Personal Meanderings of Joshua Seek
Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with Craig Spinks of Recycle Your Faith and Quadrid Productions and do a little interview about my journey through my faith. It was a very cathartic experience. We chatted about thoughts, experiences, and changes in my faith, and my views on what's important. The interview was a part of a larger interview with Emerging Desert, and Joy, Jim, Adam, and Jacob all contributed as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Craig and his wife, Sara, have been on the road for the past four months visiting different faith communities and recording interviews with people along the way. The videos on his website are reflective, sometimes offensive, but intriguing. Definitely check them out if you're interested in honest talk about faith.
On a side note, Craig and I talked a bit at the end about how it's hard to talk about something so sensitive. I told him that I felt a bit scared knowing that his video would be online for anyone to see, and the implications of that. He told me that I wasn't alone: Even people he has interviewed who spend their lives in the open, speaking about controversial topics, felt some hesitance before they sat down and had an honest conversation. It's encouraging to know that is common to our experience. When speaking of something like faith, that is so close to our hearts, we all feel a fear of rejection.
