Episode Description from the Publisher

Justin chops it up with entrepreneur and technologist John Knox about faith, technology, and the rapidly changing digital frontier. From AI to blockchain to the emerging world of Web3, the discussion explores what it might mean for Christians to cultivate a faithful presence in spaces that shape how information is disseminated, how authority is distributed, and how influence flows.Rather than treating new technology as either a savior or a threat, Knox invites listeners to think with careful and holy optimism about the moral and spiritual opportunities embedded in our tools. The conversation examines the promise and complexity of decentralization, the rise of online communities, and the generational shifts shaping how people encounter both faith and information. Along the way, they wrestle with a central question: if technology is reorganizing public life, what role do Christians have in responsibly shaping it?Knox argues that the tech sector should not be ceded to purely commercial or ideological interests. Instead, Christians working in technology—and those simply navigating it—have an opportunity to engage these spaces with imagination, ethical clarity, and a sense of mission. From practical steps for “digital missionaries” to broader reflections on how faith and vocation intersect in the modern economy, the episode offers a hopeful but clear-eyed look at the possibilities before us. For anyone curious about the forces shaping our (digital) lives, this conversation offers a thoughtful invitation: don’t just consume or avoid technology—help shape it.~LINKS~Christians in Web 3 (CW3)FaithTech.comPodcast: What Would Jesus TechBook: Debugging Discipleship: Flowing the Church out as Liquid to Bear Fruit that Lasts by Joanna NgBook: Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents―and What They Mean for America's Future by Dr. Jean TwengeJohn’s Firm: MedranoPartners.com
