In a new article in The Atlantic, David Brooks asks how America became so mean. He says moral formation used to be a key part of social, religious, and educational structures in the country, but after World War II communal virtues were abandoned for an individualistic and therapeutic model. Simply put, we stopped teaching people how to be good. But what\\u2019s missing from Brooks\\u2019 solution? A popular preacher says he won\\u2019t watch The Chosen because it violates the Second Commandment prohibiting any images of God. Is he right? Then, Dr. John Walton is back to discuss his new book, \\u201cWisdom for Faithful Reading.\\u201d He explains why relying on the Holy Spirit isn\\u2019t enough when engaging the Bible, and why he believes the American church isn\\u2019t facing a crisis of biblical illiteracy but a crisis of biblical interpretation. Also this week\\u2014snakes are falling from the sky in Texas.
