CHRIS CAHILL / GO DEEPER
Imagine Reimagined
Contemporary music. Sacred longing. An honest conversation.
For readers who hear spiritual questions in the music and culture around them.
A sustained dialogue with the questions opened by “Imagine”: eternity, suffering, peace, belonging, and the kind of world we hope to inhabit. The manuscript connects contemporary longing with Christian reflection, contemplation, and the practice of peacemaking.

Hard questions.
A generous table.
I’m Chris Cahill—a pastor, counselor, author, musician, and fellow traveler who believes faith deserves our whole attention.
Bridge Builder Blog brings ancient Christian depth into conversation with contemporary life. We examine inherited beliefs, make room for contemplation, and ask how the love of Christ becomes visible in the way we live.
You can bring convictions and still listen. You can ask difficult questions and still seek God. Our invitation includes the courage to examine ourselves.
