One of my favorite things about the Mere Fidelity podcast is that it gets three or four (at least) different people together directly discussing a given topic. With writing this sort of direct interaction happens only rarely and usually in contentious circumstances—we don’t respond to someone else’s essay unless we think it is wrong in significant ways.
That, for me, sums up what made the Future of Protestantism such a successful event. Drs. Peter Leithart, Carl Trueman, and Fred Sanders had an hour and a half (I think…) to share a stage and discuss a specific topic, directly interacting with each other’s ideas.

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
