Why Prayer Feels Weird

New Time Religion is back from Summer Vacation! In today's world prayer can feel awkward, weird, and disjointed.  Turns out there's a reason - and it's called the "immanent frame". Dr. Andrew Root and Derek Tronsgard talk about what the immanent frame is, how it shapes our world, and why prayer is just the thing to bring back some meaning and mystery to our lives. www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion www.newtimereligion.org

Wealth, Fame, and the Good Life

What does it mean to live the Good Life?  Is it wealth?  Fame? Recognition? Or something else entirely?

So what does it mean to live the Good Life?  And what does it mean for the Church? www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion www.newtimereligion.org

Mr. Rogers, the Fyre Festival, and the Age of Authenticity
