Recovering Our Creative Calling
Andy Crouch
In 'Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling,' Andy Crouch argues that Christians must reclaim their role as creative cultivators of culture. The book explores the complexities of how culture works, the dynamics of cultural change, and the importance of both producing cultural artifacts and making sense of the world around us. Crouch draws on biblical exposition to demonstrate that creating culture is central to the scriptural narrative, the ministry of Jesus, and the call to the church. The book is divided into three sections: Culture, Gospel, and Calling, and includes practical insights and tools for cultural cultivation, as well as guided questions for reflection and discussion.
You could call Andy Crouch an author. You could also call him a former editor of Christianity Today. Or even a Partner for Theology and Culture at Praxis (which he still is). And on good days you could call him a connoisseur of Bach piano sonatas. Today on the pod he joins the fellas to discuss the challenges of parenting in a tech-filled lifestyle, why sabbaticals are essential, and how to manage quality time with your kids.
