  • Christians and Transhumanists Want the Same Thing: Competing Forms of Faith with Jose Luis Cordeiro
    May 15 2026

    "Christians want the same thing transhumanists do. We just believe we're already going to get it."
    From the BOLD Awards in Barcelona, Keith Koo sits down with Jose Luis Cordeiro - author of "The Death of Death" and one of the world's leading voices on transhumanism - for the companion conversation to this week's Silicon Valley Insider. The SVI episode covered the science of cryonics and the 2045 forecast. On Ten Talents the question shifts: what does any of this mean for a Christian worldview?
    Origin. Purpose. Ethics. Destiny. The four questions every worldview has to answer - and the answers a Christian and a transhumanist give to each.
    Inside this episode:

    How modern medicine has redefined the line between life and death
    The British tourist reanimated after six hours in a frozen river in the Pyrenees
    An Italian climber reanimated after eight and a half hours
    Biblical lifespans: Methuselah at 969, Noah at 600+, Moses at 120, King David's 70-80
    Life expectancy in the Roman Empire (20 years) compared to today (80)
    Animal life extension: mice doubled, fruit flies quadrupled, C. elegans extended tenfold
    Game theory and why longer lives may produce more cooperation, not less
    Cordeiro's response to the dictator-living-forever question
    The faith-and-science question: contradiction or complement?
    Jose's surprising line on Jesus and a thousand-year life that most Christians have never heard a transhumanist say out loud

    In Segment 2, Keith follows the conversation with a reflection on apologetics, drawing on the work of Oxford mathematician John Lennox. The reframe: this is not faith versus no faith. It is a conversation between competing forms of faith. One puts confidence in technology and human progress. The other puts it in a person and a promise. Both require belief about what cannot yet be seen.
    Plus practical guidance for having spiritual conversations at work, at the dinner table, and wherever they happen: don't lead with answers, listen for what the other person is hoping for, plant seeds, and remember that not every conversation finishes in one sitting.
    "The Death of Death" by Jose Luis Cordeiro - available on Amazon in 15 languages.

  • Finding Integrity: Larry Hill’s Journey with the Domos Project
    Jan 24 2026

    In this episode of Ten Talents, host Keith Koo sits down with Larry Hill, founder of Cal Pro Research and the Domos Project, for a deeply personal and reflective conversation about integrity, identity, and calling.

    Larry shares his journey from a successful career in technology and business into a season of deep questioning—what he describes as a midlife reckoning that ultimately became a spiritual awakening. Out of that journey, the Domos Project was born.

    Rather than chasing outward success, Larry explains how God redirected his focus inward—toward understanding identity in Christ and living with integrity as a whole person, especially in the marketplace.

    🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways

    • Larry Hill’s background in technology, business, and leadership

    • The moment success no longer answered deeper questions of purpose

    • A midlife crisis that became a spiritual inflection point

    • Personal encounters with God that reshaped Larry’s understanding of identity

    • The meaning of integrity as wholeness, not moral perfection

    • The origin story of the Domos Project and why it exists

    • Why identity in Christ must precede calling, gifting, or ministry

    • The marketplace as a legitimate and powerful mission field

    • Equipping believers to live as marketplace ministers

    • Creating space for formation rather than performance-driven faith

    🎯 Why This Conversation Matters

    This episode is especially relevant for professionals, founders, and leaders who sense a growing gap between outward success and inward alignment. Larry’s story is a reminder that God often uses disruption—not comfort—to bring clarity, healing, and renewed purpose.
