**RZIM: Vital Signs Broadcasts**

Hosted by RZIM apologist Cameron McAllister, Vital Signs is an exploration of the major cultural ideas, issues, and works of art that are shaping current conversations. It’s not just a place to learn how to be culturally informed; it’s a place to learn what’s worth celebrating in contemporary life. If guarding what you pay attention to is a way of guarding the integrity of your thought, then Vital Signs aims to show you what’s worth your attention, as well as what’s worth talking about.

Hope Beyond the Narrow Confines of the Self, Part 3 Jul 13, 2017

Show notes

From 13 Reasons Why to S-Town, the topic of suicide is fast becoming a mainstay in popular culture. 13 Reasons Why offers a particularly robust challenge to the carefree individualism that frequently characterizes our thinking. But why are we so preoccupied with self-destruction in the first place? After all, we're healthier, more connected, and more comfortable than we've ever been. Why does our cultural moment seem so very sad? In the final episode in this series, we consider the Christian response to cultural despair.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

But why are we so preoccupied with self-destruction in the first place? After all, we're healthier, more connected, and more comfortable than we've ever been. Why does our cultural moment seem so very sad? This episode considers the inescapably relational nature of human beings, a fact that runs to our cultural assumptions about rugged individualism.
