5LQ Episode 321: Russell Moore

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Russell Moore, president of the ERLC and author of The Storm-Tossed Family: How the Cross Reshapes the Home. During their conversation, they discuss how artificial intelligence will affect families and churches and difficulties faced in family relationships. BEST QUOTES “It's not that there's something wrong with you. You have to battle this together." "Every family relationship brings with it the possibility of heartbreak." "The church tends to think that the most important issues that it faces are whatever issues people are debating on Facebook right now." "There's going to be real questions about what does it mean to be human and what does it mean to count someone as human that will be facing us a lot more rapidly than we think now." "The technological ecosystem we are in right now tends to change us in ways we don't know about." "In the way we prepare kids for puberty, we need to be preparing people for mid-life crises." "Writing out prayers is really helpful because it gets at those sorts of laments and requests that are underneath the conscience surface." "The best thing you can possibly do is to ground him in the sphere of the home and baptize him in the sphere of the church and pronounce, simultaneously, him just and sinful." "The main thing I would tell my 20-year-old self is not to be captive to anxiety and worry." "People who feel themselves to constantly be under threat often become almost animalistic in the way that we respond."
