Balancing the culture we live in with our faith can be tricky- especially if the faith has been part of our culture for generations. How do we make sure we don't get too complacent?
Some of us (Austin, for one) are such control freaks that we look up spoilers to avoid the anxiety of not knowing what's coming up. But that's incongruent with our calling to trust in the mystery of God's working. How can we learn to trust in the mysteriousness of God?
