  • DDNR: Digital Do Not Resuscitate
    Nov 28 2025

    In this episode, Enoch and Tim explore the emerging practice of using AI and deepfake technology to create interactive digital replicas of deceased people. While these tools are marketed as aids to grief and memory preservation, we examine the philosophical and moral hazards of digitally "resurrecting" the dead—from questions of consent and exploitation to concerns about whether such practices impede genuine grief work and erode the meaning we make from mortality itself.

  • Worldviews: A Pastoral Conversation with Del Tackett
    Nov 14 2025

    Enoch and Tim interview Dr. Del Tackett, an acclaimed educator whose teaching materials have impacted over 20 million people across more than 100 countries. The conversation centers on the critical role that meta-narratives, or worldviews, play in shaping what individuals believe and pursue in their personal pursuits of flourishing. Their conversation challenges the widespread assumption of neutrality, arguing that everyone operates from an underlying worldview whether they acknowledge it or not. The discussion provides listeners with both a framework for understanding their own beliefs and practical insights into how deliberate worldview formation can guide life's most important choices and priorities.
