Culture Making


“So do you want to make culture? Find a community, a small group who can lovingly fuel your dreams and puncture your illusions. Find friends and form a family who are willing to see grace at work in one another’s lives, who can discern together which gifts and which crosses each has been called to bear. Find people who have a holy respect for power and a holy willingness to spend their power alongside the powerless. Find some partners in the wild and wonderful world beyond church doors. And then, together, make something of the world.”
-Andy Crouch, Culture Making, p. 263

Read a review here from Trevin Wax. I have heard that this book is a must read.

It's an excellent book. It feels practical and theoretical at the same time, and very useful throughout. In fact, it inspired me to create the blog I always intended to start!
