Skye’s new book, The World Born in You, is all about how to navigate the current world without fear, anger, and power grabs—but he has a novel idea for how to write it. Come along and see what this is all about!

Looking forward to it! Cool project, Skye.

Laura Kasson

Will it eventually be released as a full bound book?

Caleb

At around the 45 min mark he talks about that possibility.

As someone looking into self-publishing, it was good to catch a glimpse into the world of publishing. Alongside the rest of HP+ members I look forward to reading!

I really appreciate your perspective on the publishing industry Skye, and to be honest, my heart sank a bit as I realized just how content for books is determined and how little authors like you receive back for the creative work of writing. It all goes back to what you call the evangelical industrial complex. It makes me realize just how much the algorithms of marketing break into every aspect of our lives and how intentional we need to be to break out.

Love the innovation of how to release a book and consider feedback as its being written and finalized. Well done! I listened almost all the way, but had to stop at mention of Andor, as we watched all of season 1 again, and are waiting to watch season 2 ep12 this weekend with family, right before movie night to watch Rogue One.

Laura Harper

I’m so excited about this! Thank you, Skye!

Colin and Kerry Flemington

Once again I'm excited for the content you will produce, but also the entrepreneurial drive to come up with a less lop sided system. I hope it works for you, and maybe challenges the power/control of the existing ways publishing is done. So much more to chat about bingeing the whole holy post for the last 5 years. I'll watch for the collaboration

This is a total spitball, but I wonder if there are any anabaptists who abstain from voting based on their conviction that Christians should not be involved in governing their country or any other use of coercive power.

Joy Diaz

On a previous episode that I wish I was organized enough to specifically point you towards, Skye discusses exactly that with Mike Erie (I think!).

Russell Loveland

I'm looking forward to reading your newest book and listening to the discussions around it. I totally agree with you about the Disney+ ANDOR series. It was excellent and well-acted. Like you, my favorite STAR WARS movies were the first two and parts of the third movie. I could do without the Ewoks and in the later movies characters like Jar Jar Binks. I like the analogy you made with the series ANDOR and the times we are living in today. I also liked that you spoke of the unique gifts that each of us are given and even the smallest things done for the Lord and for others really matter.

I listened to this a couple days ago, but I can't help but think of this negative world thing. The conclusion that the guy draws that we have to take over and force things to fit the way we want things is ridiculous and I'd even say anti Christian. I can't say I think his analysis of the situation is wrong though. I can't think of a time where I was welcomed as a Christian anywhere but church, and in online spaces you either go to right wing spaces where people really don't care if you're a Christian, or you go to left wing spaces and if religion ever comes up all they say about it is that it oppresses women and some even go so far as to say Christians are pedophiles. If you ever mention you are a Christian you have to constantly explain yourself or get harassed about it. I know online isn't the whole world, it's just the main place I interact with people I don't know.

I’m really excited about this!

Andor IS the best SW content in a long time 👍🏾

Mervin Bitikofer

Having just read your intro and Chapter 1 - I'm already excited about your book and looking forward to reading more chapters as you create and share them! This is a gift not just to your own children, Skye, but to children young and old everywhere! Thank you!

Mervin Bitikofer

And ...I'm guessing this is the place for discussion of your work? If so, I have a comment and followup question. I fully agree how you characterize the "empathy-deficit" nature of our current U.S. culture, and how you shine scriptural light on our current cultural posture against that. Your example from the story of Naaman is excellent! Here's my question. Is there ever any time or context when empathy is a wrong response? ...say when you see bullies making your brother's life hard on the playground? Empathy with your brother - sure! But with the bullies? Is there a time to fight with spiritual weapons (non-violently, of course), but opposing nonetheless ... can active opposition to certain actions go hand-in-hand with empathy for the actors? How do you oppose such actors without becoming like them in demonization of the 'other' (just as I 'othered' them just now with mere use of that pronoun)?
