    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.

    Have Fun Staying Humble - Part 3 (Bitcoin and Sin for Bitcoiners #9)

    We finish our discussion of humility. Bitcoiners should be careful that they don’t assume that evil is just “out there” somewhere. We are all sinful, and so all of us should be profoundly humble. We need to realize that whatever blessings or privileges we do have are entirely due to the grace of God. Like Jesus taught, we need to have a child-like dependency upon God rather than self-righteously patting ourselves on the back and telling ourselves how great we are for having figured out bitcoin before other people do.
