Were you an evangelical kid in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s? Then you may be suffering from the lingering affects of \\u201crapture anxiety.\\u201d Why did rapture theology feature so prominently in the American church, where did it come from, and why does it seem so bizarre to Christians today? Then, Russell Moore has a new article on the heresy of Christian Nationalism accusing it of doing to conservatives what the Social Gospel did to progressives a century ago.

Skye then talks to Silicon Valley pastor, Jay Y. Kim, about his book \\u201cAnalog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age.\\u201d Kim says social media is designed to produce the opposite of the Fruit of the Spirit in us, and argues we need to \\u201clinger longer\\u201d in non-digital, incarnate spaces and relationships to combat its affects. Plus, don\\u2019t take a raccoon into a bar, and one tough Turkish toddler.
