Episode Synopsis


After a quick chat about Gladiators, Stu, Tim and Joel dive into a X thread by Dave Adamson. What follows is a wide-ranging discussion on church, culture and their impact on church leaders.Is Australian society antagonistic towards Christianity with it obviously being in the minority now?

The response falls amongst Andy Crouch's work which says that Christians can condemn, critique, copy or consume culture.
