Content warning: This episode discusses mental affliction, self-harm, and suicide.  The United States surgeon general says there should be a tobacco-style warning for social media. Why? Because the mental health crisis among young people is reaching seriously harmful levels. On this episode, associate professor, author, and cofounder and editor in chief of Christ and Pop Culture Alan Noble joins Russell Moore to discuss what such a warning may look like and the modern state of affairs in the public square. Noble and Moore talk about Noble's latest book, On Getting Out of Bed, and the differences between mental affliction and mental illness. The conversation covers the importance of friendship, embracing life as an act of worship, and how men can embody healthy masculinity.  Resources mentioned in this episode or recommended by the guest include: “U.S. surgeon general calls for tobacco-style warning labels for social media” Alan's #NobleWords Memes Christ and Pop Culture And Campaign Disruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age by Alan Noble You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World by Alan Noble On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living by Alan Noble Mariner: A Voyage with Samuel Taylor Coleridge by Malcolm Guite Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World by Hartmut Rosa Click here for a trial subscription at Christianity Today.

We need to understand history to navigate our current cultural moment. According to Andrew Wilson, we especially need to understand the year 1776: all that led up to it and how it created the narrative of the West. In this episode we discuss the Enlightenment, romanticism, industrialization, and how the ideas they birthed shape the church and the world around us. Notes: Lydia mentions the composition of silence, it is titled 4'33'' by John Cage. Jenna mentions C.S. Lewis' introduction to On The Incarnation: “We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century - the blindness about which posterity will ask, "But how could they have thought that?" - lies where we have never suspected it... None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already. Where they are false they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill. The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.” Resources mentioned: Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West by Andrew Wilson The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self:Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 20: Expressive Individualism and "Strange New World" by Carl Trueman All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 1: On Reading and "Lit" by Tony Reinke The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress and Equality by Glenn Scrivener All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 7: "Frankenstein: A Guide to Reading and Reflecting" by Mary Shelley and Karen Swallow Prior Frankenstein by Mary Shelley You are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World by Alan O Noble The Letters of John Newton The Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins 1984 by George Orwell Brave New World by Aldous Huxley The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien The Four Quartets by T.S.

The Burden of Living and the Goodness of God with Alan NobleWe don't often talk about the courage required to face ordinary life. Such common human challenges as sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness may cause us to experience life more as a burden than a gift. For many, this struggle is a constant one.In his new book, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden & Gift of Living, author and professor Alan Noble considers the challenges that face each one of us every morning. He concludes that the simple decision to engage with the world each day constitutes a declaration of the goodness of God.“One of the things I want to remind people of is that actually just by choosing to go through the basic motions of life, you are affirming to other people that this life is good.“And just putting your feet on the ground and getting up despite the suffering you might be experiencing, communicates to other people that this life is worth living even when you are suffering. And that's a powerful witness.”Bearing witness and Carrying Each OtherAs Alan so eloquently makes the case, our call to faithfulness is not a solo journey. When we persevere despite our suffering, we communicate that God's creation is good, and it's an encouragement to others. It's by carrying and being carried by others that the pilgrim can make it home.“Now, there may come times when you are required by your suffering to radically depend upon others to carry you out of bed. My advice is to embrace those moments, knowing that you'll carry your neighbor in return when the time comes.”We hope you'll enjoy this conversation and share it with your community.This podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation with Alan recorded in April of 2023.

Once again they discuss what it means to live in our modern-day world. They discuss our fixation w/ self-medication, technique, the burden of self-justification, and guys like Charles Taylor, Jacques Ellul, and Zygmunt Bauman-fun names to say, eh? These are deep thinkers who were insightful to step back and examine our modern world and how it is shaping us. There are promises of having a better life, of being a better you, of fill-in-the-blank that is going to make your life better and give you a more concrete and complete identity. But what if those promises are simply symptoms of something deeper and more sinister? What if they represent an incorrect view of the world that promise freedom but leads to tyranny instead? And if tyranny, how can we find freedom from it? That is what Travis and Alan talk about in today's episode of Apollos Watered! Learn more about https://www.oalannoble.com/ (Alan).

We live in a world where technology has vastly expanded human potential. We live longer, healthier lives and can do more in less time than ever before. But we are still human – finite, fallible creatures with limits given to us by our Creator. When we forget our limits or, worse, reject them, we rebel against our humanity. Why are we so restless? Because we've forgotten that we are creatures.

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.

It's the fundamental lie of modern life, says Alan Noble: that we are our own. Compared to our ancestors, we're less worried about war. We're less worried about starvation and famine. But by believing that we are our own, we tend to struggle with new problems: the loss of meaning, identity, and purpose.Noble says this in his new book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World, published by InterVarsity:Everyone is on their own private journey of self-discovery and self-expression so that at times, modern life feels like billions of people in the same room shouting their name so that everyone else knows they exist and who they are—which is a fairly accurate description of social media.Noble's book feels like a douse of cold water that wakes us from our delusion. His book builds off the first question and answer of the Heidelberg Catechism. And he helps us find our way back to this well-worn path of divine wisdom. He writes, “Our selves belong to God, and we are joyfully limited and restrained by the obligations, virtues, and love that naturally come from this belonging.”Noble is assistant professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University and co-founder and editor in chief of Christ and Pop Culture.
