Things are pretty devastated right now. Society is broken in a manner that is comprehensively abysmal (the reality just hasn't sunk in yet), and the majority of the church is still playing with sticking plasters and the pretence that we can quietly 'just continue', making press statements about how 'good' people have been and how the troubles are pretty well over - what utter nonsense.
Some are looking for a far deeper and more genuine solution. As Jordan Peterson noted this week, the next phase after being released from slavery isn't paradise - it's the wilderness, where all we've known is gone, and we avoid the void by inventing new idols to venerate, because we're afraid to go deeper.
How do we draw from the well of salvation in a fashion that truly satisfies and heals?
Phil Sacre has begun a new series to explore just that, and the first part of that is a really excellent step back into what counts, so if you get an opportunity, sit down and take in what he's pointing to here - it's genuinely worth it.
