He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics and intersectionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and a weaponization of identity, both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal&#8211;and, as Murray shows, the casualties are mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers of all political persuasions cannot afford to ignore Murray&#8217;s masterfully argued and fiercely provocative book, in which he seeks to inject some sense into the discussion around this generation&#8217;s most complicated issues. He ends with an impassioned call for free speech, shared common values and sanity in an age of mass hysteria.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NATIONAL REVIEW: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/magazine\/2019\/11\/11\/douglas-murrays-the-madness-of-crowds-offers-sanity-and-hope\/\">Douglas Murray\u2019s\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/magazine\/2019\/11\/11\/douglas-murrays-the-madness-of-crowds-offers-sanity-and-hope\/\">The Madness of Crowds<\/a><\/strong><\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/magazine\/2019\/11\/11\/douglas-murrays-the-madness-of-crowds-offers-sanity-and-hope\/\">\u00a0Offers Sanity and Hope<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NATIONAL REVIEW: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2019\/10\/douglas-murray-book-the-madness-of-crowds-gender-race-and-identity\/\">An Interview with Douglas Murray: Gender, Race, and Identity<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whatever Happened to the Sunday Evening Service?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Whatever Happened to the Evening Service?\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TbkQUSJXQI0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Alistair Begg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/92420-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/92420-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/92420-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/92420-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/92420.jpg 1880w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Meet the Minnie Church | PHOTO CREDIT: Christianity Today<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CT:  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/ct\/2019\/november\/microchurch-disney-world-cast-member.html\">Meet the Minnie Church<\/a><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>What happens when you plant a church only for Walt Disney World employees? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Walt Disney World has almost 70,000 employees\u2014a population about the size of Canton, Ohio. It\u2019s the largest single-site employer in the country. At 40 square miles, it\u2019s about as big as Miami or San Francisco. So Cast Member Church is fishing in a massive lake. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cast Member Church is truly a church for Disney Cast Members. It\u2019s not a church to attend on vacation. It\u2019s not a church for Disney fans in Central Florida. It\u2019s a church for a certain kind of employee from one company. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At a church leaders\u2019 meeting at the Disney Springs Starbucks, Barr is sketching out his evangelistic methodology (literally sketching it: He carries a yellow legal pad and is constantly drawing diagrams to illustrate his points.). He talks about getting people to understand that they are a \u201cchild of the king, which means we are princes and princesses. We should glory in that identity.\u201d He talks about Disneyland artist Charles Boyer\u2019s famous riff on Norman Rockwell self-portrait, where Mickey Mouse looks into the mirror and sees Walt Disney. \u201cMickey sees his creator in the mirror: God\u2019s desire is that when people look at you, they see him.\u201d Don\u2019t debate people if they\u2019re skeptical, he says. \u201cIf they say, \u2018I don\u2019t believe that,\u2019 just respond, \u2018That\u2019s okay, just imagine with me for a minute that it\u2019s true.\u2019 Disney [Cast Members] love imagination.\u201d One of the biggest challenges in people understanding the gospel, Barr says, is the challenge in many Disney movies: the absence of a loving father.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cast Member Church meets in a rented hotel space the first Friday of each a month for its \u201cpraise and wonder,\u201d where it makes sure it hits those \u201cirreducible marks of a church\u201d Schreiber mentioned: communion, baptisms, a period of extended worship, a sermon based on Scripture. But more frequently, the church gathers in small groups at Starbucks or Disney lodges at 10 p.m., after shifts end. The church calls these \u201cCommuniDs\u201d\u2014the \u201cD\u201d stands for \u201cdiscipleship,\u201d Barr tells me with a wink.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<em>O]ne of the only times Barr has had to exercise church discipline\u2014one of those \u201cirreducible marks of a church\u201d\u2014was over syncretism. A CommuniD, he says, ended up becoming just a Star Wars fan club. (Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise in 2012 and opened a Star Wars-themed section at Disney World in August.) \u201cThey stopped talking about the lessons and just started talking about similarities between Jedi religion and Christianity and stuff like that,\u201d he says. After trying to get the group back on track a few times, he gave them an ultimatum. \u201cGuys, this is about becoming disciples of Jesus, not about becoming Jedis.\u201d The leader, he said, responded that he\u2019d rather talk about Star Wars. \u201cI said they\u2019d have to stop being part of our church to do that. So they left and started down \u2026 a thing,\u201d he says, cautiously. \u201cIt just fell apart.\u201d He pauses. \u201cI\u2019m accountable for that. I\u2019m the one leading in a context where the Disney influence is always turned up to 11. I\u2019m trying to help [Cast Members] learn to turn down the noise. It\u2019s the same way you learn to hear the Father\u2019s voice.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LISTEN LIVE AT 1:00 PM ET Respond and Engage!TALK TO PAUL ON-AIR: 313.272.5600 CP: Tony Evans says chemo no longer an option for wife, Lois; prays for supernatural intervention\u00a0 \u00a0 BOOK RECOMMENDATION: The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race, and Identity &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/run-sheet-for-wednesday-october-30th\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4173"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4180,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4173\/revisions\/4180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
