Words that Fudge: Reality and why the Resurrection is so Important
For as important a word as Reality is it is terribly fudgy. The dictionary definitions of it are poor. It's terribly hard to pin down. What is most real is that which colonizes. So this will get us into simulation theory and also the idea of gospels and the resurrection.
We've been watching the transformation of Job from depressed atheist through Jordan Peterson phenom to church membership as an atheist to leadership in the Discord server to possibilities of leadership in his local church. Job's been very transparent about this whole process.
I thought it would be fun to sit down with Rod Hugen from The Village in Tuscon, John Van Donk from Crosspoint in Southern CA, and myself just for a fun chat. Job wanted to use the time to reflect on how the strange events of the Jordan Peterson phenomenon have changed our lives over the last two years with my videos and the meetups we've started. I thought it was a great topic so why not. This is where the conversation went.
Rod Hugen can be found at The Village on Tucson http://www.villagersonline.com/
John Van Donk hosts meetups https://www.meetup.com/Jordan-Peterson-Inland-Empire-Meetup/
Job is easily found in the comments or on the Discord server (see link below)

Outer court ministry
What I'm personally very interested in, gentlemen -- is how each of you has been experiencing this movement over the last two years. What have you found? Where do you think it is going? What role should you play? What role might the church play?

More socially acceptable of being atheists
Depression and the grand search for meaning

@ContraPoints had a masterpiece of a video on Envy. Wow. Amazing. https://youtu.be/aPhrTOg1RUk A Lesbian transwoman working through anger and frustration in social media at the good that is unattainable. I was amazed how perceptive she was throughout but when it comes finally to any hope she has little to offer.
Followed up with the Rest is History talking about deColonization. Here again some longing for an ancient past which can only be seen through the eyes of the colonizers. It is the hagiographic impulse but finally frustrated. All our dreams are Christian dreams but the arms of the secular are always too short. https://pca.st/6iqgfb14
