The Challenge of Social Media (Theopolis Technology Series)
Technology, Community, and Identity (Theopolis Technology Series)
I’ve been away or otherwise occupied for the last couple of months, so haven’t kept up to date in posting here. That should be changing over the next few days, as I expect to get back to regular posting of biblical reflections. Here are three short videos I produced for Theopolis, in the continuing series on technology.
Social Media and the Lack of Boundaries (with some reference to Tim Keller…)
A Quest for Healthier Thought and Discourse
This is the concluding reflection in my series of podcasts on reforming our discourse. ‘The Danger of Apologetics’ and ‘Unruly Media and Our Disordered Discourse’ were the previous instalments.

Clickbait
In today’s world, where there seems to be an overflow of information, is clickbaiting justified?
