    Untrustworthy: A Conversation with Bonnie Kristian [Re-Release]

    Episode Notes Seasoned journalist Bonnie Kristian believes America is in the midst of a knowledge crisis that the church cannot afford to ignore. In fact, she thinks it could be the most pressing and unprecedented challenge for contemporary discipleship. Her book Untrustworthy: The Knowledge Crisis Breaking Our Brains, Polluting Our Politics, and Corrupting Christian Community describes the multiple forces contributing to an atmosphere characterized by mounting misinformation, mistrust, and polarization. Bonnie joins Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss why Christians need to understand the crisis and what measures we can take to resist it and its destructive effects.

    When AI Means Artificial Intimacy: A Conversation with Michael Sacasas

    Episode Notes For several years, Michael Sacasas, executive director of the Christian Study Center of Gainesville, has reflected on and written about the effects of emerging technologies on us individually and societally.

    You're Only Human [And That's Alright!]: A Conversation with Kelly M. Kapic [Re-Release]

    Episode Notes “Gift” and “good” aren’t words that usually come to mind when we think about our limitations. Dr. Kelly M. Kapic, author of You’re Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God’s Design and Why That’s Good News, thinks this reveals a serious theological problem, writing that denying our finitude “distorts our view of God and what Christian spirituality should look like.” In this episode he joins Dr. Keith Plummer to explain how.

    My Rescue from Psychedelic Devastation: A Conversation with Ashley Lande

    Episode Notes Disenchanted by the atheism she embraced in her teenage years, Ashley Lande turned to the world of psychedelic drugs and Eastern mysticism in search of meaning, satisfaction, and spiritual reality. Though her desires went unfulfilled, and she experienced the very opposite of what she was looking for, she kept returning to mushrooms and LSD. In her book _The Thing that Would Make Everything Okay Forever, _she writes: “Psychedelics made me believe I could have it all. Glory without submission. Transcendence without descent. Knowledge without trauma. Freedom without discipline. New life without death. It was all a lie.” She joined Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss her journey and how the Savior she long resisted found and delivered her.

    Ministry in a Post-Everything World: A Conversation with Brad Edwards

    Episode Notes The velocity with which culture changes challenges evangelism and discipleship—something Brad Edwards, planter and lead pastor of The Table Church in Lafayette, Colorado, thinks about a lot. In this episode, he joined Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss lessons he continues to learn while ministering where people are “open to the idea of God but very turned off to the idea of church.” Other subjects they discuss are anti-institutionalism, spiritual consumerism, and why Christians need to consider the formative powers of our technological practices. Brad also briefly previews his forthcoming book, The Reason for Church: Why the Body of Christ Still Matters in an Age of Anxiety, Division, and Radical Individualism.

    Social Media Isn't Free: A Conversation with Chris Martin [Re-Release]

    Episode Notes Chris Martin, author of Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media, says social media has become so pervasive that not even non-users can fully escape it. He joins Dr. Keith Plummer to talk about how social media is influencing how we think and feel about life in largely negative ways and—most importantly, what Christians can do to resist. His is not a call to totally reject social media but rather, a call to greater awareness, intentionality, and wisdom.

    Created for Community, Settling for Connection: A Conversation with Felicia Wu Song [Re-Release]

Forming biblical wisdom requires being aware of how our technological practices might be shaping us in ways contrary to that of Christ. Listen to Dr. Felicia Wu Song, author of Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence and Place in the Digital Age, discuss these important matters with Dr. Keith Plummer.
