About this episode

The episode discusses how Christians can respond to radical politics and uncertainty with civic virtue and community engagement.

We're increasingly isolated, AI is accelerating by the day, and radical visions of politics get thrown around online constantly. Ben Sasse and William Inboden join Michael Horton to discuss why Christians might not want to spend their time and energy trying to burn down the current political order online, but instead meet our moment of illiberal policies and politics with civic virtue, "little platoons," and local communities.
