Week 5 - Listening for echoes Mon 22nd to Sun 28th Mar
Hannah Steele in Living His Story suggests that there are four big questions which every culture must address. These are:’who are we?’; ‘what is wrong?; ‘what’s the solution? and ‘what’s the future?’ By listening for the echoes of those questions in our own culture, and the ways in which culture tries to address them, we can find creative ways to share the story of God which connect with people.
This week, think about a book or film or TV programme that you have engaged with recently. How does it try to address these four big questions? How would you answer them?
