Let Us Explain...
Devices and Desires
04/02/20 • 51 min
Welcome to Devices & Desires. We're seeking a sacred world in a secular age, and looking deeply into the life of faith in today's culture.
We all long for something. As St. Augustine wrote, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you." But rather than despair, we see within the cracks of our culture an opportunity for the Gospel to spring forth, bringing new life to the surface. Our hope is that you will track with us on this journey, and, to start out on the right foot, we're using this first episode to cast our vision and explain some interesting terms.

How Urban People Relate to the Land
Devices and Desires
04/15/21 • 73 min
Before:
In the city,
Empty lots are
Monuments
To scarcity.
The soil is cracked
And scarred,
Overgrown with weeds
Who offer some kind
Of green,
But only takes away.
Now:
In the city,
Gentle hands trained
in Gospel abundance
Of the country
Are healing the soil,
Kissing its scars,
Breaking it open
In new ways for,
Greener,
Generative kinds.
*Poem was written by James Kibby
