Recreate Harder: Going to Playgrounds and Stadiums

When the presumptuous dad “looks up” while pushing his daughter on the swing, it isn't an innocuous glance. It's a glare meant to jab the jugular. When the NY Giants fan acts like he's in his man cave, he ends up inebriated and getting into fist fights with complete strangers. Not good. Dads don't have a share in municipal metals. And there is more to the game than just the game.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle talk about two public places: the playground and the stadium. How should Christians inhabit spaces that are meant for us, but don't belong to us? Can we have a sense of affinity and intimacy for public places without setting ablaze everyone around? Yes. But it starts with learning how to share your toys. And wiping up your spills. Oh—and picking up your trash. Definitely that.

Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor. Project : Neighbor is a theological think tank and spiritual training ground for the Church and the common good. We think theologically about everything from soil to sky, and disciple believers from crib to casket. We draw widely from the catholic Christian tradition, are ecumenically-oriented, and practically-minded.

Project : Neighbor is co-directed by Kyle David Bennett and Christopher Cimorelli
