Welcome to the Breakpoint podcast and our Q&A segment Ask the Colson Center. I'm Shane Morris, host of the upstream podcast and one of the writers for Breakpoint. I'm joined today by John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center and the voice of Breakpoint. We're answering your questions here on the show. These questions were sparked by breakpoint commentaries and short courses and the

0:21.9

Colson Fellows program. And if you've got a question you'd like us to answer here on the podcast,

0:26.5

you can send it to us at Ask the Colson Center at colsoncenter.org. John, we're going to try to

0:33.0

get through more questions this week. Last week we gave what was kind of like the Peter Jackson

0:38.7

extended edition of two questions. And it was quite a marathon. But our producer got on to us for not

0:45.9

getting through his list of six questions. So this time we're going to try to give the theatrical

0:50.2

release of all six of these and be a little more, you know, speedy and not quite so thorough.

opposed to it. I don't know who said the medium is the message first. But Marshall McLuhan.

1:18.2

Marshall McLuhan. Okay. So I've really come to believe in the truth of that. He's the one who

1:23.0

gets credit for it. You know, there's there's a lot of things through history that get, you know,

1:27.4

chalked up and then get codified. But, and Mark Twain gets his disproportionate, uh,

1:32.8

amount of those. But yeah, if it's a snarky secular quote, it either goes to Mark Twain or

1:37.5

Yogi Berra. Yeah. And if it's a, uh, historical kind of, you know, courageous quote,

1:44.0

it goes to Teddy Roosevelt.

1:45.7

And then if it's a Christian quote,

1:47.7

it either goes to Jonathan Edwards or C.S. Lewis.

1:50.1

Yeah.

1:50.7

That's the rules.
