The destruction of the Kalhovka dam in Ukraine has set off a chain reaction that will likely culminate in a full-scale ecological disaster. Join us as we explore this latest development in the war-torn region of Ukraine.

The recent debate between Dr. James Tour of Rice University and skeptical YouTuber, Dave Farina, is a bracing emblem of our time. Characterized more by character assassination, belligerence, and agitation than generosity, even-handedness, and careful argumentation, the event raises the question of whether public debate is still a viable option in our increasingly shrill culture. In this episode, we explore the question of whether it’s possible to bracket one’s religious convictions for the sake of open-minded inquiry.

In the estimation of our cultural elites, Christians are pariahs—people holding to beliefs that are not only outdated and irrelevant, but actively harmful. For those of us who follow Christ, how do we practice the Holy Spirit-inspired art of treating people with this mindset as our neighbors?

Predictably, their antics are as sacrilegious as they are juvenile. On the one hand, there’s ample cause for alarm when the sacred is profaned on a popular level. But what about laughter? Is there a time to laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of our human foibles without trivializing their severity? Join us as we explore these questions.

We recorded this episode on May 24th, Bob Dylan’s 82nd birthday. Since Cameron can’t contain his inner fanboy, we opted to use the occasion as an opportunity to discuss the dangers of claiming Christian celebrities in an effort to boost the credibility of the church. We hope you enjoy the episode. Now go spin some Dylan.

As the tributes continue to pour in for the late Tim Keller, we wanted to add our own words of appreciation for the man. Join us as we explore Tim Keller’s legacy and consider what distinguished him as a minister in today’s world.

Do you need a mentor? Should you have a mentor? And what, for that matter, does a mentor do? Have we said "mentor" enough? Join us for a discussion of mentorship and its place in the Christian life.

Given this staggering number, hospitals across the country are assembling their own police forces and work is underway to intensify laws protecting these spaces. In the past, medical facilities were viewed mainly as places to seek medical attention. Today, the expectations are higher. In this episode, we dive into some of the reasons for the growing desperation surrounding these facilities.

Today, many incisive thinkers speak of Aldous Huxley’s dystopian classic as a prophecy. “Welcome to our Brave New World,” they say with a grimace. In this episode, we explore Huxley’s novel and consider some of the ways it parallels (and departs from) our cultural moment.
