Summary

Why can't Christian families do the basic things Scripture commands of them? Chase sits down with Adam Madden, pastor in Brigham City, Utah, father of nine, and author of The Productive Household , for a conversation about the household as an economy. Adam moved his family to one of the least reached regions in the country, spent twenty-five years in pastoral ministry on the envelope system, and then bought a dog boarding business with no money down and leased a trout farm his kids could work. Along the way he came to a conviction: when a man goes to the Word and gathers up his duties as a husband and father, he does not need less time with his family. He needs more. They talk through Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 on leveraging content and context, the objective standard of 1 Timothy 3:4, why "family integrated" is a tool and not the goal, what baby steps actually look like for a two-income family that can't buy a farm, and Baxter's claim that there is no general reformation of the church without a reformation of the household.

Summary

Can a machine be sentient without being conscious? Should a pastor ever let AI touch his sermon? And what does a fourth-century hermit who lived to 105 in the Egyptian desert have to say about Ray Kurzweil? Chase sits down for a third time with C.R. Wiley, pastor, novelist, and author of the new Canon Press book Manmade: Saint Anthony's Guide to Surviving the AI Apocalypse, to work through what AI actually is and what it is doing to us. They cover Harari's claim that humans are hackable animals, the golem legends of Prague as the better metaphor for what we've built, why embodiment and vulnerability are the ground of moral intelligence, where the line falls between therapeutic and vanity uses of technology, and the hard pastoral question of whether AI belongs anywhere near the work of preaching. Wiley is neither a doomer nor a booster. He wants you to use the thing without being used by it.

Summary

Is gender a social construct, or is it more real than your body? C.S. Lewis said the second one and he meant it literally. Chase sits down with Josh Herring, director of the Logres Institute and author of Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, to trace Lewis's account of masculinity and femininity from Perelandra to That Hideous Strength. They cover the linguistic history of "sex" and "gender" in the OED, Simone de Beauvoir and the three waves of feminism, why Lewis's Platonism puts the idea before the biology (and why Chase pushes back as an Aristotelian), what evangelical men's ministry gets wrong, and whether we will still be male and female in the resurrection. A conversation about receiving reality instead of constructing it.
