In this episode Ted, Ronnie, and Barnabas wander to and fro through a variety of topics:

  1. Everything is grim and nothing is funny
  2. Is the church 7-10 years behind culture or 70 years behind it? 
  3. How the church can respond to culture instead of imitating it
  4. Goblin mode: the squalor of soul 
  5. The monolith of anxiety and how we can't approach it with nuance
  6. Redefining failure and disappointment
