This week, our heroes take a break from solving the world's problems, and instead kick back, relax, and count their technological blessings.

We discuss freedom of speech online and the recent movements related to terms of service, Change the Terms and Contributor Covenant.

We reflect on the state of technology over the centuries and how people reacted to new eras of technology in essentially the same way.

The great digital vs physical Bible debate.

Ligonier just released a study on the state of theology today, and it’s…not what you would call good. We talk about the stats, marvel and recoil at the results, and speculate on how technology may be shaping how we interact with theology in general.

China has a new technological marvel it’s been testing and rolling out in the last year or two, their social credit system. What exactly is it, how does it work, and what are implications for both normal citizens, but also for the Christians?

As a society, we’ve gotten very reliant on our smartphones. Very, VERY reliant. So much so that you might think we have a problem. Well, fear not! Google and Apple are here to help our digital wellbeing with recent software, and that’s what we’re talking about this week. Tune it to hear the horror of just how much time we spend on our devices!

Another September, another iPhone announcement from Apple. Seems like a good time to reflect on our uses of smartphones and their impact on our lives.

Ben brings us the checkered history of MoviePass and similar services in the US.
