pacifist label at all. He is not a pacifist but a Christian – a follower of Jesus, including Jesus’s radical and very political ideas (Ch. 1). In other words, the gospel of peace shouldn’t be thought... Read more

The Personal and Pointed Challenge of Benjamin Corey’s “Undiluted” (A Review)

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag

I just got finished reading Benjamin Corey’s new book Undiluted: Rediscovering the Radical Message of Jesus. And I loved it. I especially loved the way that Ben approached a somewhat familiar topic – the way that the teaching and life of Jesus in the Gospels corrects American cultural Christianity – in an unfamiliar way. That is, Ben’s approach is both personal and pointed. Personal, in the sense that the book emerges from Ben’s own spiritual journey in seminary and through... Read more

Embodied Creatures: Non-Verbal Communication, Power, and Communion [Scott Emery]

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Scott Emery

Ours is a world immersed in sound. We are both enthused and mesmerized by the cacophonous cocoon seemingly keeping us warm and safe. In our earbuds, in our bedrooms, in our cars: sound both follows us and is produced by us with a rabid tenacity. Some of it is self-inflicted. Some of it is forced upon us. Regardless, it has become ubiquitous. Akin to many cultural assumptions, sound is believed to be good based on its pervasiveness. Generally speaking, sound... Read more

CharismaNews Posts Islamophobic Hate Speech: A Betrayal of Christian Identity [Brian Zahnd]

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag

This is a guest post for the Antioch Session by Brian Zahnd. Brian’s bio is at the bottom. Friday afternoon I read an opinion piece entitled “Why I Am Absolutely Islamaphobic” by Gary Cass posted on the CharismaNews website. After considerable backlash, the post was thankfully removed tonight (just minutes ago, in fact). It is, however, still posted on Cass’s organization’s site. It is such an horrendous piece of hate-speech and fear-mongering that at first I assumed it was a satirical piece... Read more

How Does Christianity Deal with Death? [Jonathan Murden]

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 2:21 pm By Zach Hoag

This is a guest post for the Antioch Session by Jonathan Murden. His bio is at the bottom. One day, we’re all going to die. That got your attention, didn’t it? One day, our warm bodies, these organisms throbbing with life, all flesh and bone and beating blood, will be cold and still. One day, we will lie as if sleeping as they shovel the dirt on top of us. We will rot and decay and the worms will eat... Read more
