Ep. 283 | Is Climate Change Real? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is climate change real? Yes--but does that mean we should panic, dismantle capitalism, and outlaw your pickup truck? Not so fast. Today, I take a conservative, common-sense look at climate change, separating legitimate science from political rhetoric, apocalyptic predictions, and government overreach.

Ep. 282 | Will A.I. Kill Us All? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is A.I. going to save humanity, destroy humanity--or just make us incredibly lazy? In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I take a humorous and slightly snarky look at the rise of artificial intelligence, the real dangers it presents, the fears of a robot apocalypse, and what Christians should make of this rapidly evolving technology.

Ep. 280 | Gen-X: The Forgotten Generation (opens the original)

In this episode, I look at the forgotten generation that bridged the analog and digital worlds--and why being overlooked might actually be one of Gen X's greatest strengths.
Ep. 279 | Are Feminists Losing Their Marbles? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on TIMpactful Topics , I tackle a few stories making headlines, ask whether some modern feminists have officially lost their marbles, and take a biting look at the contradictions surrounding feminism, masculinity, and truth. I also share a personal update about moving the podcast from two episodes a week to one as I begin an 18-month commitment to my church's School of Ministry. Plus, the usual opinions, observations, and a little Uncle Tim snark along the way.
