How do you move forward when norms and expectations are changing faster than you can blink? With institutional trust at an all-time low, leaders on life support, and individualism compromising every inch of society, many of us are asking if it’s even possible (or sane) to build something that lasts. Join Brad Edwards and John Houmes as they dig beneath the surface of rapidly-shifting culture and explore how leaders and the people they serve can thrive in a post-everything world.

    Best Of: Outsourcing Virtue To Uncaring Algorithms with Michael Sacasas

    In this episode, Brad Edwards, John Houmes, and our guest Michael Sacasas explore the complex issues surrounding the outsourcing of virtue in the age of social media. We delve into the challenges of moderating content on online platforms and the blurred boundaries of free speech. Drawing parallels to historical and bureaucratic settings, we discuss the difficulties of governing large communities. Throughout the conversation, we discuss the consequences of relying on algorithms and the impact on individual judgment and responsibility. We highlight the overwhelming abundance of information in the digital media landscape, the shift from a narrative experience to a database experience, and the importance of media literacy in navigating conflicting opinions and finding the truth. The discussion also touches on the pressure to speak on social media, the use of emotionally charged language for attention, and the tendency to default to tribal thinking. We emphasize the need for critical thinking, patience, and humility when encountering these complex issues. L. M. Sacasas is associate director of the Christian Study Center of Gainesville, Florida and author of The Convivial Society, a newsletter about technology and society.

    Best Of: Canoeing the Mtns w/Tod Bolsinger

    There are few voices on leadership with as consistent of a track record in anticipating needed shifts in our approach to leadership as Dr. Tod Bolsinger. As the author of multiple books (including one we've referenced heavily - "Canoeing the Mountains") and Associate Professor of Leadership Formation at Fuller Seminary, he brings a rare combination of academic depth and practical breadth to "rethinking leadership." Listen in as we pick his brain on everything from the need for institutions to adapt, the uselessness of "casting vision" in a liminal age, and how to know when we need "build greenhouses" or "burn our canoes" to draw new mental maps...

    Best Of: How Anxiety Deforms Us with Steve Cuss

    On this episode, join Brad Edwards, John Houmes, and guest Steve Cuss who shares about his personal journey of understanding anxiety from a systems perspective. He discusses how recognizing his own anxiety patterns and the false beliefs that fueled them helped him lead with less reactivity. Steve also touches on how admitting mistakes publicly freed him to be human with his community and built trust. You'll learn about the importance he places on prioritizing community care over being the sole caregiver, and how that empowered others in his church to support one another through challenging seasons. It's a thoughtful discussion around managing anxiety from the inside out in order to better shepherd God's people. Was this episode helpful or encouraging in some way? Great!

    Best Of: Intuitional Identities with Tara Isabella Burton

    What does J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter function as an “Intuitional Religion?" How might "fandom" be scratching our itch for community, ritual, meaning, or purpose? Is “hustle culture” our striving to achieve The Good Life (TM), or a symptom of having given up hope of ever receiving it? In this wide ranging conversation with Tara Isabella Burton, we explore the slow boil shift of American religious identity from Institutionalism to Intuitionism, and how the vacuum of institutional trust has been flooded with every kind of “weird internet, horseshoe theory land mine.”  Plus: why we should ALL “touch grass.” CORRECTION: At one point Brad said that Hogwarts Legacy was on track to be "the best-selling video game of all time." That was only kinda accurate: it has already broken the best-selling INITIAL RELEASE of a video game of all time (not total sales). A minor distinction, but we care too much about getting the facts right not to correct the record. Was this episode helpful or encouraging in some way? Great!
