Cultural Update: China Rewrites the Bible; Going "No Contact"; AI Tests Academic Honor
This week, Sean and guest co-host Thaddeus Williams discuss:
AI Tests Academic Honor: Princeton’s return to proctored exams shows how generative AI is exposing deeper questions about virtue, trust, and human nature.
China Rewrites Scripture: The Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to reshape the Bible highlight the clash between state power and the lordship of Christ.
Ben Sasse Faces Death: Ben Sasse’s public battle with pancreatic cancer becomes a powerful witness to Christian hope, resurrection, and true dignity in dying.
Cutoff Culture Grows: Rising numbers of Americans, especially Gen Z, are going “no contact,” raising urgent questions about conflict, loneliness, and reconciliation.
Listener Question: When Conversations Stall: Sean and Thad offer practical ways to recognize one-sided conversations and know when wisdom calls for stepping back.
Listener Questions: Practices That Form Faith: Scripture memory and prayer for the Spirit’s fruit stand out as simple, steady habits for deepening spiritual life.
