BeyondUCultural Bundling and Digital Distraction | Josh McNall | BeyondU S3E32Josh McNall returns to discuss intersection of theology, technology, and childhood development, particularly in light of Jonathan Haidt's book 'The Anxious Generation.' We discuss the implications of smartphone use on mental health, the importance of embodiment in theology, and practical steps for managing technology use in a faith context.
Then we explore the dangers of groupthink and the concept of cultural bundling as defined by Alan Jacobs in his book "How to Think," and the significance of engaging with diverse perspectives to foster understanding and connection in a fragmented society.

We talk about her new book, Bearing God’s Name: Why Sinai Still Matters (IVP Academic, 2019).
This work focuses on why the Old Testament (and specifically the Torah) still matters for Christians.

Rethinking FaithAtonement Series Part 2 - With Josh McNallThis week we are joined by Josh McNall for part 2 of our Atonement series. Josh recently released a new book called "The Mosaic of Atonement".
Modern debates of this doctrine have tended toward either a defensive hierarchy, (one model is singled out as most important), or a disconnected plurality, (multiple images are affirmed but with no order of arrangement). McNall pushes back against both of these approaches and argues for a reintegration of four famous "pieces" of atonement doctrine through the governing image of a Christ-shaped mosaic.
While no one model is set above or...

McNall presents an integrated account of the various proposals.
