The Shock Absorber

Stu, Tim and Joel re-visit a previous episode to get Stu's thoughts on the importance of church. They discuss the impact of Descartes' "I think therefore I am" on indvidulism, society and the church at large as well as the tension we must hold between individual faith and collective worship. Church is about both/and rather than either/or and could it go from daggy to dangerous to desirable to delightful?
