The future is coming for all of us.
It can be scary to think about—but does it need to be?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Dean talks with Dr. Joel Murphy of Acadia Divinity College, who invites us into the world of “futuring”—a disciplined, hope-filled way of discerning where culture is headed and how Christian men can respond with wisdom and intentionality.
Rather than simply reacting to change, Joel challenges men to recognize emerging trends, imagine possible futures, and step into their God-given calling to help shape what’s next.
From the rise of AI and the “attention economy” to the growing influence of the online manosphere, Dean and Joel dive into some of the realities shaping modern masculinity.
But grounded in a deep confidence in Christ, Dr. Murphy holds the tension between realism and hope—reminding us that while the world is shifting rapidly, God is not.
The future is coming for all of us. The question is—what kind of men will face it?
