The collision of theology and culture isn’t always beautiful, or even rational, but I am here to enjoy the ride and help pick up the pieces whenever possible. You can chalk it up to the infamous middle child syndrome; I’ve always had a thing for peace.
So that’s what this blog is about- trying to harmonize theology and the culture surrounding it. Sometimes that looks like criticizing culture and sometimes it means disrupting theological norms, but harmony is the goal we’re after.
I did my undergraduate studies in Bible at The Master’s College and am working on a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, which basically makes me the illegitimate mind-child of conservative (what some might call fundamentalism) and moderately progressive Evangelicalism.
My wife Vicky and I have spent seven years in youth ministry together, loving every second of it. My name is Allen O’Brien and I’d like to think that I’m a Christian.
Thanks for reading my blog.
