We are running a repeat this weekend on a show I produced about being sincere in a cynical world. As you can imagine, this show is as important now as it was months ago. Hell, let’s be honest, more so. I mean, raise your hand if you have, or at least considered, surrendering to the cynical hopeless Dark Side recently. I know I have.
My teenager, almost overnight, has become ironic before my eyes. It’s painful to watch. And not just because his sarcasm is annoying. But because it is a mirror to our adult worldview that is seemingly devoid of sincerity. This is the world he sees — the world he is learning from.
We at TTBOOK are taking this seriously. Come Easter, look forward to three weeks in a row focused entirely on finding hope. Where does hope come from? If you lose hope, what can you do? And, a question we should all be asking ourselves: Is there really no hope for the future?
We are creating our own future. Let’s make it a good one.
