  • Market Mania and Moral Formation, with Glenn Butner
    Mar 5 2025

    In this episode, co-hosts Andrew Noble and Joel Jacob speak with Dr. Glenn Butner about the intersection of theology, economics, and moral formation. They discuss how markets function, the moral implications of economic systems, and the role of trust in transactions. The conversation emphasizes the need for Christians to engage thoughtfully with economic practices and the importance of understanding the complexities of market design. Butner's book, 'Work Out Your Salvation,' serves as a foundation for discussing how faith can inform economic behavior and moral formation.

    Takeaways (AI Generated with Human Oversight):

    • Markets are not just economic systems; they are technologies that shape our interactions and form who we are.
    • Incentives can significantly alter behavior, sometimes in unexpected ways.
    • Christian engagement with economics should be nuanced and informed by scripture.
    • The church has a role in shaping economic practices and moral formation.
    • A doctrine like Common Grace can help us make sense of how markets can form us in good ways.
    • Understanding social sin is crucial in navigating market dynamics.
    • Christians should analyze specific markets rather than endorse or condemn entire systems.
    • Moral formation can occur outside the church through various societal interactions.
    • Every individual has a responsibility to consider the ethical implications of their economic choices.

  • A Tech Agenda for the Family, with Brad Littlejohn and Clare Morell
    Feb 19 2025

    Technology, particularly AI, poses a threat to the necessity of humanity. We see this in students using AI to bypass learning, self-driving vehicles replacing human drivers, AI competing with medical diagnosticians, and tablets which aim to replace traditional teaching methods. The question isn't hypothetical – these developments are already challenging human roles in education, transportation, healthcare, and beyond.

    We don't just need to respond. We need a vision. We need direction. We need a New Technology Agenda that values the human person, and there is no value in persons if they have no place in families.

    A couple weeks ago, Brad Littlejohn, Clare Morell, and a team of others published A Future for the Family: A New Technology Agenda for the Right. It includes ten principles designed to serve the family.

    The Ten Principles (the original New Agenda as published in First Things).

    In today's episode, Andrew and Joel discuss this "New Agenda," how Christians working in technology could adopt it, and a way forward for a kind of limited dynamic innovation in North America.
