Listen Later

Food delivery didn’t start with pizza. It’s as least as old as the Bible. But ordering food is now easier than ever. Food delivery apps are transforming how we find food and consume it like never before.

Transforming not just the making and eating, but also space and time. Food has a story and a history. And even a theology. How will food delivery apps shape them all?

For Christians, whose faith finds its focus around a table, food delivery apps are worth thinking about deeply. Get started here.
