In this clip from Good Faith, Curtis Chang talks with author and pastor John Mark Comer about a church built for a world that no longer exists — one where the problem was apathy, not the anxiety and distraction most of us live with now. Drawing on Henri Nouwen's The Way of the Heart and the desert fathers, Comer argues that the theology doesn't need to change, but its application does: he makes the case for silence and lectio divina in Sunday gatherings, a "rule of life" that includes Sabbath and praying the Psalms, and even guided meditation — remembering the church planter whose most common question was simply, "Is it okay for a Christian to meditate?" A hopeful vision of a church that would slow your life down instead of speeding it up.
