I am a fan of Brian McLaren, so I typed his name in my google search engine. I found this clip about the Kingdom of God. Kingdom of God is anywhere God chooses to reveal Himself. However, I believe that I need to slow down to witness God's presence. I depend way too much on my preconceived notions about God, the culture, and my reality. I am tired assuming that life should be a cookie cutter reality where it fits into a particular, Chuck given mold. In Experiencing God, Henry Blackaby wrote that we, followers of Jesus - in the dust of the rabbi and Savior, are to join God where he is at work. So I have to wonder - when Jesus declared, "the Kingdom is near" does that mean that the presence of God is knocking at our door, the door of our heart - whisper to some, talking to other, or shouting - "I am near, join me in my reality, my culture, and my life."
