[Crisis & Awakening - Intro]
I’ve spent almost three years offering daily reflections on vocation and social change. I’ve covered a wide number of topics within those general categories, and I’ve realized that each topic is my attempt to name what is true to my experience without getting bogged down with religious jargon.
Are my reflections religious? Well, sure. Sometimes it’s more obvious than others.
But is it jargon-y? Never (I hope).
This month I’m challenging myself to use this same tact but speak meaningfully about a more traditionally religious topic. Can I avoid religious jargon and still speak/write poignantly about spiritual awakening? Conversion? Religious experience? I believe I can.
For the next 30 days, I’ll be wrangling with how to communicate truthfully and with precision about what I’m calling “Crisis & Awakening”—articulating spiritual renewal for those uninterested in cliches and jargon.
