It doesn’t have to be about “radical” change, as Unapologetic author Francis Spufford explains in an interview:
If we ask to be radical all the time, it often seems to be not just rushing past the quotidian, but rushing past our own distinctly pitied and cracked nature. We don’t get to be weightless like that because we are, most of the time, in need of a much more humble and ordinary repair job.
In the chapter where I have to produce a kind of one-chapter New Testament for people who’ve never come across it, the reason why I have Yeshua, my de-familiarized Christ, saying, “Far more can be mended than you know,” which I think is actually true to the New Testament, is that I want mending. Not flying free, not transformation, but humble, ordinary, everyday, get-you-back-on-your-feet mending, to be at the center of the Christian story.
