Andy's brand new book - Churches and the Crisis of Decline - is out now! Derek took some time to sit down with Andy to talk about the book, the real "crisis" the church is facing (hint - it's not decline), and the importance for church leaders to simply wait for God to act. Grab your copy of the book here - https://tinyurl.com/4pnbkdre www.newtimereligion.org www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion New Time Religion featuring Dr. Andrew Root produced by Derek Tronsgard.

Everyone loves Ted Lasso.  But Andy thinks that this points to a bigger issue in our culture & church. When we're always trying to be positive and smooth, life becomes an exhausting performance where we hide our jagged edges.  And this isn't always healthy, and it's definitely not the point of the Gospel. Andy's book The Congregation in a Secular Age is out now.  Be sure to grab your copy today: https://tinyurl.com/yxu2mcx2 www.newtimereligion.org www.twitter.com/newtimereligion www.facebook.com/newtimereligion New Time Religion featuring Dr. Andrew Root produced by Derek Tronsgard.

We're back from summer break with a new batch of episodes and it's....been....quite the year. There's a lot going on with the global COVID pandemic, political turmoil, issues of equality and justice, and more.  And so to kick things off, Andy talks about the perspective thinkers like Taylor and Rosa can give us during historic times like these. Also - did you know that dogs tell time through smell?

It's the middle of summer and who knows if we'll ever watch movies in the theater again.  But...we DO have another episode of Andy's Movie Club featuring a movie that you can stream at-home and watch along with us! This time we're watching the Amazon original movie "Brad's Status" starring Ben Stiller.  If you're old like us you'll love it and identify with Brad and his mid-life crisis.  If you're under 35 you'll probably think Brad is a selfish jerk.  But still give it a shot!     The movie is all about resonance, relationships, being vs. having, and finding the good life.  It's almost like Hartmut Rosa and Charles Taylor wrote the darn thing!
