Ep 66 How to Avoid Fleeting Modernism with Brett McCracken
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke sits down with author Brett McCracken to discuss how modern culture pulls people toward constant novelty, distraction, and shallow thinking. Drawing from ideas in his book The Wisdom Pyramid, Brett explains how the flood of information in the digital age can distort priorities and why pursuing deeper sources of wisdom is essential for living with clarity and purpose.
The conversation explores Brett’s personal journey as a writer, the challenges modern church goers face in navigating culture, and the habits that help cultivate discernment and maturity. Listeners will walk away with practical insights on how to resist the pull of fleeting modern trends and instead pursue a more grounded, thoughtful, and disciplined life.
