    Divinely Uninspired - 085 - Social, It Be Done

    Boredom, Social Media, and Church Life: Anxiety, Algorithms, and Easter Service Times On the Divine Uninspired Podcast, Paul, Penny, and Jeremy chat about recent chaos including surgeries, a lost-and-found dog, and travel delays through the Orlando airport, which sparks a discussion about boredom, silence, and constant stimulation. They talk about social media habits (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram), comment culture versus real conversation, AI-generated fake articles, staged online content, and how online engagement can become the lowest form of relationship. Jeremy shares a story about a conservative church criticizing jazzercise in a bulletin, and they debate how churches and businesses should use social media without chasing fame or performative goodness. The episode ends with Journey church announcements for Easter services: regular Sunday services at 10:00 and 11:15, an 8:30 donuts "sunrise" service, and a Thursday 7:00 PM Easter service (April 2), with streaming available. 00:00 Cold Open Hip Hop Talk 01:04 New Chairs New Vibes 01:40 March Of Disaster Updates 03:59 Orlando Trip Airport Chaos 06:21 Boredom And Busy Lives 12:56 Silence Over Stimulation 16:36 Dog Talk And Nicknames 19:28 Babies Smoking And Stories 23:06 Church Bulletins To Social Media 26:04 YouTube Stats And Streaming Stress 26:47 Mindless YouTube Habits 27:25 Nineties NBA Nostalgia 28:19 All Star Weekend Letdown 28:44 YouTube Premium And Music 30:10 Facebook Stats And Surveys 31:31 Phone Screening And Office Drama 33:00 Social Media Harms And Fakes 36:20 Influencers And Authenticity 39:33 Church Social Media Dilemma 45:31 Comments Echo Chambers 50:22 Back To Real Connection 55:21 Impulse Control And Drafts 57:09 Easter Services Wrap Up

    Ep 84 - Touching International Grass

    Super Bowl Talk, Halftime Controversy, Saudi Entertainment, and a Guatemala Mission Recap The hosts joke about who would play them in a biopic, then recap the Super Bowl as a boring game with disappointing, AI-heavy commercials and debate the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny versus a Turning Point/TBN alternative that included Kid Rock and Brantley Gilbert, arguing the backlash was more cultural than moral and fueled by social-media rage. They discuss the NFL's business motives and global expansion, then shift to Saudi Arabia's spending on American entertainment through events like the Riyadh Comedy Festival and LIV Golf, including criticism of "PR washing." They touch on U.S. beating Canada in Olympic hockey, a curling cheating clip, and odd sports they've seen on streaming TV. Jeremy then summarizes a Guatemala trip delivering backpacks, bowls and cups, running a vision clinic, cultural tours in Antigua, meeting sponsored children, and encouraging sponsors to visit; Penny also recaps taking kids to CIY Superstar. 00:00 Biopic Casting Game 00:48 Jeremy Lookalikes Debate 01:36 Will Ferrell Vibes 02:51 Celebrity Lookalike Apps 05:07 Super Bowl Recap 06:31 Commercials Letdown 08:51 Halftime Show Takes 09:36 Bad Bunny Strategy 11:35 Turning Point Controversy 23:37 Rage Sells Online 25:41 Alternative Show Flop 28:51 Spectacle And Outrage 29:25 Bad Bunny And Wrestling 30:52 SNL Then And Now 31:29 Saudi Entertainment Money 40:21 Olympic Hockey Talk 42:55 Curling Cheating Drama 46:47 Weird Sports And Olympics 50:09 Guatemala Mission Recap 54:50 Why You Should Go 58:07 CIY Weekend And Wrap
