		<description><![CDATA[This is a season when people are particularly bold and passionate about telling the world who they place their faith in.  Physical expressions of this faith are everywhere. Take a look around.  On billboards, bumper stickers, vacant lots, fences, public land, private land, businesses and in front yards you’ll see them — campaign signs!  All have the names of a person or ballot initiative, many have arresting slogans too.  You can argue the validity or truth behind the candidates and the messages, many do, but I contend that at the heart of all these is faith and hope.  Faith in the people and process changes put forth to create positive changes in the world and hope for a better community and world.  I find it a sad irony that in the days, weeks (and sometimes months) that follow elections these campaign signs often remain, becoming weathered and  beaten-down reminders of the hope that quickly fades in the reality of a political system based on fatally flawed people who inevitably fail to live-up to the superhuman hopes we place in them. If you look at stories recorded in the Bible about the things prophets did to get the attention of people... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t want to make a habit of joining in on overly discussed topics from the blogosphere, but I&#8217;m going to take exactly that risk with this post. In the last few days I have seen countless Tweets, Facebook posts, and blogs all drawing attention the controversy surrounding a recent interview of Mark Driscoll by Justin Brieley of the podcast, &#8220;Unbelievable.&#8221; The first part of the interview features both Mark and his wife Grace in connection with their Book Real Marriage, the rest focuses on Mark&#8217;s ministry as pastor of Mars Hill Church Seattle, his approach and theology. Having been witness to so much of the discussion, even in my own family, I decided to skip past the chatter and listen to the unedited interview in its entirety—and I&#8217;m glad I did, because it revealed a lot I believe is being overlooked. In fact, I think the discussion is extremely illuminating, not so much for the words that were said, but for the dynamic between Mark and Justin, and for the polarization that&#8217;s occurred in the days following the interview.
