1. 1. Culture Making

   Recovering Our Creative Calling

   

   The book argues that Christians are called to shape and renew culture by actively creating, cultivating, and stewarding the material and social world rather than only critiquing it; it reframes cultural engagement as a vocation of skillful, patient, and loving workmanship that forms institutions, practices, and habits which produce human flourishing. It offers practical theology and examples showing how artists, entrepreneurs, educators, civic leaders, and everyday people can participate in cultural formation—transforming things through attention, craft, translation, and stewardship while avoiding domination and passivity. Ultimately the work urges long-term investment in culture-making as a faithful way to participate in God’s reconciling work in the world.

2. 2. Playing God

   Redeeming the Gift of Power

   

   A theological and practical exploration of power as a God-given gift that must be stewarded rather than hoarded or abused. The book analyzes how different forms of power function and become corrupted, diagnoses cultural and personal idols that distort authority, and offers concrete practices and virtues—restraint, accountability, service, and local accountability—for redeeming power in families, churches, businesses, and public life so it cultivates human flourishing and responsibility.

3. 3. The Life We're Looking For

   Reclaiming Relationship in a Technological World

   

   A thoughtful blend of cultural analysis and Christian theology arguing that human flourishing depends less on personal achievement and more on the cultivation and exercise of power through practices that shape us and our institutions. It examines how attention, tools, work, community, and technology form character and destiny, and calls readers to steward power responsibly by building habits—in work, marriage, worship, and civic life—that make and redeem culture. With practical examples and theological grounding, it shows how small, sustained practices can reorient ordinary life toward creation’s restoration and greater human flourishing.
