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.

Wisdom & Singleness
In this episode, Elizabeth is joined by a few friends to discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding singleness in both secular and Christian culture. They share their personal experiences navigating singleness and address harmful lies that often creep into the conversation, such as the notion that being single means something is wrong with you or that marriage is the only path to sanctification. Additionally, we explore a biblical view of singleness and sexuality in a post-christian culture that holds sexual expression as integral to being truly human.

Customer Reviews
Culture Matters
Covers an impressive range of topics, cultural and political, with a biblical analysis and lots of pastoral insight. Never afraid to address current controversies. Worth listening to.
Deep Topics, Shallow content
So glad to see a podcast focussed on culture but disappointed at the superficial exploration and discussion of the topics. It’s like listening to a group of buddies at the local Starbucks; quickly apparent that none have ever read anything other than a bible school pamphlet.
Listen to “This cultural moment” for contrast
