Matters of culture should matter to us—because they matter to God. Hosted by Elizabeth Woodson, Adam Griffin and Adam Hawkins, the Culture Matters podcast explores the intersection of faith and culture. Looking at everything from politics, art and entertainment to issues such as racial reconciliation and the sanctity of human life, we discuss what it looks like to live faithfully on mission—in the world but not of the world.
We round out this season of Culture Matters by looking at 1 Peter's framework of pursuing holiness, seeking the common good and staying hopeful amid suffering. We discuss everything from racial injustice and COVID-19 to politics and cancel culture.
We discuss the latest news around COVID-19, talking about masks, social distancing and what it looks like to reopen the economy and our churches.
We do a deep dive into the world of conspiracy theories, looking at popular theories of our day and the connection to evangelicals. Dr. Russell Moore of the ERLC and Thomas Novlan, a research and development engineer at AT&T, join us as special guests.
