Sometimes God speaks through random chance encounters. This week's episode comes from a conversation that resulted from one of those encounters. Join us as we break down a couple of songs by Metallica and see what they show us about Salvation History and how they point to Christ. The word 'Gospel' literally means 'Good News' and though it may not seem like it, the dark and heavy messages in this song actually lead us to a story full of hope and light centered around Christ himself. #WelcomeToTheAdventure

- 'Until it Sleeps' by Metallica - Lyrics Genius — “Until It Sleeps” is the first single and the fourth song from Metallica’s 1996 album Load. It was written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. It was the band’s first number one song on the US Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, as well as their first and only song to hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 10
- 'Creeping Death' by Metallica - Lyrics Genius — Based on the story of the first Passover from the Book of Exodus, “Creeping Death” is a brutal retelling of the story of the Angel Of Death. When the Pharaoh refused to release the Hebrew slaves, God sent down an angel to take the lives of every firstborn child, unless the house was marked with blood.
- The Christ-IN Culture Episode on the song 'Shadows' by Macklemore ft. IRO - "Runnin' From the Shadows" — By request, this week we discuss two songs by Macklemore. The first song is "Intentions" and the second "Shadows." These two songs show a progression of ones desire to be better and escape the confinements of sin, complacency in that sin, and the consequences of remaining there years later. We discuss themes like desire, addiction, weaknesses, sin, triumphs, Identity, and so much more! #WelcomeToTheAdventure
- The Christ-IN Culture Episode on Sunshine - "Icarus" — The sun is dying and we've built a bomb the size of Manhattan to fix the issue. Eight people, sent into space to drop the payload, come across trials, drama, and many challenging moral dilemmas in this Sci-Fi thriller: Sunshine. How can we rationalize morality within our faith? And will we discuss the obvious theme of light and darkness yet again? Tune in this week to find out. #WelcomeToTheAdventure
