Are you happy with your life? Are you spending your time doing the things that matter to you, with the people who you care about the most? Those were the questions that prompted Christine Roush to begin the research that has resulted in her book, Swimming Upstream: Reflections on consumerism and culture.
As the statistics would prove, the questions struck a tender nerve with the American culture. Our consumer oriented lifestyles have turned many of us into people we never intended to be, living life in a way that may not reflect our values.
Consultant and motivational speaker Chris Roush uses humor, timely research and her own life story as she challenges listeners to examine their own values as individuals and as people of faith. She encourages each of us to consider the culture in which we live, and to choose to swim unstream! Check out the pages of this website for ideas, books and statistics. Add to the blog, and become part of the conversation.

Spouting off:
When did stewardship become a bad thing? Maybe more to the point, why have we let it happen? The Bible talks a lot about how we are supposed to care for (be good stewards of) everything – our families, our money, our bodies, even Scripture itself. So why then, have we decided we don’t like to hear about it in church? With bankruptcy levels at an all time high, an incredible number of homes in foreclosure, increasingly polluted air, water and land, and some of the most stressed out people that ever existed on the planet – DO WE HONESTLY THINK LISTENING TO WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE SUBJECT IS A BAD IDEA?
Sorry, just thinking out loud I guess.
