We are a people who learn by doing. If you want to teach us something in a way that sticks, you have to give us opportunities to live out what we've learned. Some discussion was given to how the Christian narrative and the American narrative aren't as compatible as we might like to think and that we tend to, as American Christians, teach the Christian narrative and live out the American one.
So, how to stop this? Assuming that you accept the basic premise (that the Christian story of mercy and sacrifice is at odds with the American dream power and security), what's one way in which we can begin to live out the narrative we teach?
