The Church Lobby Ep 037: Seculosity: Ministry In The Era Of Secular Religion, with David Zahl
Karl Vaters interviews David Zahl, author of Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What to Do about It.
In this episode, Karl and David have a wide-ranging conversation about how the religious landscape has changed in our culture, but not in the ways you may have thought. According to David, we haven’t become less religious, but the objects of our worship and the rituals and rules around that worship have changed from vertical to horizontal.
If you are a church leader, this episode will help you get a handle on some of the confusing shifts in attitude and behavior that may be frustrating you as you attempt to lead a congregation.
In this episode, we narrow in on the subjects of:
• Busyness
• Parenting
• Politics
• Jesusland
and how each of them may be playing themselves out in disruptive but subconscious ways in our lives and congregations.
