We're taking a deeper dive into the culture we live in. We'll need three things: (1) An understanding of the culture we find ourselves in. (2) A sharp analysis of the cracks in the smooth, seemingly solid narrative that our culture tells us about what it means to live a good life. (3) A new imagination of what it looks like for the gospel of Christ to open up and thrive from within the cracks of our culture. This podcast comes from clergy and laypeople at Church of the Atonement in Buffalo, and St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church in Tonawanda, New York.

How Urban People Relate to the Land
Before:
In the city,
Empty lots are
Monuments
To scarcity.
The soil is cracked
And scarred,
Overgrown with weeds
Who offer some kind
Of green,
But only takes away.
Now:
In the city,
Gentle hands trained
in Gospel abundance
Of the country
Are healing the soil,
Kissing its scars,
Breaking it open
In new ways for,
Greener,
Generative kinds.

Family Catechesis
How do children relate to faith? What is our culture’s narrative? How does it fall apart? And what does it look like for the gospel to open up from within that secular culture?
We interview Danielle Hitchen from Catechesis Books. -
Ministering in a Conservative/Progressive Culture
Fr. Bryan ministers in a more progressive culture, within the city of Buffalo. Fr. Andrew ministers in a more conservative culture in Texas. How can we learn together how the gospel transcends these cultural forces and speaks the transformation of Jesus to all places?
The Reverends interview each other about the various challenges they face in reaching their respective communities, and share some of the ways that they're meeting those challenges with the Gospel.
