Next Step #293 – January 16, 2014

A candid conversation with Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian about the church, relevancy and focusing on the basics – faith, hope and love. Tchilingirian shares insights from experiences in London as well as from a life in the Armenian Church. Filtering out the “noise,” the quest for meaning, and the soldier/army metaphor are part of this discussion. Also – some thoughts on Martin Luther King Jr., as a minister of the Gospel.

Cheerleading with the Evangelists

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #86 – January 28, 2010

Cheerleading may offer hope, but the church and the Christian have the added challenge of adding faith and love to the mixture. Haiti, Conan and Leno, Obama’s State of the Union, are all in this one, as they lead the discussion to the bigger question of evangelization. Fr. Vazken traces the history of proclaiming the Good News, from Apostolic speeches to the printed Bible to New Media. Even some comments from “The Tech Guy” Leo Laporte and a drive-by by Agent 86, Max Smart.
