  Marty Duren and The Disparate Ones

  Jan 7, 202549 minS0

  <p>I scraped off the cobwebs, blew out the dust, and set up the mic to converse with my friend Marty Duren. We have been friends and have shared our writing for almost twenty years. Sometimes, the projects were collaborative. We often wanted another set of eyes on something we were putting down on paper. </p> <p>Today, we discuss a collection of essays Marty has put in book form. Inspired by a piece of art by Banksy and the discovery of an appropriate word in a Thesaurus, Marty draws out a more profound sense of the Christian adage, “in th...

  <p>My mentor preached at my ordination service. He was the third preacher to preach in the service. When he stood to preach he said, </p> <p>“I am the preacher who preaches after the preacher who preached after the preacher who has already preached.” </p> <p>Knowing Rick, he made that observation during the service and thought it might be a moment of levity. It was.</p> <p>I am the interviewer who interviewed after the interviewers who have already interviewed. But, I may have read the book before the interviewers who have already interviewed.</p> <p>Last year Jaso...

  An Influential Mentor

  Jul 25, 202347 minS0

  <p>Marv Levy takes his dry humor around the globe in the comedy series The Reluctant Traveler. Levy’s travels leave him perplexed and curious. His episode-ending reflections include themes he picks up along the way. Often sounding surprised, he finds that folks living in Finland enjoy life outdoors, even if it is cold. Smiles greet him, and he cannot figure out why. After a few episodes, you get the feeling that he may enjoy a habit he never dreamed he would.</p> <p>Maina Mwara describes his recent book as a project that called him. And after our conversation, I w...

  Interrogate the Language

  <p>We deconstruct everything so why the bugaboo?</p> <p>Mark Driscoll famously attacked deconstruction, or Deconstruction, with the caricature that the goal is to reduce everything to its nub so it may be dismissed.
