Christ and Pop Culture
Summary: Christ and Pop Culture acknowledges the good, the beautiful, and the true in pop culture, no matter how trivial or inevitable, indulging in and enjoying examples of common grace we find in the world without uncritically embracing the worldviews they flow from. We aren’t interested in redeeming, baptizing, abandoning, or dominating culture; we desire to be a faithful presence, honoring God and edifying our neighbor as we wisely participate in culture.

Both were surprised by its gentle, quiet retelling of two amazingly talented runners vying for Olympic Gold in 1924.
