How can we resist the gamification of our economy — and help others do the same?
The advent of digital technology has incentivized ease and encouraged isolation. Young people, especially young men, have become socially risk-averse — spending more time alone and cultivating negative habits on their devices. In this episode, we engage a Derek Thompson Substack article that explores the connection between online betting and social isolation. We discuss the fight for young men's souls, the need for embodied discipleship, and how the church can be a counter-cultural champion of relationships and community.
Chapters:
(0:00) Introductions: Keep it Up, Young Christian Men
(3:07) We’ve Forgotten How to Feel Lonely
(7:05) The Loss of the Pro-Social Script
(16:19) Why Embodied Discipleship Matters
(21:13) Disempowering the Digitization of Our Lives
(27:33) Concluding Reflections
