Faith Seeking Understanding
Posted on October 10, 2024 | Posted by Pastor Daniel
When: December 2 (podcast) and January 27 and February 24 (book), 6pm
Join the Ascension Book & Podcast Club for two upcoming Discussions.
Faith Seeking Understanding is Ascension’s book, podcast, and occasional movie club! We discuss works of non-fiction, with some dabbling of fiction thrown in. Usually we’ll address a timely topic. We’ve read books and listened to podcasts on homelessness, racism, poverty, criminal justice, gun violence, climate change, elder care, and more. We meet most 4th Mondays, with occasional changes to the calendar. Our next discussions are …
AI, and What It Means to Be (More) Human
This year-old episode of On Being called “AI, and What It Means to Be (More) Human” This is a shockingly optimistic take on AI, and I’ll be really curious to hear not only what you think about it, but if it helps us to explore, as the title notes, what it is to be human.

Join us for discussion on Monday, December 2nd at 6:00 over a potluck meal. (Note the date change to accommodate Thanksgiving travels) We’ll meet downstairs or via zoom.
The Anxious Generation
Our next book is “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt. I’m not sure I’m gonna like this book, or agree with it. But I do think it will cause me to think and lead to some good discussion on parenting, our connections to technology, the power of large companies, and ‘kids-these-days’.
Join us for discussion on parts 1-3 on Monday, January 27th. We’ll then discuss part 4 on February 24th. We’ll meet over a potluck at 6:00 downstairs or via zoom.
