Following Jesus in the You Do You Era: Ep1

Following Jesus in the You Do You Era.

Season 3 is here!

Be true to yourself...
Follow your heart...
Be authentic to yourself...
Live your best life...
You are the captain of your fate...
Chart your own path...
Walk your own way...
Live your life for yourself...

Friends-  Welcome to the You Do You Era: Where listening to your own voice above all others, and expressing yourself in whatever way you want (as long as it doesn't hurt anybody and is authentic) is the most vital way of being human.

But this weight - of choosing our own path and being given so much individual independence to curate my identity - is too much for us to bear.

Throughout this season, we  want to remove the cultural scales from our eyes using insight from:
Alan Noble (You are Not your Own)
Andrew Root (Ministry in the Secular Age series)
Alan Ehrenberg (Diagnosing the History of Depression in the Contemporary Age)
Charles Taylor (A Secular Age)
Andy Crouch (The Tech-Wise Family)
Leonard Sax (The Collapse of Parenting)
All of Jean Twenge's (SDSU) recent interviews / articles / and her books
James K.A. Smith's books and articles
N.T. Wright (The Day the Revolution Began among others)
Alasdair MacIntyre (After Virtue)
 The New and Old Testaments... plus other works that we sprinkle throughout.
