@KenJaworowski@NekoCase@bandofhorses@LordHuron@BethanyCoast I listened to Lost in the Dream when I was writing my first book, esp the song Under the Pressure, literally hundreds of times. I think it's b/c at some point the lyrics fade back and you're just sort of in the zone.
“I’d tack on that the scandal of the Christian aesthetic is that there has become no Christian aesthetic. And without gutsy people writing and making music and art, there can’t be a new Christian counter-culture.”

If you are looking for hope amid a crumbling or combusting faith, this book by @hellobillups for you.
It’s a no-BS, honest-to-God treatment of Jesus in the face of all the crap, all the fake glitter, and all the bitter disappointments with those who confess his name.

ORPHANED BELIEVERS. If the church is going to find renewal, it must tend to the ones orphaned by the evangelicalism's failures of the past twenty years. This book by Sara Billups might be a good place to start. Check out this quick review by @ERBks
