Brining in a sea of Americanism I often tell people that I wake up every day trying to answer the question, “How can I make following Jesus not seem like a crazy prospect?” “How do I get ordinary postmodern people to follow Jesus?” It turns out that as normal as I make Jesus (as I try to undo what the loudest Christians in the land are doing), it’s still going to take some radicality to follow him. Despite the effort that many Christians have employed to syncretize our faith with our culture, or to try to use it as an agent to transform our culture, I really don’t think that the American soil is fertile for Christianity to grow.
