About this conversation

Is the world actually getting worse—or are we simply more aware of everything that's wrong? In this episode of The Disciple Standard Podcast, we look across generations at some of the events that shaped America's collective memory—from Ruby Bridges and the Civil Rights era to Rodney King, 9/11, Columbine, and more. Along the way, the conversation turns to how media has changed the way we experience tragedy, why parents today are more fearful than previous generations, how childhood and community have changed, and whether human nature itself has really changed. The world around us may look very different from generation to generation. But what about the human heart? And ultimately, what does Jesus have to say about our fear, division, sin, and need for reconciliation? - - https://disciplestandard.com/ Support the Podcast - https://www.patreon.com/c/DiscipleStandardPodcast Visit our church - https://sunlightchurch.com/ Connect with us - https://multiply222.com
