Pop Culture is Where We Explore Our Faith

Quote by Terry Mattingly from Pop Goes Religion...

"If you study the statistics, the typical modern American is much more likely to be exposed to a new religious insight or doctrine at the mall or the movie multiplex than in a traditional sanctuary. This is how modern Americans spend their time, spend their money and make their decisions. Day by day, they have evolved into mass-media disciples."

Quote by George Barna & Mark Hatch in Boiling Point...

"The world of entertainment and mass communications--through television, radio, contemporary music, movies, magazines, art, video games and pop literature -- is indisputably the most extensive and influential theological training system in the world."

If pop culture saturated people had a way to ask us (the church) to address their questions, what might that look like?
Check out Mark Driscoll's upcoming sermon series "Ask Anything" at Mars Hill Seattle. The world basically has 3 months to say to Mark, "this is what we want to know." Mark will then preach 9 sermons beginning January 08 about the top 9 topics.
