HSo much has changed in the last 20 years, and we are all overwhelmed with life on social media. Dr. Brent Robbins and I talk about some of the mental health issues that people deal with online and some ways to keep ourselves healthy in the digital age.
How do we show mercy in the digital age when we are so separated from each other and only interact with many people over social media? Dr Brent Robbins and I talk about the history of the psychological study of mercy and we talk about how we can show mercy to others, especially when how they see the seem to be diametrically opposed to our own views. Showing mercy in the digital age can be very difficult, how can we do it?
Today Todd Engelsen and I talk more about the mission of PEER Servants in the area of MicroFinance. We also look into what it means as part of the Kingdom of God that Jesus talks about, not just a spiritual reality, but an economic and social reality. How can we empower the poor around the world to become a part of improving the world.
On this episode of Nerding Out, we talk to Todd Engelsen, president of PEER Servants, on how he went from being a successful actuary to the president of a micro-finance organization.

In this episode, Dr. Brent Robbins and I dive deeper into his work researching joy, or finding “the good life”. We go into the 4 kinds of joy and the existential tradition behind the modern understanding of what joy is. We get deep and nerdy about joy, but in the end try to find out where true joy comes from. We also see the four kinds of seeking joy in the great movie Groundhog Day.
