Listen as Pastor Adam Darbonne and Pastor Nic Gibson take another look at the sermon and the remaining AMA questions from February 18, 2024, the last sermon from the Technopoly series.

6:10 - Please elaborate on what you mean when you say things like “the technopoly is trying to control you”?
14:18 - What is your foundation for, and purpose in, directing our awareness to some cabal of elites being in control of this? At what point can we talk about demonization?
27:41 - What do you think is the difference between a Donald Trump evangelical and a Joe Biden catholic?
41:06 - Do you think creating Christian content online does more good or bad?
44:49 - What advice would you give to small business owners who want to use things like Amazon or Facebook ads to support their business?
46:58 - How do we practically act out the practice described in 1 Corinthians 9:19-27 while staying truthful?
52:47 - If you “train to win”, does that mean setting higher expectations for yourself? And how do I pursue Godly asceticism without feeding my tendency toward self-hatred?
1:01:40 - If praying for increase of faith is wrong, what about praying for unbelief? Is there a difference between faith and unbelief
