Unsettled Questions

by Dave Bazan and David Dark

In a wide-ranging conversation interspersed with song, author of The Sacredness of Questioning Everything David Dark and musician Dave Bazan (formerly, of Pedro the Lion) will discuss the struggles of a questioning faith. They’ll wrestle with the joys and tensions of attempting to sustain a creative and neighborly livelihood without lying or going crazy. Their back-and-forth will include their appreciation of the witnessing work on offer by contemporary truth tellers, David Simon, Cormac McCarthy, Leonard Cohen, and the Brothers Coen.

They managed to actually say nothing for 15 minutes. You can only chase the god dragon for so long until you realize that it never existed. Ah! But then you can slowly move on and be a full, regular human without all the baggage...

Luke Sital-Singh

Please please please can we see the rest of this discussion?

Incredible

sarah

Yes, where's the rest?! Would love to hear it.

Shaun Fox

I'm kinda bummed that the rest of the interview isn't here. Will it be available later or something?

Arni

That's lovely, joe. People who believe in God aren't full, regular human beings. Cheers.

Spears

To bad the rest of this interview is not here...any chance the whole discussion could be made available?

Tim

Please post this entire conversation. 16 minutes is too little.

Hi Luke, Sarah, Shaun, Spears, Tim and the rest of the Q Readers,

Thank you for your interest in this piece. Unfortunately, we are unable to post the remainder of this discussion. They went directly into an acoustic music set which we do not have the rights to share online.

All the best,

The Q Team

Joe, I'm surprised you think David said nothing. I heard him sounding the gong to those who are asleep and have ears but do not hear.

Good comments at end of clip in recognizing that our "witness" is already engaged and operative, without us needing to make another thing- distinct from what we live..

On the whole, extremely circular, cynical and tragically abstract. What, in our journeys, is life-giving, gentlemen? What gets us into the imperfect arena of embracing the truth & fellowshipping with Jesus to live it?

Having deconstructed everything you could conceive of, what shall we (in our imperfect, flawed, "bastardly" way- Dave) construct? Embrace?

I get that we are "flawed", bent on a will to power (more importantly that I am these things)-- please get us out of this passive, philosophical soup -- to somehow embrace and walk with the redemptive Jesus who comes to move us forward, even in our brokenness.

peace

dan
