The tragic death of Sir David Amess MP last week triggered a number of "hot takes" from journalists and politicians. Many factors have been blamed including social media and heightened political rhetoric. What do we learn from these attempts to find a root cause? And what do we learn from examining the life of Sir David himself? Such lessons might not be the ones our political commentators have promoted.Support the show

Tonight on the SpeakEasy, Glen Scrivener and Nate Morgan Locke discuss the prevalence of expressive individualism. Modern people focus on ourselves, our journeys, our identities. We minimise the influence of history, family, culture, institutions—even biology. Instead we spotlight our personal experience and individual choices. But why?The turn towards the self took a decisive step in 1517 and evangelicals have been treading the path ever since. Are we to blame for this massive emphasis on "identity"?Support the show
