Ep. 648: Mythbusting with Ryan Burge, Americans are Turning Away from Social Media, and Cru’s 75th Birthday

Here are resources mentioned in today’s episode:

• Ryan Burge makes a compelling case that Black Protestants and White Evangelicals have much more in common with each other than either group has with other religious traditions.

• Warren wrote an article last week for Christianity Today. It is the story of one of my friends and mentors, Jim Kilgo, and his humorous first meeting with the writer Annie Dillard, who died on Sept. 15. You can find it here.

• A new Murmuration survey finds that nearly three in four Americans (73%) say spending in-person time with friends and family has become more important to them over the last year, while a majority (55%) have seriously considered quitting social media.

• The Russell Kirk Center announced this week that Eugene Volokh will receive this year’s Richard D. McLellan Prize for advancing free speech and expression.

• In 1976, on Cru’s 25^th anniversary, Bright sat with Christianity Today for an interview. In it, he said, “We at Campus Crusade are very transparent in all our financial operations.” Alas, not anymore.

The producer for today’s program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
