Curiosity as a Christian Virtue: Keeping the doors open to wonder and seeking
This post marks the launch of a new phase in my Church Potluck media empire: regular blog posts. True to the potluck imagery, these entries will cover a wide range of topics and take on many forms—essays, devotionals, cultural commentary, and more.
BOOK SPOTLIGHT:
The Little Church that could
This warm and joyful book celebrates the heart of a real-life congregation that shows you don’t have to be big to do big things for God. Whether it’s worshiping together, caring for neighbors, or laughing over potluck dinners, The Little Church That Could shows how a small church can make a big difference—with love at the center of it all.
About Church Potluck
Church Potluck serves up thoughtful, friendly, informal conversation at the intersection of Christianity and contemporary culture. Just like a church potluck, we offer variety: a variety of topics, a variety of academic disciplines, and a variety of Christian traditions. Guests are friends and colleagues who are also experts in the fields of sociology, political science, theology, philosophy, divinity, and more.
About the HOST
Hosted by Dale McConkey—a Methodist pastor, sociologist, and longtime college professor—Church Potluck is where tradition meets curiosity. Through essays, conversations, and books, we invite everyone to pull up a chair at the table of faith.
