Renewal in the Metaverse | Various Passages

The metaverse is coming! But while a full-blown metaverse is most likely decades away, much of the foundational impulses driving the metaverse are very much present today and serve as obstacles to renewal. Those obstacles are: the distortion of identity, the disintegration of community, and the dethronement of God. If we want to be able to wisely navigate life in the metaverse, we need to cultivate habits that deny the self, foster community, and prioritize worship. These habits keep us rooted in Christ, and by being rooted, we can experience renewal, even in the metaverse.
