Death of Literature: Does It Matter What We Read?

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on the cultural decline of literary fiction and why it matters for our spiritual and intellectual growth. He argues that thoughtful reading deepens our understanding of truth, encourages slow, reflective thinking, and helps shape our moral and theological imagination. Literature, like Scripture, invites us into deeper stories that challenge and form us—and Pastor Zach reminds us to nourish our minds and hearts with more than just “snackable” content.Have an article you’d like Pastor Zach to discuss?
