Want to Change Culture? Show Up With Care with Andy Crouch

How does language, both careless and careful, shape our world? What's the connection between social status and the words we choose? How does technology influence our understanding of culture and control? Amy Julia Becker and special guest Andy Crouch examine these questions in a conversation about language, culture, and culture making. They also ask:

• What does the recent rise of the r-word tell us about our culture?  
• In what ways are technology and vulnerability interconnected?  
• How can we show up with care in our relationships and creative endeavors?
