A Drink With a Friend

Why is In-Person Community Better Than Virtual?


Listen Later

Seth is joined by Myles Werntz, a professor of theology, and in this chat they unpack what's meant by community, a word we toss around a lot in our culture. What's the real difference between in-person and virtual communities? What do screens provide a community when they're needed, and what do they rob us of when they're not? And what's the takeaway for our day-to-day lives?


p.s. - Seth & Tsh will be back together next episode!
