Is cultural pessimism destroying our society? In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Natasha Moore, author of "The Pleasures of Pessimism," we explore why 56% of young people believe humanity is doomed and how this mindset is affecting our mental health, relationships, and faith.

Discover:

  • Why cultural pessimism leads to dangerous polarization
  • The difference between healthy skepticism and paralyzing doom
  • How Christians should balance biblical realism with hope
  • Practical ways to break free from media-induced anxiety
  • Why both optimists and pessimists are needed in the church

Dr. Moore shares insights on navigating the tension between acknowledging real problems while maintaining hope for the future. This conversation will challenge your perspective on faith, culture, and the role of hope in uncertain times.

Keywords: cultural pessimism, Christian hope, mental health, media anxiety, optimism vs pessimism, biblical worldview, social division, climate anxiety, faith and culture
