Nathan and Cameron explore the growing debate over the decline of literacy, asking whether society is truly reading less—or simply reading differently. Drawing on recent discussions about education, digital media, attention spans, and Christian discipleship, they examine how technology, social media, and changing cultural habits have reshaped the way people interpret, process, and engage with information. From Charles Dickens, Dante, and Neil Postman to Pokémon, emojis, and digital literacy, the conversation challenges common assumptions about what it means to be literate in the modern world. They also discuss the importance of deep reading, focused attention, the shared cultural "commons," and why cultivating thoughtful engagement with Scripture, books, and ideas remains essential for Christian living. Whether you're interested in literacy, education, theology, reading habits, digital culture, or the future of critical thinking, this episode offers a thoughtful and practical discussion on how Christians can flourish in an age of distraction.
