Scott is joined by Greg Ganssle, Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, to discuss: 

• World Cup Faith Goes Public: World Cup stars from the U.S., Brazil, England, Belgium, and beyond bring Christian faith into the public spotlight with unusual openness and confidence.
• American Christianity Faces Its History: A New Yorker essay sparks a wide-ranging look at how revivalism, evangelicalism, politics, and cultural engagement shaped the church in America.
• When Faith is Just an App: Christian apps may help people start spiritual habits, but screen-based faith can also flatten worship, prayer, Scripture, and community into another consumer experience.
• The No-Human Future: Radical visions of a no-human future expose the stakes of human exceptionalism, transhumanism, and the Christian claim that people are more than machines.
• Listener Question: Does Church Discipline Still Matter?: A listener question wrestles with whether church discipline can still work when people can simply leave one church and find another.
• Listener Followup on Dad Brain Article: A physician listener challenges claims about fatherhood and brain health, prompting a careful reminder that good science depends on strong methodology.
• Listener Question: Detransition Questions Demand Courage: A final listener question raises concern about medical and cultural pressure around detransitioning and the need for careful, compassionate engagement.
