The Impulsive Urge to Check

As we continue our series studying technology and the church- in this episode, Jason Thacker and Bernie Dake discuss how we’ve arrived at this place in time where we are conditioned be, “attached” to our devices. Again- as we continue to state, technology isn’t bad- but let’s make sure we are using the technology around us in healthy, God-honoring ways.

Assumed and Assimilated

This week in our series, “Discipled by Algorithms”, Bernie Dake and Jason Thacker discuss how quickly we, as a society, have adopted new technologies. In this episode, Jason encourages us to pause and study how new tech may impact our lives. Rather than simply handing our kids new tablets and phones, let’s slow down and teach our kids healthy habits when it comes to technology.

Is Technology Neutral?

As we launch this new series, “Discipled by Algorithms” we are joined by author, professor, podcaster, Jason Thacker.

Jason Thacker serves as the chair of research in technology ethics and director of the research institute at The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The Mission

As we conclude this Easter series, Ruth asks us- “Now what?”. You’ve accepted Christ as your savior. You’ve received salvation. So, now what do we do? What’s the mission?

The Resolution

Do not be afraid. That is the first phrase from the lips of the angel of the Lord in verse 5, “Do not be afraid.”
If we do a quick BibleGateway search for the words “do not fear,” we will find about 30 verses that include this phrase. It is a common emotion if God encourages so many biblical characters with these words. The most common instance is when God calls the story’s protagonist to a particular mission, and his first sentence is, “don’t be afraid.”

The Culmination

The culmination of God’s plan arrived at the cross. In this episode, Major Ruth answers the question, “Why did Jesus have to die?” In truth, there were three main objectives Christ accomplished on the cross.
