What is a ritual? “The word gets a bad rap,” says Dr. Johnson. So, if you are looking for a summary of the role of rituals inside and outside the Church, look no further. Dru’s book is packed with substantive arguments and down to earth applications sure to get folks thinking about their daily rituals and how these rituals form us into the humans that we are.
Pastor Brito and Dr. Johnson also talk about the power of rituals in replacing bad habits and how the act of repetition in communion with others actually change us.

Rev. Mickey Schneider stands as a unique figure in Southern Presbyterian history. He assumed various leadership positions as a PCUSA minister and after the PCA was formed in 1973. Mickey’s 50 years of pastoral ministry provides a plethora of stories; not all of his stories are flowery; some, however, are sublime. The listener will get a glimpse into the life of a giant who has lived his life to the glory of God through trials– some of which he will admit was brought on by his own mistakes–and triumphs–which he places at the feet of Jesus.
Mickey’s transparency about the good, the bad and the ugly ought to provide an outline of half a century of faithful service to the Lord. May we learn and may we grow as a result of his life.
You can read Pastor Brito’s remarks at Mickey’s retirement.

Pastor Brito talks with Mr. Sean Johnson on his fantastic essay, Are the Culinary Arts Liberal Arts?
The essay seeks to make an argument for treating cooking as an essential part of a Christian’s education in its classical sense, as well as the experiential day-to-day of Christian living. Sean details the purpose of food in its creational and post-fall environment and also elaborates on how eating prepares us for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. If I said this interview was “delicious,” some might retort that such a statement is cheesy and corny, but I think it’s because they haven’t tasted the ingredients of this conversation. So, bring the bread and wine, and let’s roll.
In a deeper sense, my act of making—every human act of making—is an imitation of God’s own creative act. -Sean Johnson
