  • Cultural Update: Are political opponents really our enemies?; A world beyond IVF; Diverse intelligence
    Sep 13 2024

    This week Scott & Sean discuss:

    • Are political opponents really our enemies? We dive into a Wall Street Journal op-ed challenging partisanship and urging love across political lines.
    • The ethics of emerging reproductive technologies like in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG) and the potential societal impacts.
    • A New York Times article about humanity’s readiness for a world beyond IVF, asking if we're prepared for designer babies.
    • How should we relate to "diverse intelligence" like AI, robots, and cyborgs?
    • Listener questions tackle sensitive topics such as retirement from a biblical perspective and the emotional and spiritual challenges of male infertility (book mentioned: The Infertility Companion).

  • The Supreme Court Chief of NC and Faith (with Chief Paul Newby)
    Sep 10 2024

    What people and events led Paul Newby to become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina? What historical evidence originally led him to become a Christian, and how does he uniquely practice his faith as a Chief Justice? And what advice would he give to young Christians who want to serve God through the law? We had the unique opportunity to talk with Chief Paul Newby to hear him address these questions, and more, as well as talk about his personal journey to faith.

    Paul Martin Newby is the 30th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. In addition to his service on the Court, Chief Justice Newby is an adjunct professor at Campbell University School of Law, where he teaches courses on state constitutional law and appellate practice. He is the co-author of The North Carolina State Constitution with History and Commentary (2nd ed. 2013) with Professor John V. Orth of the University of North Carolina School of Law. And he is a father, husband, elder, and Sunday School teacher.
