Summary

In this second half of this podcast series, John and Allen dive even deeper into the clash between the real and the artificial, explaining how it is intensifying and why no one can remain neutral in this world of competing realities. They offer practical ways to navigate the chaos and choices before us by sharing the Five Tenets of the Real and Five Lies of the Artificial from Allen's new book, Risk the Real: How to Defy the Rise of the Artificial.
In The Matrix, Morpheus states, "There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path." That's even more true here. Our goal isn't just greater awareness—but to actively step into the story God has created us for at this moment in time. Only then can we risk well for what matters most as we defy the artificial and pursue the real.

0:30.5	too, like the kid who is playing a video game about playing soccer and you
0:37.8	get to be one of the soccer superstars right but it's like when you come to

0:45.9	the artificial has won.
0:49.1	Welcome back to part two, everybody here on the Wild of Heart podcast in the week of February 5th.
0:55.6	I got that right this time. And we are riffing on a book that Alan has just released called
1:02.4	Risk The Real, okay, about choosing the
1:06.4	real feels risky but it's it's worth it every time. Yes. Okay, so we're gonna
1:12.2	unpack some more of that this week. I'm so enjoying this conversation.
1:18.0	Yeah, we don't want to love watching people play, you know, watching people surf more than we love being in the ocean ourselves.
1:27.0	So good.
1:28.0	Right.
1:29.0	Okay, so let's take a pause and release whatever it is that's already grabbed you today.
1:36.6	The chaos, the world, let's just take a moment, breathe and give it all back to God.
