Everything Just Changed Everything Just Changed

How does transformation happen? Is there more to therapy-speak online? What do we do with the toxic fruit of American Christian discipleship? Is there an answer to expressive individualism?

In this wide-ranging conversation, Bryce Hales and Ashley Hales, a pastor and PhD, sit down with Curt Thompson, MD, who deftly combines interpersonal neurobiology and Christian faith. We talk about institutions, the lack of fruitfulness amongst Christians, and developing a Christian imagination. A must-listen: thoughtful, warm-hearted with practical tips to help you love your people and your place.

The Cartographers Podcast combines academic expertise with pastoral heart to help 21st century Christian leaders chart a way through the changing cultural landscape. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

We all know what it feels like to live in a "liminal age," but describing it is surprisingly difficult. Why? Because it is both an acceleration of something familiar AND it is even more dehumanizing than we thought. In what we hope is an incredibly validating conversation, Brad and John outline the 3 Primary Symptoms of Life in a Liminal Age (Loneliness, Loss of Capacity, and Disorientation) and lay a foundation for a 3-Part mini-series on "remapping culture" in all its surprisingly precedentedimplications...

It's one thing to experience a change in circumstances, but something wholly different when we experience such a fundamental change in values and assumptions that we no longer HAVE a social consensus to fall back on. It's as if the rules of the game changed at half-time, and now we're playing a sport we don't even recognize.
