Summary

In Part 3 of our series, John, Blaine, and Allen bring two streams together: 1) how followers of Jesus handle crisis, and 2) observable, accelerating trends of God.
To remain strong and rooted in the face of growing chaos, we must retrain our souls to see, above all else, how God's activity saturates the various parts of our lives and world events—and how this understanding of reenchantment reveals the return of a meaningful universe.

0:07.6	The Christian of the future will be a mystic or will not exist at all, Carl Rayner.
0:16.2	Repeated processes shape the soul.
0:19.7	This has been core to discipleship for millennia. It was inevitable that years of internet life would shape
0:28.5	our souls whether we wanted it to or not. As a friend said, it's not that we've done something wrong. Something wrong has been done to us.
0:39.3	Discipleship to the internet has to your questions.
0:45.0	Given you a deep suspicion to all forms of mystery fueled your addiction that the practical is the real

1:19.0	No wonder people have a hard time experiencing Jesus. If you tell a child we're going to the beach
1:26.1	tomorrow their immediate response is not nyh maybe we'll see did you even check the weather? That's the adult response.

2:07.0	Maybe this will help us grasp what Jesus was trying to address when he said,
2:12.0	Truly I tell you, unless you change
