TED talks are a drop-in secular replacement for revivals. That's the only reason they exist.

But maybe we need secular revivals. Maybe you need a secular revival.

I think a lot of people need secular retreats more than revivals. Just a weekend of quiet contemplation, telling stories, and big feelings with people you kinda know.
