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.

    Finding Meaning in a Fragmented World with Jake Meador

    Brad Edwards, John Houmes, and Jake Meador explore the cultural restlessness and disenchantment prevalent in contemporary society. They discuss how technology, particularly smartphones, has impacted identity and belonging, leading to a sense of exile in place. The conversation delves into the atrophy of social connections and the role of the church in providing meaning and community in a disenchanted world. They also examine the mental energy required to maintain relationships and the tension between the desire for control and the search for transcendence. In this conversation, the speakers explore the themes of community building, the role of the church in personal development, the ethics surrounding the value of life, and the importance of caring for the vulnerable in society. They discuss how spiritual growth is often misconstrued as self-actualization and emphasize the need for ordinary acts of kindness and connection in a disenchanted world. The conversation culminates in a reflection on how individuals can create a sense of home and community through simple, sincere gestures of care and hospitality.

    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.
