Description

This week, Sean and Scott discuss: 

  • A murdered teenager was resurrected as a chatbot, raising ethical and theological concerns about AI misuse.
  • A Harvard study suggests that race matters less than it used to for achieving the American dream, with economic mobility improving for Black Americans.
  • Young men in America are falling behind in education, employment, and mental health, facing a crisis of purpose and increasing isolation.
  • Listener question: ethical dilemmas around IVF, including the moral treatment of frozen embryos.
  • Listener question: How Christians can uphold Sunday worship in light of the Sabbath command being fulfilled in Christ.
