O. Alan Noble (PhD Baylor) is associate professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University, editor-in-chief of Christ and Pop Culture, and author of numerous publications. Alan's books include, Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age, and You are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World--which is the topic of this conversation. Josh and Alan talk about what makes modern life uniquely dehumanizing, why the myth of self-belonging contributes to anxiety, how the Heidelberg Catechism can help, what drew Alan to literature, and why Christians should read Cormac McCarthy.

It was my pleasure to speak with Dr. Alan Noble about his recently published book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World. Dr. Noble is Associate Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University and the founder and former editor of Christ and Pop Culture. His writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Vox, Buzzfeed, First Things, Christianity Today, and The Gospel Coalition. Noble's first book, Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age, likewise explored the contours of faith and faithfulness in our contemporary cultural milieu. In our conversation, we discuss some of the major themes of You Are Not Your Own, including how modern society undermines the possibility of human flourishing, the consequences of the relentless pursuit of efficiency, and alternative ways of imagining the good life grounded in our belonging to God. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Also, if you've not done so already, please check out the terrific program we've put together this spring at the Study Center.

Everything in Western society teaches us that we belong to nobody but ourselves. This sounds great! We can create our own identities, map out our own lives, and find our own significance. This means that we are entirely responsible for ourselves. But Alan Noble says this overwhelmingly burdens us to try to justify our existence and to create and express our own identities. And society is more than happy to manipulate us as we do so. There is a lot of money to be had in people who are burdened with creating, sustaining, and projecting who they are.

In different seasons of life, rest, relaxation, and play look different. What is fun when you're a parent of small children and serving youth in the church...during a pandemic? Join Sam Heaton as he shares his experience of leading, loving, and living as a follower of Jesus in the midst of seasons filled with change.  If you ever found yourself worn out from a Zoom meeting, Sam offers reminders about our basic needs. Sometimes it is as simple as seeing the possibility for fun and faithfulness. At other moments, fun involves entering the world of his young son. What may have been fun years ago takes on new meaning as a parent. At the center of our conversation is a focus on authenticity. Sam reminds us what authentic community looks like and the needs of people seeking to live life in community. He shares how life can't be separated into neat quadrants. Instead, he models what an integrated life looks and sounds like as followers of Jesus. Sometimes it's messy. Other times, it's quiet moments of solitude. And still other moments, it's being self-aware enough to know why you're scrolling on social media.    Finally, if you've wondered whether Sabbath is truly possible, Sam will help you see what it looks like as a parent, partner, and leader in the church. Write it Down/Talk it Out What does Sabbath look like for you in this season?  What margin do you intentionally create with technology?  Where are you finding mini Sabbaths during the day?    Mentioned in this Episode  Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age by Alan Noble  The Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund The Soul in Paraphrase John Donne Poetry TS Eliot

My dad once said to someone that what just happened was an answer to prayer. The guy told him it was just a coincidence. So my dad said, "Funny thing. When I pray more coincidences happen." Prayer is amazing! Come listen as we talk about the Psalms and how prayer disrupts our life and the lives of those around us.

My guest is Alan Noble. His new book is Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age (https://www.amazon.com/Disruptive-Witness-Speaking-Truth-Distracted/dp/083084483X). These two trends define life in Western society today. We are increasingly addicted to habits―and devices―that distract and "buffer" us from substantive reflection and deep engagement with the world. And we live in what Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor calls "a secular age"―an age in which all beliefs are equally viable and real transcendence is less and less plausible. Drawing on Taylor's work, Alan Noble describes how these realities shape our thinking and affect our daily lives. Too often Christians have acquiesced to these trends, and the result has been a church that struggles to disrupt the ingrained patterns of people's lives. But the gospel of Jesus is inherently disruptive: like a plow, it breaks up the hardened surface to expose the fertile earth below. In this book Noble lays out individual, ecclesial, and cultural practices that disrupt our society's deep-rooted assumptions and point beyond them to the transcendent grace and beauty of Jesus. Disruptive Witness casts a new vision for the evangelical imagination, calling us away from abstraction and cliché to a more faithful embodiment of the gospel for our day. Alan Noble (PhD, Baylor University) is assistant professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University and cofounder and editor-in-chief of Christ and Pop Culture. Special Guest: Alan Noble.
