Summary

On social media and the news, the narrative told about humanity is often one of violence, division, and dehumanization. But is that really who we are?  Tim Shriver, best-selling author and chairman of the Special Olympics, doesn’t think so. “My view,” he says, “is that the versions of our lives that most of us lead most days are much more hopeful.”  As the nephew of John F. Kennedy, Tim has known great privilege and great grief. As an educator and social worker, he has seen the countless ways that humans defy stereotypes and give grace and hope to one another. In this episode, he talks about why his life and career have led him to the conclusion that the key to a happy life is to live it for the flourishing of others.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  "Fully Alive: Discovering What Matters Most" by Tim Shriver  Tim's Website  "Need a Lift?"

Lacey Camp here, if you're enjoying this show, I'd love to tell you about a new podcast from Tokens Media called The Subtext.

0:06.1

Each week, I sit down with Savannah Locke, a self-admitted pop culture expert, and she helps me catch up on everything I've missed, which given that I do not own a cell phone is quite a bit.

0:17.3

In fact, they're very pleased.

0:19.2

Savannah was very pleased to teach me about the fact

0:21.9

that Taylor Swift had gotten engaged, about six weeks after it happened. So on the subtext,

0:28.4

Savannah brings a pop culture moment, celebrity drama, internet debates for our shows,

0:33.1

and together we ask a deeper question. Why does any of this actually matter? What is it reveal about our

0:39.1

culture, our theology, and the lives that we are living online and in the public square?

0:44.5

And how might we, as Christians, enjoy the world in ways that reflect truth, beauty, and goodness?

0:50.5

It's a conversation between someone who lives very much on the internet and someone who lives a lot off of it,

and that tension makes for surprisingly meaningful dialogue.

1:00.8

If you're looking for a place to begin, I'd suggest our recent episode on the rival Super Bowl halftime shows, a fascinating conversation.
