Not Just Sunday: Christian Life, Following Jesus, & Daily Discipleship

Whether you realize it or not, your social media habits are shaping you spiritually. So, how should Christians use social media? In this twelfth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and even YouTube shape our habits, attention, relationships, and spiritual lives.

We talk about why social media is so attractive, how it quietly forms us over time, and why it can be so hard to step away. We end with some practical ways adults can use social media more wisely (or decide it may be better to step back altogether).

"Astrology for smart people." That's how some have described personality tests like the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, DISC, or Working Genius. But do these tools have any place in the Christian life? Can they actually help us live more wisely and more biblically? In this eleventh episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how personality assessments can help with self-awareness, teamwork, and understanding others, while also warning against using them as excuses, identities, or substitutes for biblical wisdom.

Should Christians drink alcohol? Be drunk? Have a "buzz"? How can you tell if you’re being controlled by the things you eat? What does the Bible actually say about gluttony, drunkenness, and enjoying God’s good gifts?

In this tenth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how food and drink show up throughout Scripture, from Eden and manna to the Lord’s Supper and the wedding feast of the Lamb. We discuss the double meaning of food and alcohol in the Bible: they are gifts to be received with joy, but they can also become powerful places where idolatry takes root. We end on a positive note, showing how God ultimately wants us to enjoy his good gifts for his glory.

How do you engage with a brilliant book that isn’t explicitly Christian? In this *bonus* episode, we put the Not Just Sacred series into practice by discussing Trust by Hernan Diaz, the novel our listeners voted to read with us. With full spoilers ahead, we unpack the book’s layered structure, surprising reversals, and deeper questions about truth, power, perspective, and who gets to shape the story. More than a book review, we hope this serves as a model for how Christians can read secular literature with wisdom, discernment, and curiosity.

Artificial intelligence promises to make life easier. But what might it be doing to us in the process? In this ninth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how Christians can approach AI with wisdom. When is using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini helpful? And when should we be cautious?

We discuss different ways to use AI, the ethical questions surrounding large language models (LLMs), the temptation to outsource our thinking, and why human wisdom and relationships still matter more than ever. Plus, is AI really coming for our jobs?

This is one you won't want to miss!
