TSR talks about how our relationships were created by God to reflect His character. Come join The Socially Remote!

In this episode, we briefly discuss the writing and publishing process for Steven's book, The Relational God. The book then becomes a springboard for a conversation about our identities as children, spouses, siblings, and parents. We discuss the Biblical commands for each of those relationships and how those relationships are designed to reflect and teach us about the nature and character of God.

TSR talks social media, cultural engagement, and the church. Come join The Socially Remote!

We continue our discussion of social media with guest Grumpy Dan from the Deck the Hallmark podcast. He pushes back a bit against our views on social media and suggests it can be a tool for meaningfully engaging with others. We discuss how the church might better practice faithful presence by fostering genuine relationships and proclaiming truth in a sea of relativity.

The guys talk social media (from which they are socially remote)!

In this episode, we define social media and provide some helpful stats. Matt, David, and Steven then share their own personal experiences with social media, their observations of the various platforms, and how social media has affected them. They then dive into the question of what could be for the next generation. In episode 4, they’ll ask (and hopefully answer), “How should we then live?” in light of social media’s prevalence and influence.

Deep Dive segment introduction from "Dive" by Steven Curtis Chapman courtesy of The Stable Collective.

Does it ever seem like the longer you adult, the less social you become? The responsibilities of being a spouse, a parent, and an employee often leave us with little time for meaningful interaction outside our home and office, and as a result, many of us aren’t even remotely social. We try to fill the void with outlets like Facebook and Twitter, but we soon discover social media isn’t as social as it sounds, and the effort we put into soliciting likes and comments doesn’t produce stronger relationships with other people like we’d hoped.

This podcast is an attempt by a pastor, a lawyer, and a generalist to combat the growing culture of social isolation by making time for meaningful conversations about life, theology, and the church. We want to create space in our lives to engage in regular discussion and debate with those around us, and we hope this podcast will encourage you to do the same.

So join Matt, David, and Steven as we take a deep dive on the issues that matter to us and try to put real conversation back in its rightful place.
