Product Information

And in that sense of, we’re gonna be talking today about creativity, and also what gets in the way of creativity and how creativity can truly, come into a kind of flourishing to be able to reveal something about what it means to live well. And I remember being 17 with braces and a bowl cut, sitting in the back of this classroom, hearing that story and wanting so desperately for it to be true. Former creative director for Willow Creek Community Church, Hogan is currently a full-time filmmaker.

Well, and, that does make me think of, Roy Barsness, who’s no longer at Seattle School, recently retired. And the way you described it, was that taking moment of your past, a moment of trauma, moment of pain or hurt, that occurred in the past, but we project that idea onto the future.Formerly the creative director for Willow Creek Community Church, Hogan is currently a full-time filmmaker who directs celebrities from LeBron James to Carrie Underwood. Whether you have experienced abuse or know someone who has this book helps to understand the murky waters of trauma and encourages the reader to make a difference! It's a great book for healing and growth, but it definitely isn't what the back cover describes it as. And, our teacher told us the story of Plato’s allegory of the cave and it’s exactly as you described.

Through his own personal revelations and insightful gleanings, he invites you to take up some seemingly radical practices and some not so, and be creative so you can tell a better story with your own life. Blaine holds a Master of Arts in Theology and Culture from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. A richer, more imaginative, and meaningful life is waiting just outside the cave for anyone who has ever been stuck, addicted, ashamed, dissatisfied, or lost. Recently he directed a project with Google and the USOC following Olympians Tony Azevedo and Maya Moore.

I was fortunate to read Blaine’s book prior to publishing and couldn’t have been more excited to see that it’s finally here. There was something of curiosity that opened the door will not step into the particulars, but into the, into the events of the abuse.

In Exit the Cave, Blaine shares the stories that shaped him--his own, others', and God's greater story--while exploring how our relationship to our past defines the way we live in the present.

And I’d always held that story, in sort of, the penultimate moment of this three act structure that I had created, Which was my dad was an alcoholic and an addict, and my mom, suffered from, debilitating, diabetes, and she had seizures, and my brother and I needed to care for her in different ways. As I sat this book down (or really, I turned off my Kindle) I knew I would not soon forget what I just experienced. Exit the Cave was exactly what I needed but I didn't know it when I first started reading, and to be honest, I wasn't sure at first where this book would take me.
