Pastor Gabe Kasper explores how our networked, globalized world has fractured into competing narratives about meaning and purpose—and why the gospel offers the transcendent perspective we desperately need.
• Aiming for happiness directly will never work; we must aim for something greater
• Modern culture offers four primary narratives: moralism, hedonism, therapeutic mindset, and nihilism
• Leaders grow through the books they read and the people they meet
• Pastor as curator—reading widely to serve people in an information-saturated age
• We weren't designed to know everything happening globally, which creates unmanageable anxiety
• Seeking identity in political tribes leads to moralism rather than gospel freedom
• Our deepest longing is to be fully seen yet fully loved—something only Christ offers
• The revolutionary concept that God cares about individuals, not just collective groups
• Finding the "second naïveté"—returning to simple gospel truths with deeper understanding
• In our extremes: to the hedonist, "you will die"; to the nihilist, "you will live"
