One reason his warriors were so devastating in battle was their ambidextrous fighting abilities: “<em>They were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones with both the right and the left.”</em> If one hand was injured, they could quickly switch to the other. If the angle was wrong for a right-handed shot, they could take it with their left. Their holistic preparation gave them a distinct advantage over enemies trained only in their dominant hand.</h5> 366 367 368 369<h5 class="wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-39" id="h-sue-and-i-hate-to-push-the-metaphor-too-far-but-it-seems-to-us-that-much-of-nation-s-current-failures-in-faith-and-culture-stem-from-too-many-leaders-with-single-handed-limitations-few-institutions-in-modern-society-prepare-men-and-women-for-holistic-approaches-to-life-careers-in-education-filmmaking-or-business-often-demand-a-single-minded-focus-from-an-early-age-our-parents-and-teachers-recognize-reward-our-dominant-hand-while-we-re-young-and-set-us-on-a-path-that-all-but-guarantees-we-become-proficient-in-a-very-narrow-range-of-human-experiences">Sue and I hate to push the metaphor too far, but it seems to us that much of nation’s current failures in <em>faith</em> and <em>culture</em> stem from too many leaders with ‘single-handed’ limitations. Few institutions in modern society prepare men and women for holistic approaches to life. Careers in education, filmmaking, or business often demand a single-minded focus from an early age. Our parents and teachers recognize reward our dominant hand while we’re young and set us on a path that all but guarantees we become proficient in a very narrow range of human experiences.</h5> 370 371 372 373<h5 class="wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-40" id="h-this-one-handed-approach-is-perhaps-most-pronounced-in-the-realms-of-faith-formation-and-culture-making-educational-institutions-churches-and-filmmaking-communities-all-long-to-shape-society-for-good-but-often-from-drastically-different-perspectives-nbsp-our-efforts-to-influence-culture-often-lead-to-demonizing-and-scapegoating-one-another-the-most-striking-lesson-of-sue-and-my-seven-year-missionary-journey-to-hollywood-is-the-depth-of-heartache-many-filmmakers-carry-due-to-the-rejection-and-misunderstanding-they-ve-experienced-in-their-interactions-with-faith-communities-and-faith-leaders">This one-handed approach is perhaps most pronounced in the realms of faith formation and culture-making. Educational institutions, churches, and filmmaking communities all long to shape society for good, but often from drastically different perspectives. Our efforts to influence culture often lead to demonizing and scapegoating one another. The most striking lesson of Sue and my seven-year ‘missionary journey’ to Hollywood is the depth of heartache many filmmakers carry due to the rejection and misunderstanding they’ve experienced in their interactions with faith communities and faith leaders.</h5> 374 375 376 377<h5 class="wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-41" id="h-faith-formation-and-culture-making"><strong>Faith-Formation AND Culture-Making</strong></h5> 378 379 380 381<h5 class="wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-42" id="h-this-tension-often-spills-over-into-our-leadership-roles-as-well-leaders-adept-at-culture-making-whether-in-hollywood-or-the-ivy-league-are-rarely-trained-in-the-disciplines-of-faith-formation-leaders-skilled-in-faith-formation-whether-in-a-local-congregation-or-an-international-relief-agency-are-rarely-trained-in-the-art-of-culture-making-it-is-my-firm-belief-that-this-dichotomy-not-only-creates-glaring-blind-spots-in-our-leadership-it-also-robs-us-of-a-vibrant-conversation-with-those-from-whom-we-have-the-most-to-learn">This tension often spills over into our leadership roles as well. Leaders adept at <em>culture-making</em>âwhether in Hollywood or the Ivy Leagueâare rarely trained in the disciplines of faith formation. Leaders skilled in <em>faith formation</em>âwhether in a local congregation or an international relief agencyâare rarely trained in the art of culture-making.

Educators, filmmakers, ministers, often share common goals. What we lack is a common language for understanding one another’s perspectives.
