Ooh…I so wish I had been reading your blog back when your wrote this. I’m a huge fan of Lauren Winner. I love her story and her writing style. And for some reason, God has given me a love for Judiasm. As a gentile Christian, I can see significant meaning in the Jewish lifestyle…so my one question would have been, that after all she’s learned and experienced, how does one incorporate the Jewish rhythm into the Christian relationship? (if that even makes sense…)

Ask Phyllis why she feels so many minister’s and theologians are kicking against the goad of what’s happening

Wow! That would be a really neat job to have I’m excited to hear how things go. And… as far as questions for Lauren and Phyllis, I think my general question would be the same for both of them:

How on earth do they manage to create a rhythm for the rituals of faith? I try and try and try, and it seems like I’m just not one of those people that does *anything* routinely. My day is never exactly the same… so how can people like me ever fit disciplines into their lives? Is it even possible or are spiritual disciplines just for people whose personalities lend themselves to routine?

Question for Lauren:

Throughout your work, (which I greatly enjoy,) you often speak of your movement from Judaism to Christianity, which we could say is a matter of which presentation/expression/tradition of deism to follow. I have wondered the more basic question of what brings you to deism in the first place?

Thanks,
Valerie

in Girl Meets God we meet a young Lauren, full of passion and compulsion. Looking back on the decisions she made, stripping away all that was Judism, pasting icons on her walls, relationships …is there anything in that history that Lauren would like to clarify from hindsight years later? We can’t change the past, most of of us wouldn’t want to, but we can glean from the choices. What does the Lauren of today look like as a christian compared to the impulsive one of your college years?

That sounds really great. I’m glad that doors are opening that you so desired to walk through. Also, I’m glad you continued writing. Read Searching, Blue, and To Own and I loved them all. I cried reading chapter 10 and 11 in To Own a Dragon. Looking forward to the next.

God is so good and He really does provide more than we could have ever imagined.

Sincerely, Shelly

So is this a private interview with Lauren Winner or is this at a meeting somewhere?

Random question:

Who was the music in that video?

All the best,

That’s awesome, regarding your new line of work with Converge, but too, glad you’ll never stop writing. I recently hit a bit of a drought myself when it comes to writing. Figure I just need to get back to the basics (writing shorts) in hopes of once again finding my voice. Spent the last year working on a script which is totally different.

Anyway, really look forward to your interview with Phyllis Tickle. No questions though, I’ll just listen:)

I just discovered Phyllis Tickle a couple months ago on a blog she was guest writing for. I immediately connected with her story telling style. I don’t know enough about her to ask any relevant questions, so I’ll be looking forward to Converge and leaning more about her!

(Dear God,
Please, please let Converge be a podcast! You know how I love ‘em.
Thank you. Amen)
