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.
Nathan Sutherland of Gospel Tech rejoins all three hosts to talk parenting and video games. Why some games are engineered to overstimulate, how to tell whether a game is the cause of a problem or just a symptom, and a RESET framework (relationships, emotions, sleep, enjoyment, time) for discerning when play forms a child well and when it quietly pulls them away.
