Episode Synopsis

"Nature abhors a vacuum, and when the available 'spiritual space' is not filled by some higher motivation, then it will necessarily be filled by something lower--by the small, mean, calculating attitude to life which is rationalized in the economic calculus."
E.F. Schumacher wrote that out of a deep concern for our telos toward our resources, that we would just treat growth and efficiency as the end goal. But how do we cultivate a healthier telos that considers our community, our church, and the kingdom? How do we cultivate that in our students? We'll discuss that in this breakout with the help of Schumacher, Wendell Berry, and God's Word.
