Three reasons why you should listen to my conversation with Rachel Barenblat
1) She's a calm, deeply grounded presence. If you're panicked about all the change going on in our country right now, she'll help you take a deep breath.
2) If you're particularly anxious about Christian institutional decline, she speaks specifically to our concerns about: worship attendance, money, and graying congregations.
3) If you want a look at how a non-Christian tradition is teaching its young people to "shape the tradition with their own hands."
