    The Importance of Knowing Your Story (The Christian Bitcoin Podcast #26)

    Tim and Ben continue their mini-series on helpful components of healthy leadership. In this episode, Ben shares the power of “story work” in understanding God and yourself better.

    The Local Church and The Digital Age - Brad Edwards (The Christian Bitcoin Podcast #25)

    We interview Brad Edwards, a church planter, author, and podcaster in Boulder, Colorado, about how the current financial system makes urban church planting particularly difficult and how something like bitcoin endowment funds could help churches establish a long-term, faithful presence in their cities. Brad summarizes his case for why the local church matters so much in an age of isolation, even as so many assume that church institutions are outdated and unnecessary. We also talk about how social media and AI present unique challenges to the spiritual health of individuals and communities.

    Tower of Babel Mania (The Christian Bitcoin Podcast #22)

    Amidst lots of discussion right now about whether A.I. will turn our world into something like a doomed Tower of Babel, we look at the original story in the biblical book of Genesis. It illustrates the human tendency toward arrogantly rejecting God by means of human unity and power. We discuss how this arrogance can even appear as a well-intentioned desire to get God to be “with” us, doing what we want.

    Michael Saylor on Religion (The Christian Bitcoin Podcast #21)

    Tim and Jim discuss Michael Saylor’s recent interview on the What Bitcoin Did podcast, especially his dismissive treatment of religion and Christianity as merely a power play. This is a common but profoundly mistaken view of the universal human longing for God and of Christian history + doctrine in particular.

    Paul Miller returns to the Christian Bitcoin Podcast. Paul is a software developer working with AI on a daily basis, and he’s built bitcoin wallets, is deeply involved in his local Bitcoin community and local church, and met Tim and Jim through the Thank God for Bitcoin conference. In this conversation Paul and Jim talk about the current state of AI in software development, and implications of using AI at home, for school, and in Church. Paul is not worried about AI safety and thinks the energy competition will be good for Bitcoin in the end. He also gives some provocative career advice to high school students you may be considering going to college.
