Can you dig it?

Hundreds of people showed up to a beach… just to dig holes...and then fill them back in.

It sounds pointless. But what if it’s not?

In this episode, we wrestle with why something so simple can feel so meaningful. Along the way, we ask some deeper questions:

  • Are we too obsessed with productivity, even in the church?
  • What if people don’t need better programs… just better connection?
  • And why do we feel so alone… even when we’re surrounded by people?

Because maybe the hole isn’t the point. Maybe the hunger underneath it is.

Would you trust a chatbot with your soul?

Millions of people are turning to AI for prayer, guidance, and even spiritual direction. But what does that mean for real faith? 

This week, we wrestle with a growing trend highlighted in a Relevant Magazine article: Christians using chatbots as spiritual companions. Because here’s the deeper issue: spiritual growth has always been formed in community, not isolation. And while a chatbot might respond instantly, it can’t bear your burdens, challenge your blind spots, or walk with you through real life. 

So what do we do with a technology that feels personal, helpful… and maybe a little too convincing?
