Four “Hot Button” Issues the Church Must Confront 2023-06-14T11:46:23-07:00 Anthony Costello

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In this recent episode of the “Come Let Us Reason” podcast, friend and colleague Lenny Esposito and I discuss four hot button issues profoundly affecting America today. They are:

The emergence of Strong AI technologies
The prevalence of Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory in American society
The rise of Neo-Paganism in America
The debate over Christian Nationalism

These hot button issues are prevalent in our cultural conversations, and they demand a robust and explicit answer by the Church. In this video Lenny and I touch on each issue and show why they matter with regard to answering the age-old question of: “How now shall we live?”
