Beth and I enjoyed Todd’s talks immensely. I t was an interesting paradigm shift to hear/understand that cognitive processing was not the means by which the younger generation is convinced of the reality of God’s love. But it certainly made sense, and lines up with our Lord’s comment that others will know you are my disciples if you love one another. Can’t wait to get Todd’s book “Christianity: Beyond Belief”

I also enjoyed Todd’s talks. Being from the generations he talked about, most of that was not surprising to me, but simply confirmed my ideas and experience and put them into words.
I loved the way he defined the purpose of Christianity: to be transformed into Christlikeness for the sake of others. That is exactly what I have been learning in Colossians and blogging about recently.
One thing that bothered me a little bit was his implication that a “devotion time” or “quiet time” was unnecessary and doesn’t work. I liked his examples of practicing the presence of God, but it seems to me that significant one-on-one time with God needs to be coupled with His continual presence - not left out entirely.
