Pop Culture Redemption

Welcome to Pop Culture Redemption, a show determined to help the Church have better vision for God"s working and presence in pop culture. Join us as we figure out how to be Christ"s ambassadors to the world by engaging with what is good, bad, and redemptive within popular culture. When we better understand popular culture and see God"s work in it, we better understand how to "work the harvest" (Matt 9:37-38) and "make God"s appeal to the world" as Christ"s ambassadors (2 Cor 5:20-21).
