A couple weeks ago, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School announced the impending closure of its Chicago-area campus. The demise of TEDS is the latest in a spate of struggles among Christian higher-ed institutions. Why are seminaries and colleges closing their doors? What does it mean for the future of theological education? In this episode, we dig into the history of 20th-century American Christianity to explore the founding of evangelical institutions, the challenges that brought them to this point, the "Southern takeover" of American evangelicalism, and what the future might hold.

Intelligence is everywhere. People used to say that "knowledge is power," but machine learning is changing everything. One author argues that we've moved from the Information Age to the Age of Agency. In this new era, your impact will be measured not by what you know, but by your ability to take action and make things happen. What changes might this new era require in education, discipleship, and spiritual formation? In this episode, we discuss how Christians can apply the wisdom of the Scriptures to this moment and spur one another to renewed agency. (0:00) Introductions: We’re Talking A.I. Again (3:10) The Rise of Agency (10:31) 4 Eras of Human History (16:07) You Can Just Do Things (22:41) Wisdom vs. Knowledge (24:56) Applying Wisdom to the Intelligence Age Article: https://jeffgiesea.substack.com/p/agency-is-the-new-superpower…
 
In our recent conversation about the recent Pew Religious Landscape Study, we missed an interesting data point: the decline of the Roman Catholic church. In this episode, we interact with a WORLD Opinion piece that explores the data and proposes some explanations for the downward trend. We discuss Catholic/Protestant apologetics; why high-profile "celebrity conversions" don't tell the whole story; and why discipling and catechizing our kids is vital to the growth and health of Christianity. (0:00) Introductions (1:19) Something We Missed from the Pew Religious Landscape Study (13:38) What the Decline of Catholicism Means for Culture At Large (16:14) Opportunities for Charitable Conversations Among Protestants and Catholics (24:17) The Importance of Discipling and Catechizing Our Children Article: https://wng.org/opinions/mass-exodus-1743031983 Research Study: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/decline-of-christianity-in-the-us-has-slowed-may-have-leveled-off/…
 
In 2021, Mark Zuckerberg changed his company's name from Facebook to Meta. It signaled his decision to go "all in" on virtual reality and everything it promised. (We talked about it in Episode 366: Meta Church .) But less than four years later, the meta-hype is collapsing, with every major VR company reporting losses and pulling back products. In this episode, we discuss what we can learn from the meteoric rise and decline of virtual reality... and how this tale can make us wiser in our approach to technology. (0:00) Introductions and a Quick Trip into the Archives (2:56) Virtual Reality Gets a Reality Check (8:22) Humans Actually Like Embodied-ness (17:28) Knowing How Technology Shapes Us Article: https://wng.org/articles/a-dose-of-reality-1738632435…
 
Modern people spend lots of time, energy, and money on their bodies - whether it be through diet and supplements or working out and exercise. Some become so focused on exercise and nutrition that they idolize their bodies while others are prone to neglect their physical bodies. In this episode, we respond to a listener-submitted question about the role of physical fitness in the life of the Christian. How does the fact that we're going to die (Psalm 90:10) inform a Christian approach to fitness? How can we avoid idolizing or neglecting our physical health? Listen in as we discuss the wisdom Scripture provides in this area. (0:00) Introductions and Talking Physical Fitness (5:50) Grounding the Conversation in Scripture (9:23) What Role Does Physical Fitness Play in the Life of a Christian?

Much has been said and written about the decline of Christianity in America, including on this podcast. But is something changing?

In this episode, we dig into the statistics and analyze the opportunities they present for Christians to be on mission. (0:00) Introductions (1:05) The Data Shows…De-Churching Is Leveling Off (7:50) Some of Our Favorite Research Study Nuggets (12:13) How to Make Sense of This as Church Leaders (24:10) The ONE Thing We Want You to Take with You Article: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/decline-of-christianity-in-the-us-has-slowed-may-have-leveled-off/…
 
On January 10th of this year, book lovers lined up to purchase the newest release in the Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros. These books are part of a genre known as romantic fantasy, or "romantasy" - and its popularity is exploding. But how should Christian women relate to romantasy literature? Recently, a church member reached out to us with some unease about how nonchalantly her Christian friends were imbibing the explicit sexual imagery in these novels. So we invited her to come on the podcast and talk about it! In this episode, Adrienne joins us to discuss the rise of romantasy, the ways that it can steer us away from a godly view of sex and intimacy, and how Christians can better commend what is good, true and beautiful. (0:00) Introductions: Guess Who’s Baaaaaack?? (2:15) The Rise of Romantasy and What Makes it Problematic (11:27) Two Main Romantasy Markets (15:50) Why Escapism is a Powerful Temptation (19:29) What Does it Mean to Engage Culture?

How can we make sense of right-leaning politics in the wake of the 2024 election? Is a second Trump presidency the result of populism? Nationalism? Techno-oligarchy? Something else? Recently, Jake Meador identified four distinct "tribes" on the political right that share some common aims but differ widely in their approaches. Whatever your personal politics, you're going to be living with these tribes for the next few years - so you might as well get to know them. In this episode, we interact with Meador's essay and explore its implications for Christian faithfulness. (0:00) Introduction and Stories (5:43) The Four Tribes on the Political Right, Explained (24:31) How Christian Civic Republicanism Differs from Classical Liberalism (27:02) The Importance of Freedom of Conscience (30:40) A Case Study on Christian Nationalism (35:50) Christianity and the Common Good Article: https://mereorthodoxy.com/after-progressive-neo-liberalism…
 
Over the past decade, leaving the church has been a trend - and the leavers have been mostly left-leaning. But Jake Meador identifies a more recent trend of "right-wing exvangelicals." Whereas the left-wing exvangelicals liked Jesus but weren't sure about the church, right-wing exvangelicals want to keep civic religion but aren't as interested in the way of Jesus. In this episode, we talk about these trends, how we're seeing them in our churches, and how the gospel speaks to them. (0:00) Introductions & Snack Shout-outs (2:49) What is an Ex-vangelical? Definition & History (9:54) The Growing Trend of Right-Wing Exvangelicals (13:00) Politics as a Replacement Religion (18:07) Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing (30:34) C.S.

Artificial Intelligence is generating a lot of interest these days. President Trump even issued an executive order to "sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance." So how should Christians think about AI? Can a machine even be "intelligent?" How does Christian theology help us go beyond the hype to engage the substance of the debate? In this episode, we draw on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas to discuss the nature the mind, the intelligence of angels and demons, and how the Christian tradition helps us evaluate and assess technological progress.

In a recent article for The Atlantic , Derek Thompson writes about the surge in Americans eating alone, shopping alone, and generally doing life alone. In this episode, we discuss his analysis of the problem, talk about the wisdom the church can offer, and explore how the Christian tradition promotes both community and solitude. Article (requires subscription): https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/02/american-loneliness-personality-politics/681091/…
 
There's a bit of a "vibe shift" underway in American culture, and Silicon Valley is one place where it's evident. Recently, a listener passed along an article about the renewed interest in Christianity among tech and venture-capital elites. In this episode, we explore how the spiritual hunger in Silicon Valley relates to a larger cultural trend, and the opportunities it provides for Christians to show the beauty and goodness of the Christian story.

Daniel in the lion's den. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. The handwriting on the wall. These beloved stories are found in the book of Daniel. But Daniel also contains some strange prophecies, some troubling dreams, and some confusing apocalyptic imagery. In this episode, we discuss how this fascinating book of the Bible captures the sweep of the whole biblical story. We explore the date of Daniel, its textual tradition, its place in Jewish apocalyptic literature, and what it tells us about faithful living in exile.…
