We've found ourselves in a cultural moment of increased virtual connection to global issues. We have unlimited access not only to information, but also to the voices and opinions of anyone we choose to follow—often who are people we've never met. In addition, increased relational separation from others has turned our personal hot takes into grenades to launch at each other from across the internet. The complexities of issues are lost in favor of Tweetable statements meant to evoke a reaction or prove a point. We've lost the flavors of conversation and relationship including context, experience, human nature, and critical thinking.

So, we're starting a mini-series called "Beyond Hot Takes" to help us go a step beyond the current hot takes of our culture and to take a deeper look at real issues behind specific topics. We're going to interview guests on topics like Critical Race Theory, women's leadership in the church, gender and sexuality, and government control.

We hope that these conversations don't just add to the soundbites already filling your life. Our goal is to model these kinds of conversations about complex issues, so that you feel better equipped to have similar conversations within your own relationships about issues that are important to you and others in your life.

This episode was recorded on February 18, 2020.

Before COVID hit, we were planning as High Point Church to do another conference on sexuality as a follow-up to our 2019 sexuality everywhere conference. Part of that conference was a teenager track, and in order to gather information about what was actually helpful for teenagers to learn about, we met up a with a group of college students to ask them questions about the things they did and didn't know about sex, and what they would have loved to have known coming into college.
