Finding Meaning in a Fragmented World with Jake Meador


Listen Later

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.
