Imagine unlocking and starting your car with the wave of a hand. That's what a Michigan man has the ability to do with an RFID chip that's implanted in his hand. The chip is equipped to download apps -- including one for Teslas.

Host Mike Rogers talks to Texas Christian University religion professor Dr. Sage Elwell, who specializes in the intersection of the digital and theological, about the future of technology in our bodies. And we hear from Brandon Dalaly, the man with the implanted chip, courtesy of Audacy's KNX in Los Angeles.
