In this edition of First Mondays, our guest panelist is Dr. Justin Barrett, professor of psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, president of Blueprint 1543, and co-author of Thriving with Stone Age Minds (2021).

Over the millennia, we have shifted from foraging to farming, from close-knit farming towns to the anonymous metropolis, and from coal-fueled factories to the digital information age. But have we designed a world that is suitable for human thriving?

Dr. Barrett explains that there is a widening gap between the way God designed us and the world that previous generations have created. This misalignment appears in our work, economic systems, family relationships, and sense of self-worth. The wider the gap, the more we might experience increasing stress and anxiety.

During this conversation, Dr. Barrett will share his research about how modern society affects us and how we can make practical changes to be more aligned with God’s designs for life.
