Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr Chris Marshall on restorative justice, shame and atonement theology
Q: Could you just maybe give a quick overview of where your career has gone and what you've spent most of your thinking time on?
Marshall outlines a long career in biblical theology and restorative justice, including teaching in New Zealand and the UK, and explains how his work bridges biblical texts with restorative practices in public and school settings.
Edward David: The Spiritual Narratives of Generation Z
Q: What should teachers do first when engaging Gen Z about spirituality in the classroom?
Begin with exemplars and stories of diverse role models to stimulate discussion about virtues and universal values, rather than starting with catechism or propositions.
Chris Watkin: The Questions AI is Forcing Us to Answer
Q: What is Watkin's course about and how can people participate?
The five-week online course through the University of Notre Dame expands on these ideas, offering resources and readings to Christians seeking to evaluate AI culturally and biblically; registrations and details are provided via show notes.
Chris Watkin: The Questions AI is Forcing Us to Answer
Q: What role does education play in the AI era?
Education must go beyond efficiency and friction reduction to consider deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and how to form character in students within a world increasingly mediated by AI.
Chris Watkin: The Questions AI is Forcing Us to Answer
Q: Is technology neutral, and how does AI influence this view?
They discuss that while tools can be used for good or evil, technology also shapes users and environments; the medium alters our dispositions and should be considered as part of the moral evaluation of AI.
