Lately, I've been thinking that many of us, for generations now, have been living in a state of “crisis of belief.” I challenged myself to genuinely believe in what I am about to share with you, and I feel my life would be in a much better place if I truly did. As I read these words to myself, I constantly ask whether I genuinely believe what I just read. This is my way of personally addressing my crisis of faith and encouraging you to do the same.

When I read this passage a decade ago, it became clear that I had a long way to go before I truly understood. And why was “it” hidden in Christ? That is for later. My thesis statement is that for any of us to grasp our existence and what it truly means to be human, we must align ourselves with Christ and start there to get it right, or we risk being just another “lost” barbarian making tracks on planet Earth, ultimately dying without ever comprehending it at all.

This reflection aims to delve into these aspects, encouraging you to deepen your understanding of your faith.

Mythology for a Postmodern Culture

What would our lives look like if we consider God to be nothing more than a mythological figure? The characters depicted in the Bible, the words and letters they wrote, the overarching themes conveyed in the Bible, and the compilation of books and letters are abstract, objective things that do not possess meaning? The idea of objectifying and mythologizing the truths spoken of in the Bible isn't anything new.

How to share the gospel with a post-modern society. Here lies the challenge we face. Postmoderns live in the left hemisphere of their brain. They live in an abstract reality that they’ve created for themselves. They have done this to make a space they can be comfortable in, where they feel no threat. Berdyaev and McGilchrist both speak of this phenomenon in great detail.
