We all like to think that our lives have meaning. We all desperately want to know that our life has purpose. What if we could share what makes our Christian life meaningful with the world? Would it make a difference? Would our sense of meaning help others find meaning as well? Your Artichoke is designed to be the place where you can share with others the things that make your life meaningful as a Christian. This is a place where you can share the things that matter to you, and the things that you stand for as a follower of Christ.

The goal for Your Artichoke is to give the community of believers a venue by which they can share their story, their beliefs, and their ideals through a virtual artichoke. The goal is to make Your Artichoke into a kind of social network for the purpose of sharing stories about what God means to you and how that experience is leading you to make a difference in the world. Your Artichoke gives this opportunity by creating a space where you can share with others what is meaningful to you, layer by layer like an artichoke. Itʼs time to find meaning together again! Itʼs time for Your Artichoke!

Meaning is essential to the formation of our core beliefs and values. A strong sense of personal meaning signifies that you have found something to stand for. In contrast there seems to be a growing spiritual hunger, emotional instability, and addictive tendencies among many in our postmodern society. A widespread epidemic of depression, despair, and uncertainty is increasingly evident. A cynical spirit is the driving force behind our postmodern age. With distrust a sense of meaninglessness has ensued. This condition can prove to be an opportunity for Christians to share with the world the reason for their Hope. Through Your Artichoke Christians have a chance to share how Christ has become the anchor in their lives. Postmodern culture is crying out for an anchor, something that can hold everything they hold meaningful in perspective. Through Your Artichoke, our stories will lead many to find hope in Christ too.
