Act like you want brothers. Act like you want guys who will be friends, not users; not conquerors. And men, cultivate sisters; a level of sharing and caring that the sexual conquerors will never even get close to. Treat her like family. She's your sister, man! And every sister needs a brother. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6753 2012-01-25T04:31:27-05:00 Here's some sheer musical talent to honor. And yes, Zoe Thomson is only 8. Her Stratosphere guitar is likely older than her. Music is an integral part every culture, throughout history and across continents. We are hard-wired to communicate through music. The study of music in different cultures is called ethnomusicology. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6741 2012-01-13T13:01:12-05:00 We've seen a crop of good movies already this year – Hugo, Warhorse, The Artist, and The Iron Lady. Culturewatch team Damaris has produced a range of discussion materials about life issues (not political issues) raised by The Iron Lady film http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/always-time-for-a-time-out-6371 2011-06-13T14:59:44-05:00 When you exercise the faith to take your time out each week, your judgment improves, your energy goes up, your creativity is greater, your confidence is greater, your personality's better to be around, and you return to your responsibilities a better you. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/4348 2011-05-27T09:34:30-05:00 I'm not yet 30 years old, but my experience of the world growing up as a teenager is vastly different to that of teenagers today. It's been a shock to consider how different our worlds are. Below are a couple of documentaries by PBS that explore how the internet is changing every aspect of our lives, and the challenges for children who are growing up in this very different world. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/3166 2011-01-06T15:25:45-05:00 Best person to ask about the cultural trends of the last 10 years is a culture watcher. Here's Andy Crouch on Ten Most Significant Cultural Trends of the Last Decade. Plus technical changes in the last 10 years. http://truewoman.com/?id=1483 2010-11-12T14:43:23-05:00 A couple weeks ago, I left my computer and cubicle behind, and hit the streets asking women some tough questions about what it means to be a true woman. While I’m glad I didn’t have to answer these questions on the spot, I will say that there’s a whole lot of confusion amongst women about who we are, why we exist, and what will make us truly happy. http://ivpress.com/likewisebooks/ 2010-11-04T11:36:07-05:00 Likewise books are meant to help you make those choices. The good news is that culture adapts and changes. So we can shape what it will be. We can make culture, faithfully. That's Likewise. Go and do. Likewise books, at their best, should work like parables. Books like The New Friars or Practical Justice are pictures of active faith meant to inspire you to get onto your donkey, or into your '92 Geo Metro, and go and do something similar. Something "likewise." http://truewoman.com/?id=937 2010-09-08T14:01:00-05:00 Janet Parshall expresses concern for women who are being taken as “prisoners of war,” talks about the importance of truth, and explains where exactly to find it in a culture that doesn’t believe it exists. http://truewoman.com/?id=1176 2010-09-01T12:09:52-05:00 If Bella were my daughter, I’d warn her loudly and clearly about falling for a counterfeit version of true romance. In the real world, the Bellas who fall for the Edwards usually don’t live happily ever after. In the real world, twilight turns to night.
