    390: John Inazu on Why People Don't Trust Mainstream Media, Government, and Pastors, Anti-Intellectualism Uncovered, AI and Deep Fakes, and How to Disagree with People Effectively

    Joining us today is law professor and author John Inazu. We will unpack the deeper reasons why people don't trust mainstream media, government, and sadly, even many pastors. We're also going to discuss a common cultural lean toward anti-intellectualism, and the influence of AI and deep fakes upon our psyches which directly affect our mental and emotional health. And in an election year, we're going to take time to learn communication strategies to disagree with others more effectively...and respectively. All of these topics have an influence on our mental and emotional health, and that's why I brought John to the show.

    388: Griffin Gooch on Why Gen-Z Wants Truth, A Generation That's Burned Out by Conflicting Narratives, Fighting Cynicism, and Training Ourselves in Discomfort

    Joining us today is a 26-year-old Gen-Z writer named Griffin Gooch.

So today, Griffin and I sit down to talk about his generation, specifically why Gen-Z wants truth and why they are burned out by conflicting narratives from the myriad of echo chambers in our society. Also, Griffin sheds light on fighting cynicism and why we need to train ourselves in discomfort.

Episode 387 Win Today

I had my best friend send me this episode, when I needed it the very most. The bold hard truths is what everyone needs to hear, no matter what sin we are “stuck in” and what we feel is hard to surrender to God and Others. I wrote 4 pages of notes from this single podcast, and 2 of the biggest takeaways: “ A soul fully known and surrendered will not decay by God and others if the truth is not revealed be okay with dying with your secrets.” And anchoring our hearts in point of the truth: ( Word of God) is Freedom. Thank you Jeanine and Christopher for this gold. 1 episode, to now plan to listen as much as possible.

Always insightful

Chris is an amazing interviewer. He asks incredible questions and goes deep into spaces the average podcaster wouldn’t touch. I appreciate how earnest he is in thinking of how his guest can best speak into the lives of his audience. He truly understands the power of a transformed life and how to encourage listeners no matter the season or stage of life they are in.
