September 30, 2020 The State of Theology (Part 1)
What do Americans believe about God, Jesus, the Bible, sin, and salvation? How has it changed over the years? Does it really matter? What about within the church? Oren and David begin a two-part series where they discuss the implications of the State of Theology survey conducted by Ligonier and Lifeway in 2020. What we believe, or don't believe for that matter, has ripple effects on our thoughts, actions, political and economic systems, and even how we view each other - and that makes it footnotable.

September 23, 2020 Digital Etiquette (or How Not to be a Jerk Online)
Discussions online can turn ugly real fast. People embrace the anonymity and disconnected nature of social media and feel free to let people have it. It can be incredibly toxic. Sadly, many who call themselves Christians act the exact same way online. Rather than being countercultural, they embrace the fallen culture of online interaction. Thankfully, there's a better way.
How we act and engage with others online is vitally important and speaks volumes about what we actually believe about Jesus and His Word. Our status as ambassadors for Christ is at stake online - and that makes it footnotable.

September 09, 2020 All The News That Isn't (Part 2 of Navigating the Digital Age)
How has news changed over the past 30 years? Do facts and data still have value or has there been a shift to opinion and emotion? Am I being manipulated without knowing it? Research shows that significant shifts in how news is produced and disseminate have occurred in our society. These shifts impact how we perceive and respond to the world around us. Understanding these shifts helps us gain a better understanding of the current hostility and divisiveness associated with the news today - and that makes it footnotable.
