    "Hand Made" sounds great, except when it comes to treating something hand made as though it were God. Chad gives a wonderful meditation on idolatry, and Aralyn Macare sings "Human Hands".

    Just My Imagination. In this episode, we read Eugene Peterson’s book, Under the Unpredictable Plant, and discuss theological imagination at length. What are the consequences when the church takes its cues from a culture with no imagination? Can Christians tell biblical stories without a theological imagination? What happens when the earthly and heavenly are divided by a lack of imagination into merely rationalized explanations?
