‘Modern Christianity is at a testing crossroads.  Many are captivated by Jesus or newly intrigued by him.  They know it’s possible to be a Christian and not be very much like Jesus, and they are rejecting expressions of Christianity that fail that test’.

Brent talks with Marc Alan Schelske who’s the author of a new 40 day devotional from Live 210 Media called ‘Walking Otherward: Forty Meditations on Following Jesus’ Path of Other Centred, Co-Suffering Love’.

Marc is a happily recovering fundamentalist praying for the restoration of all things.  He writes and teaches about spiritual maturity, emotional growth and the other centred co-suffering way of Jesus.  He’s a small church pastor nearing 30 years of experience as a big design and technology geek and sometimes musician.
