In this episode, Mike sits down with author and thinker Brett McCracken (The Wisdom Pyramid, Scrolling Ourselves to Death) to talk about preaching and pastoring in a skeptical, hyper-online world. Brett makes a clear case for why information ≠ wisdom and how leaders can build a healthier “diet” for their souls and churches-starting with Scripture, rooted in the Church, refreshed by creation, deepened through books, and formed by beauty - with technology in its proper place.They unpack preaching in a “post-truth” world as a surprising gospel opportunity; the rhythms that make space for wisdom (time, reflection, community); how nature, books, and beauty reorient our loves; why phones/social feeds belong at the top of the pyramid as treats—not staples; and the hopeful signs of Gen Z’s renewed hunger for substance and the local church. If you’re feeling the whiplash of constant content and want a path back to clarity, depth, and discipleship, this conversation will steady your steps.Learn More:The Gospel Coalition: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/ECN: engagechurchnetwork.com
