Yesterday I used the storyline of Kung Fu Panda 3 as a segue into talking about Rod Dreher’s Benedict Option.  Here’s a talk that Dreher gave last year at a Q Conference (learn more about that organization here).  In the video, he takes a while to get to the Benedict Option, but that’s because he’s attempting to build a case.  I would encourage you to pay particular attention to the idea of Moralistic Therapeutic Deism.

If you are more of a reader, you can find a FAQ from Dreher about the Benedict Option here.

Tomorrow I’ll post some of my main takeaways from Dreher’s proposal.  There are obviously multiple facets to his arguments.  Some of them are more pertinent to me than others.  Then, on Thursday, I’ll take a look at some of his “detractors” in the discussion.
