Precarious Paths of a Postmodern Pilgrim
A change has begun... can you feel it?
You are a young man or woman in today's exotic, erotic, electronic postmodern age. Having grown up in a mainstream Evangelical church, you believe in Jesus Christ...
But something in your heart keeps gnawing... bit by bit, you feel pieces of your certainty slipping away into irrelevance. Is that the right word? Each time the pastor gets up to speak, you think how simple his lens seems. Overly-simple. "The world is more complicated than this," you think. There IS gray area, regardless of what the church seems to teach.
"This isn't how it's supposed to be. My Christianity doesn't feel like it's changing anything. There has to be a better way!"
You decide it's time to start searching, digging, exploring, adventuring... there's work to be done. The Christianity you have known has gotten stale and stuck in trench warfare of the past. You want a piece of the future!

Understanding that men and women experience very different realities, roles, reactions and paradigms in society and its subcultures (leading to different blessings, curses and challenges) whose eyes will you begin looking through today?
