You can accomplish more than you think, and here’s how…

Today we reflect on how our social marketplace has changed due to social media, the different types of “connectedness” for human civilization as a result, and the implications of all this on a variety of social rules. In this digital, internet-dominated age, how have our previously-defined societal norms been upended?

After watching some movies from a few decades ago it’s clear that the professional landscape looked very different from how it looks today. Why did that landscape change so much? What have we lost since then and why did we lose it? All this and more we discuss.

Christopher Nolan’s new film Oppenheimer caused me to reflect on technological advancements such as the atomic bomb, AI, and genetic engineering. Do we control scientific advancements, or do they control us? Sometimes it seems like technology has a mind of its own. Should we be concerned about this? If so, how do we control it? Today we discuss all this and more.

Some interactions on Twitter got me thinking about how rap, comedy, and art can oftentimes have greater influence than philosophy and psychology. Today, we talk about why so many listen to Joe Rogan, why suburbanites often enjoy rap, and how the outsider effect can allow art to be the most potent mode of communicating concepts.

A recent uncomfortable social situation prompted me to think about the importance of having courage and resolve. We all face peer-pressure, but how can we be the types of people who stand strong in our convictions, rather than being tossed and turned by fleeting desires or social pressures? Today we sit down to discuss this and more.

We all know someone who just can’t seem to get past, well, the past. Today, inspired by Gatsby, Letters to Malcolm, and some recent observations in my neighborhood, we discuss the dangers of dwelling on the past. How might it be stunting our growth and keeping us from true life contentment?

Letters to Malcolm by C.S. Lewis

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Our recent Bible study on the book of Job, along with a read through C.S. Lewis’ Letters to Malcolm, has gotten me thinking a lot about suffering and prayer. How are they related, and what is the proper Christian attitude towards both? How do we endure suffering Biblically? Could suffering itself an opportunity for learning and growth? Today I share my thoughts on these and more.

Letters to Malcolm by C.S. Lewis

Perhaps you’ve come to believe God exists—great! But now what? With literally thousands of religions, how do we know which is correct? Today, we walk through the main reasons, both philosophically and experientially, I personally have become convinced of Christianity’s unique truth above all other world religions.
