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.

Dr. Andy Root & Derek Tronsgard hash it out after some inspiration from the Amazon documentary "Generation Wealth".
So what does it mean to live the Good Life? And what does it mean for the Church?

Identity and the Thing
There are a lot of other things competing with the Church. Why are people choosing other "things" over church? Why is finding your thing in the Age of Authenticity so important? And how can the church respond to it all? Andy Root lays it all out in this week's episode.

Mr. Rogers, the Fyre Festival, and the Age of Authenticity
In the Age of Authenticity we get to choose our own identity. Mr. Rogers gets it. The Fyre Festival gets it. But does the Church get it? And what do we do when keeping up your identity is so exhausting?
