There's a concept in the physical world that when a sound wave is just the right length in a room, it becomes amplified, and that sound stands out among all the others in that room. This concept is called resonance. It's a fascinating topic with fascinating implications, and not just with sound. It's true of all waves that exists in a certain space, including water waves.
And the idea of resonance has taken hold in other areas. We talk about how songs, speeches, books, art, and ideas resonate with people. For whatever reason, certain things stand out for certain people.
My hope with this project is that what you encounter here will resonate with you. That it will stand out for you among the many other voices and be amplified in a healthy way as we dialogue about things that are important to our lives.
About the Founder
My name is Michael Schutz. I'm a husband, father of four, and Lutheran pastor. I created TheResonant as a resource for people who want to think deeply about the things going on in our world, and especially for Christians who want to be thoughtful about how they live as Christians in our world.
