19. The Mysticism of U2 w/ Dr. Christopher West

U2 & Christopher West are a match made in Pop Culture Catechism heaven: one the world’s best evangelists takes us deep into the music of one of the world’s biggest bands and shares why and how he ditched the “Fast Food Gospel.” Mike also performs a concert of U2’s music, exclusive for the Awaken Nation. We cover A LOT in this episode:

-Hungry People

-Starvation gospel vs the fast food gospel vs the banquet

-The ache in every heart

-How romance leads to God

-How real love requires suffering

-The Playboy Mansion

-Bono’s approach to prayer

-WAP (again, because of course)

-Mike plays a bunch of the Edge’s guitar riffs

-Tips for reordering our desires toward God

-And much more!
