What exactly is transhumanism—and why should Christians care?
In this episode of the Counteract Podcast, Abigail DeJarnatt is joined by her brother Caleb (a seminary student and Counteract USA leader) as they unpack the worldview behind transhumanism--from Enlightenment roots to modern-day technologies like Neuralink, “Luke arms,” and mind uploading.
They wrestle with the ethical lines between medicine and manipulation, how secular humanism and pride drive the movement, and why the imago Dei is at the center of the Christian response.
With plenty of Marvel references, laughter, and theology, this episode digs into the real dangers of trying to “progress without purpose.”
“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” - Genesis 1:27 ESV
