YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Even though it's a global cultural movement, I had never even heard of Burning Man until a few years ago, and was completely ignorant of its global influence. But my friend Carl Teichrib definitely wasn't. As a Christian, he goes to the Burning Man Festival every year with “The Camp of the Unknown God” to reach others with the Gospel and has written extensively on the topic. He’s seen the underbelly of Burning Man firsthand, its rituals, symbolism, spiritual claims, and transhumanist themes. It's definitely more than just a party in the middle of the desert.
