Lately Noted
A few recent appearances by me around the web:
I’ve been honored to become a contributor to Wall Street Journal’s new Free Expression newsletter. This is an eclectic space featuring great writers covering a wide array of topics. My latest piece celebrates the Super Bowl as a healthy civic ritual. Please consider subscribing to Free Expression!
At World Magazine, I ask if conservatives are at risk for killing the “vibe shift.” An excerpt:
Shapiro’s proclamation that “there can be no victory without truth” is an indictment of “no enemies to the right,” an ideology that has given far too much cover to liars and mercenaries within the post-Kirk right. If conservatives either cannot or will not distinguish truth from tribe, they will enable figures who will gladly light their credibility on fire in exchange for clout. This will have a double effect: It will replace public critics of progressivism with attention merchants, and it will build a plausibility structure that leads back to wokeness.
The Crossway Podcast has published a special 2-part conversation featuring Shane Morris and myself, answering reader questions about AI.
That’s all for now!


Congrats!
Listened to the podcast on AI in ministry tonight. Thank you for your insistence on a broad understanding of Christian wisdom here. I'm married to a pastor who doesn't use AI, but we often discuss it as we know other pastors are using it increasingly. This was a helpful addition to the conversation.
