Hey Theology Nerds! On this episode, we're wrestling with one of those questions that'll mess with your theology AND your politics - Vincent Harding's knockout punch of a question: 'Is America possible?' I'm talking about the REAL America, not the one on your uncle's Facebook feed, but the wild, beautiful, messy dream of a multiracial, multi-ethnic, pluralistic, egalitarian democracy that actually, you know, WORKS. We're getting into all of it - how democracy and capitalism are duking it out, what Christianity has to say when it's not too busy blessing the status quo, and why asking better questions might just save us from ourselves. This is about imagination, the kind that gets people in trouble with empire. We're talking solidarity that actually costs something, conversations that require actual courage (not just Twitter courage), and why your algorithm might be more theologically problematic than that praise band you love to hate. If you've ever wondered whether faith communities could stop playing defense and start building the world we actually need, or if you're ready to imagine America as something more than a 250-year-old experiment in barely not falling apart - this one's for you. We're bringing the theological fire to the most urgent questions of our time, because apparently that's what we do around here. Corey D. B. Walker is Dean of the School of Divinity at Wake Forest University. As a scholar, he's committed to a broad vision of human flourishing.

He is the author of High Points and Lows: Life, Faith, and Figuring It All Out and The Pastor's Bookshelf: Why Reading Matters for Ministry, which received the 2023 Christianity Today Award of Merit and was named Book of the Year by Preaching magazine. Resources:Follow Austin on FacebookBuy Some of the Words are TheirsListen to Austin's previous episode on The Weight

In this episode of Inspired Money, we bring together leading voices in blockchain, crypto investing, and emerging technologies to help you cut through the noise and understand where this digital revolution is headed. Whether you're curious about crypto or already investing, this expert panel delivers real-world insights, personal stories, and practical takeaways to help you make sense of blockchain, digital assets, and the opportunities ahead.  Meet the Expert Panelists Dr. Merav Ozair is a leading global expert on emerging technologies, blockchain, and responsible AI, with extensive experience as a data scientist, quant strategist, and fintech educator at institutions like Cornell and Wake Forest University. A member of the Academic Advisory Board at INATBA and founder of Emerging Technologies Mastery, she is widely recognized for her work in democratizing technology and shaping ethical, inclusive digital innovation. https://www.doctorblockchain.io Sir John Hargrave is the CEO of Media Shower and publisher of the widely read Bitcoin Market Journal, trusted by over 100,000 crypto investors each month. His highly anticipated new book, The Intelligent Crypto Investor (coming February 10, 2026), reveals a proven, accessible strategy for building long-term wealth through smart crypto investing—now available for preorder. https://www.bitcoinmarketjournal.com Chris Kline is the Co-Founder and COO of BitcoinIRA, the world's first platform enabling investors to hold cryptocurrencies directly in their retirement accounts. Since launching the company in 2016, Chris has expanded its offerings beyond Bitcoin to multiple digital assets, built a secure and compliant infrastructure, and helped establish BitcoinIRA as the trusted leader in crypto retirement investing. https://bitcoinira.com Nick Spanos is a pioneering entrepreneur in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, best known for founding Bitcoin Center NYC in 2013, the world's first physical cryptocurrency exchange located just steps from the New York Stock Exchange. He is also the inventor of the multi-branched blockchain and blockchain-based voting systems, holds multiple patents, and is a recognized thought leader featured in the Netflix documentary Banking on Bitcoin. https://www.nickspanos.com Key Highlights from the Conversation 1. Blockchain: Powering the New Digital Trust Dr. Merav Ozair emphasizes that blockchain's impact goes far beyond cryptocurrency. “AI fakes. Blockchain authenticates.” She explains that as AI-generated content and digital interactions grow, we face a crisis of trust. Blockchain's immutable records and decentralized verification can bring authenticity to everything from online identities to supply chain data, ensuring we know what's real in a digital-first world. 2. Diversification and Smart Crypto Investing Sir John Hargrave demystifies crypto investing with simple, practical steps: “Start with a small amount of Bitcoin, maybe a little Ethereum. No more than 10% of your portfolio.” He explains that diversification helps reduce risk while offering exposure to the potential upside of digital assets. His upcoming book, The Intelligent Crypto Investor, provides a clear roadmap for building long-term wealth without gambling on hype or speculation. 3. Democratizing Financial Opportunity Chris Kline highlights how cryptocurrency is opening doors for everyday investors: “Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is the democratization of money—it is the people's currency.” Through platforms like BitcoinIRA, investors can now hold digital assets in secure, regulated retirement accounts, breaking down barriers that once limited access to alternative investments and giving individuals more control over their financial future. 4. Remaining Vigilant in a Rapidly Centralizing Landscape Nick Spanos, a pioneer from the early days of crypto, warns against forgetting its roots: “If these sleaze bags get a hold of it and turn it into what they can manipulate, it's the wrong move for humanity.” He shares how Bitcoin's original ethos was built on decentralization and freedom from centralized control—and why staying vigilant is essential as institutions and governments increasingly enter the space.
