Tish Harrison Warren Interrupts the Cultural Narrative
Let’s say you’ve written a book about a passion of yours. To you, and everyone else’s surprise, it’s a huge hit. Now, the thing you loved has become a “fad.” What do you do next?
Nothing new. For author and anglican priest, Tish Harrison Warren, it’s the unchanging tradition that makes liturgy disruptive.
In this conversation Tish and Esau talk about the remarkably life-changing (and life-stabilizing) ways that taking part in liturgical rhythms have saved them from themselves and disrupted the cultural scripts we live in.
Because when everything changes, you need something to stay the same.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Sho Baraka Evades the Evangelical Edit
Sho Baraka, a rapper and creative, came out of a Christian music scene that felt safe at best and restrictive at worst.
Sho felt an ever-present evangelical gaze looking over his shoulder, critiquing him and his work. Eventually, Sho decided it wasn’t worth the cost—of his creativity, of his hopes, of himself. But the more Sho poured himself into his work, the more he disrupted his career. His music became too controversial for Christian retail outlets and youth groups playlists.
In an attempt to evade the evangelical edit, Sho took on the responsibilities of a traditional record label himself. While personal branding and creative salesmanship may be problematic at times, for Sho, it was the natural, and only, next step.
Anyone can be a revolutionary, but you still gotta pay your bills.
