Hello Friends, it has been a while. It really does seem like I go through these stages of feeling inspired to write, and other seasons of feeling like I have nothing to say. Well, I am searching for my inspiration to continue to make the blog a place that will stimulate the mind, and push out how we can live out the Kingdom in relatable ways. Which brings me to what i have been thinking a lot about, postmodernity. 

This word scares the crap out of me. It is so expansive, a summing up of a whole worldview, a whole way of thinking. Yet, I feel it is extremely important to grasp. It is something that is influencing my life, shaping the way I and those around me think. I don't really have many answer, thus the process of questioning. 

Is postmodernity a negative thing? What are the values of the post-modern? What ways does postmodernity expand the gospel/ hinder it? What would Jesus say to the post-modern? Has postmodernity really already pasted and now it is post-post-modernity? 

In a class i am taking about oral communication, the prof said that culture is shaped by the prevailing technology of communication. That it literally shapes the way our brains work. So, in oral communication the culture literally embodies knowledge. They know that they know because they have to remember it, and experience it. Today we know what we know because of Google (remember what it was like B.G. – before google).   I think this is true. So how does this massive shift in communication (internet, web 2.0, social media) shape this post-modern thought? 

Does anyone know of any good book or blogs about this?

hopefully there will be more to follow as I process thru this.
