I’ve been e-mailing with a good friend who now classifies himself as a recovering evangelical after spending 30 years in the church and raising three sons. My friend is mature, godly and knowledgeable. He is not a young reactionary – he is responding to the failure of our American version of church. As I read […]

I remember when I was in school (even grad school) how important Christmas Break was to my emotional health! I always went into the break burned out, and then after a little skiing and movie watching I would come back fresh and excited. The staff at Antioch has been driving pretty hard for a while
