2023: Here Comes the Sun? Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

In this week’s news roundup, host Mike Cosper and editor in chief Russell Moore look back at 2022 and cast a hopeful eye toward the coming year. Dubbing 2022 “The Year of Exhaustion and Anger,” Cosper and Moore discuss the role of anger in American society, its fearful manifestations and protective instincts. The divisions in denominations, the rise of Christian nationalism, and the end of Roe might leave you with questions about what lies ahead; but hope springs eternal. Listen for why Dr. Moore believes “democracy is not dead,” and how healthy institution building can offer a path forward out of the darkness of the last few years. News editor Daniel Silliman returns with the latest installment of “Hey, Daniel, what’s weird?” to share a sci-fi story about Puritanism’s golden boy, Cotton Mather.

But Who Owns the Moon? Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

In this week’s news roundup, host Mike Cosper and editor in chief Russell Moore dive into the mysteries of bitcoin and fusion, coming up for air to talk holidays and food with James Beard-nominated chef and star of Outdoor Channel’s “Feral,” Yia Vang. News of nuclear fusion’s latest breakthrough and cryptocurrency’s latest bust lead this week’s conversation about the benefits and dangers of marveling at things beyond our understanding. Cosper and Moore discuss effective altruism, space mining, and generational cuisine all with a single common thread: Who are we inviting to the table and how are we welcoming them?

Joining us this week:

One of seven siblings, Chef Yia Vang was born in a Thai refugee camp where he lived until his family resettled in the Midwest. A trained chef who started his career working as a dishwasher, Yia Vang worked at many top restaurants in the Twin Cities before starting Union Hmong Kitchen. Yia brings Hmong flavors to American palates and invites people to change how they think about food by considering the influences in each bite. Yia is the host of TPT’s Relish series, Outdoor Channel’s “Feral,” and has been featured on National Geographic and CNN’s United Shades of America.

Still Bowling Alone Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

In this week’s news roundup, host Mike Cosper and editor in chief Russell Moore reflect on Robert Putnam’s 20-year-old book, Bowling Alone; what to do about a society that has only become more disconnected since then; and the impact this has on even one of life’s most simple pleasures: going out to dinner. Krista Boan joins in to discuss smartphones and how best to set you and your kids up when introducing this new technology. Stick around to hear about which apps Cosper, Moore, and Boan can’t live without.

Joining us this week:

Krista Boan is the cofounder of Screen Sanity. She studied English and Psychology at the University of Kansas and earned her Masters in Education at Rockhurst University.
