Join us for the first Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the semester tonight (Monday), when Gregg Koskela, a George Fox alumnus and pastor at Newberg Friends Church, speaks on the topic “Free, Embrace or Sift? Taking Back Agency as a Christian in Pop Culture” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
We can fear the media around us, giving it power as we fear its corrupting influence. We can swim and breathe in it, thoughtlessly allowing it to define us. Or we can look for how our creative God is bubbling up through all kinds of human creativity, being mindful of the ways music, movies and other media encourage or discourage the pursuit of God’s good life. Gregg will argue for the third.
The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
