While marriage can be easy for some, the reality of two sinners entering into union with each other is often fraught with hardship. This week we chat with Laurie and Matt Krieg on their own personal journey through marital strife and what it has taught them about love and the gospel.

Impossible Marriage with Matt and Laurie Krieg

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.

Liz is back and the studio has never felt more alive! She joins us to pick apart this year's Oscars. This episode isn't just about the glitz of the gala; it's our reflections on the highlights, the lowlights, the war and peace narratives threading through recent cinema, the cultural disconnect that often plagues the Oscars and why we (mostly Adam) think film is still so important for art and creativity. We wrap up with our personal top picks from 2023.
 Join us for a celebration of storytelling, a critical look at cultural engagement, and loads of hot sports — ahem, film — opinions!

Church Planting & Community Flourishing

On this episode we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly...of institutions. Are there any redeeming qualities to institutions anymore? We start with a working definition of institutions and then dive into some of the most problematic elements of today's institutions. We specifically explore the value of religious institutions and where we have hope for them.
