Culture Matters — Christianity
Culture Matters

Matters of culture should matter to us—because they matter to God. Hosted by Elizabeth Woodson, Adam Hawkins and Tymarcus Ragland—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.

Work and Worship with Dr. Walter Strickland Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Walter Strickland about his book Every Waking Hour, which addresses the question: When we think of faith and work, how can I use my place of work to glorify God? And how is what I do on a day-to-day basis matter to God as part of his creation? Strickland argues there is even a way to tie our work into an argument for God's better design.
