TEDx Talks Religion’s Cyclical Nature Can Show Us How To Survive Disruptive Change | Ben Lee | TEDxLancaster

Using the cyclical nature of religion as a framework for the inevitably of change, Ben Lee compares social and technological realities at work in the world 500 years ago with similar pressure points converging upon us today. After suggesting that we are uniquely living as a “handoff generation” in the liminal space between the way things have been for centuries and the new world emerging in our midst, practical ideas are offered for how to thrive in this exponentially faster, anxiety-inducing era in history. Ben grew up in rural Alaska and has since lived in coastal Washington, hipster Oregon, urban Kansas City, southern Georgia, rustbelt Ohio, and Amish Country, Pennsylvania. After a tour of duty in the US army, college and seminary, Ben spent a decade as an ordained minister, pastoring churches around the country (including starting a funky church called "The Resistance" for religious skeptics). After finishing a Doctor of Ministry degree (where his research focused on communication in a post-modern context), Ben taught as an adjunct professor at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, teaching classes such as Church in the 21st Century, and one of the nation’s first theology/philosophy of technology classes. Ben is currently the Director for the Make-A-Wish® Foundation in the Susquehanna Valley. He ends most days at the dinner table with his wife and three children telling stories about the wishes for critically ill children his team granted that day. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
