Luke and I start out with the Qatar death scandal involving the World Cup, but don\'t worry, plenty of people die, Qatar and FIFA authorities assure us. Just not on the same project. At the same time. At all. Then I mock the worship of Sports (#1 of America\'s Top 7 Gods) and Luke pivots the conversation to a quote from Archbishop Chaput:

\\n

\\n “This difference between production and consumption is what sociologist Zygmunt Bauman calls the gulf between solid and liquid modern life. Older, \\u201csolid\\u201d societies based on production find their security in ownership, delayed gratification and rational organization. They seek methodical progress, and they put a high value on durable goods. \\u201cLiquid,\\u201d consumer-based societies\\u2014creatures of the tech revolution and its rapid rate of change\\u2014feed on \\u201cincessant new beginnings\\u201d and experiences.”\\n

\\n \\n

\\n\\n \\n \\n \\n \\n \\n \\n \\n \\n \\n\\n \\n\\n \\n \\n \\n \\n\\n\\n

I express how I get nervous with quotes like these because, to be honest, a fear of technology is essentially a fear of our native strength. Robots, AI, and all these iPhones are extensions of our selves, they are our creations. Anywho, Zygmunt Bauman\'s thesis sounds interesting, so here\'s a link to his book Liquid Modernity that benefits our ministry. And we shouldn\'t fear them.

Now on to Mars, ELON MUSK, GET MY FAT ASS TO MARS!

Then we talk about our upcoming two guests: Sergio Bermundez and Lisa Brenninkmeyer from Walking With Purpose.

Then Gomer pulls out the GREATEST ANSWER OF ALL TIME WHY LUKE HAS BAD TASTE IN MUSIC/BEER. Thanks \'Stina!

Finally, we end with the New Evangelization and why we aren\'t really implementing it and how Gomer has no patience for this.
