The Abolition of Man

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.

Andrew and Joel sit down with Scott Hurst, a self-described 'average' Toronto pastor, to hear how the AI conversation actually sounds between pastors. Less 'should AI write your sermon' (nobody is) and more rental agreements, meeting minutes, the capacity for mystery, and the pain points a shepherd should never automate away.

Wyatt Graham returns to read Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas — not the Pope “coming out against AI” but Catholic social teaching applied to the new thing. Technology is never neutral under the condition of the conditioners, the few oppress the many through its instruments, and prudential reasoning is the one thing AI cannot do.

Automation, vocation, and whether God cares if a machine takes your work.

Why faithful Christians land differently on tech, and how to hold disagreement well.

A bracing theological conversation on spiritual realities, AI, and the limits of the demonic.

When trust in the machine slips into worship, and how a Psalm-shaped discernment names it.

A self-reflective episode on the show's own purpose, and whether faithful witness is better served by words or by building.

Jess Joustra traces the WWJD bracelet back to its theological roots, and asks what it actually means to imitate Christ in the age of technology.

Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra on a theology of play: when do games simply delight us, when do they disciple us, and how should parents think about both?

As Musk circles Twitter, the hosts read the platform's decontextualized speech against ancient wisdom about news, words, and the formation of attention.

Why does a voice in your ears feel like a friend? The hosts on podcasting, parasocial closeness, and the difference between consuming and creating.

What does Silicon Valley believe about the meaning of life? The series opens by reading Mark Zuckerberg's vision of work against a theology of vocation, idolatry, and rest.
