The Most Gullible Generation, Pope Leo XIV, and When Change Is or Isn’t Better than Nothing

On this week’s episode, Pastors Brian, Josh, and Judah start with a conversation about new research showing that Gen Z is the least able to tell fact from fiction online, and how all of us can become less gullible on the Internet. Then, they look at the multicultural background of Pope Leo XIV and consider how that background might influence his papacy. They also consider how their cultural backgrounds impact their leadership. Next, they talk about change. When is it helpful? When is it not? What are some ways we can assess if change is necessary? They conclude with a quiz where they attempt to distinguish between real and fake headlines.
