Jesus didn't save us from an angry God. Jesus is God saving us. Some questions are too sacred to answer, but too important to ignore. That's why the most meaningful conversations often start with laughter, honest doubts, and-of course-tacos. The sacred and the silly mingle here-not in competition, but in communion. If the version of God you were handed feels too small, you're not alone. Faith was never meant to be stiff-or silent.

In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us.

Smith helps listeners recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices.

For us to have favor with God, obedience is of utmost importance. "To obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22).

Jing energy is creative, generative energy that is vital for the development of chi (vital life-force energy) and shen (spiritual energy), which enables higher practices.
