Transcribe →327 - The Rise of the Christian Edgelord
May 2700:34:53Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we’re tackling a trend you’ve probably seen online but might not have a name for: the "Edgelord". We dive into a recent article from Joe Carter at The Gospel Coalition (link below) that explores how some Christian influencers are trading truth for provocative reactions and social media clout. Why are so many young men drawn to this style of leadership, and how is it secretly shaping our faith? We break down what an Edgelord actually is and discuss why being aware of these online influences is so important for our spiritual formation today. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/edgelords-inherit-earth/Connect With Usprovidenceomaha.org | Instagram | FacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org
