We Need to Talk About Cars

From processed food to 3D-printed meals, the Hungry Theologian joins to ask what technology has done to how we eat, and to our care for creation.

Smart thermostats and sensors promise a frictionless home, but what is all that optimization forming us toward? A conversation about the hearth, convenience, and love.

Crossway gave the show permission to play a whole chapter of Andrew Wilson’s Remaking the World, “Machines: Becoming Industrialized,” read by the author himself. All three hosts then respond: whether the AI moment is a second Industrial Revolution or what Joel would rather call an autonomy revolution, why Austin thinks the internet is still the closer analogy, why the Luddite comparison turns dark around data centers, and what the invention of marketing did to who gets to speak in a church.

SEO is dead, so Andrew reframes the whole question: communication is how we love our neighbor, which means choosing the right medium. The hosts work through email, group texts, church apps like Planning Center, a Google Voice text ministry, and the new robots.txt era of search.
