By the second day of the festival, we had heard Smith speak a couple times on the sort of issues explored in his book, Imagining the Kingdom. Smith wants Christians to understand that arguments aren’t enough to make faithful citizens of the Kingdom of God—we need poems and novels and films and songs to transform our desires. God needs to baptize our imaginations. As we spoke to him after one of the panels, we told him about our work at Bloomfield Christian School and Church of the Advent, seeing God change people’s desires and imaginations. Smith was excited to hear about folks from our generation putting these ideas into practice. And he mentioned that he was coming to our hometown in the fall to speak at Rochester College about his new book, You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit.
