Why are we so fascinated with the apocalyptic genre in pop culture? It is not a new fascination. There are some categorical differences between how culture and Christian talk about apocalypse, but a conversation between the two leads to greater depth and growth. Join us for this special feature on Coffee with the Pastors, where we are joined with guest hosts Pastor Nathan Hollenberg and Pastor Andy Duffey as we discuss what apocalypse means from a Christian perspective.

Earth Day is upon us. Why should people of faith care about creation? What biblical and theological themes help us think about Christian perspectives on creation? Join us for this conversation as we consider our responsibility toward all that God created.

What happens if we allow ourselves to move through Holy Week feeling the weight of each day with intentionality and purpose. By the time we get to Easter the joy is multiplied and the truth of the Gospel is even more meaningful. Tune in to hear our exploration of the significance of Holy Week. May it bless you this week as your journey alongside Jesus.

Why is it important for Christians to consider their relationship with pop culture? And how does one go about deciding what is the best way to interact with pop culture?

Once a month, Coffee with the Pastors will host a special feature called "Popcorn with the Pastors". This feature ill include special guests Nathan Hollenberg (not a Duffey) and Andy Duffey (not a Hollenberg). The first feature will drop next week on March 28th!
