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

Customer Reviews
Always challenged.
The variety of topics, guests and perspectives is always challenging, helpful and encouraging. Loving the latest season!
Able to see multiple perspectives
I am a bit of a podcast junkie and this is one I listen to regularly. I love how the hosts are able to look at issues from multiple perspectives in an effort to really understand people and events. It’s a skill many of us have lost in recent years but one I really value, regardless of my position on any particular topic. I particularly enjoy the recent episodes on technology and formation. Keep up the great work, guys!
Applicable and challenging
The Christian life is not one to be done in isolation. Culture is beautiful and this podcast encourages me to think differently about it. It challenges me toward my own metacognition. I embrace the cognitive dissonance. I’m grateful for what the Lord has taught me about the gospel and culture. It is so encouraging to me in my walk with Christ, my relationship with my brothers and sisters in Christ and the world. I highly recommend this podcast to all who are willing to lend an ear and not assume the political beliefs of the hosts. May you use this as an opportunity to listen to different opinions without labeling as the world quickly does. The beauty of nuance is helpful and godly.
