4. The Birth of the Shack

26m

Paul shares the story of how "The Shack" went from beginning as 15 xeroxed copies of a story written solely for his children as an expression of how God had changed his life to the phenomenon it is today, and how it was only possible due to discovery of joy in the midst of having every material thing stripped of him.

5. Who is the God of the Shack

26m

Paul further explores the metaphor of the Shack as the heart and soul of a human being that is broken, and how despite what many of us have been taught, God doesn't sit up on high waiting for us to get our lives together, but comes from within our own brokenness to heal us and draw us closer to him.

6. Papa is God the Father

26m

Paul uses his own mother's objections to the portrayal of God the Father in "The Shack," as a jumping off point to explore not only the nature of God, but to share the amazing story of how God used events and people in his mother's life from some 60 years earlier to bring her full circle get her "unstuck."
