Book: Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What to Do about It, by David Zahl

Book Notes

In this episode of BookNotes, host Jackie Quinn introduces the book "Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What to Do about It" by David Zahl. The book explores how modern-day obsessions—from career success to parenting, technology to politics—have taken on quasi-religious significance in our lives, offering pathways to self-justification and a sense of "enoughness." Zahl illustrates how these "seculosities" often promise fulfillment but leave us more anxious and disconnected than ever before. Tune in to learn how to reconsider daily pursuits through a lens of compassion and grace, that the gospel offers instead of the exhausting cycle of seculosity. Resources:
