#030 Is our society, our infrastructure, built to last? What if it's not? And what can we do, together, to prepare for that possibility? Bart Campolo is the son of famous Baptist evangelist Tony Campolo, and he's now a secular humanist who's hopeful but not optimistic about the future of humanity. So he's trying to get people thinking about how to cultivate resilient, loving communities that can withstand the challenges of the years ahead—communities that aren't necessarily bound together by beliefs. This is a super interesting—and challenging—episode. There's some swearing, too, so grab those headphones or keep the kids out of the room.

Bart Campolo and John Wright discuss leaving fundamentalist communities, transitioning beliefs, and building meaningful secular communities. They explore the challenges of establishing new ethical standards, the significance of love as a survival strategy, and the importance of kindness and relationships post-Christianity.

Bart Campolo, the Humanist Chaplain at the University of Southern California, shares his fascinating shift from evangelical Christianity to secular humanism. He discusses the impact of faith deconstruction and the challenge of redefining community without traditional beliefs. Bart emphasizes the power of storytelling in humanism, the importance of empathy in bridging divides between secular and religious groups, and the role of shared narratives in addressing global issues like ecological sustainability. He even makes a light-hearted attempt to evangelize Tripp to the gospel of humanism!
