Why'd you write your book? How have you seen progressive theology impact our family of churches? You mentioned that progressive theology uses a lot of words that are difficult to keep up with, what did you mean? You said, "We are being trained to speak the language of the world within the context of the church. And it's intentional." What did you mean? You talked about Social A justice and Social B Justice. What's the difference and why does it matter? There seems to be the idea that unless churches follow progressive theology and "get up to date." the church will suffer. You make the claim that the only way a church will grow is to resist that tendency to conform. Why? Why is it so hard to stand up to progressive theology? Where can a person find your book, "Wildfire?"
