  • 30. The Tortured Poets Department Anthology - A Christian Perspective
    Jun 4 2024
    Welcome back to Pop Culture Redemption! We’re kicking off Season 2 with a nice small little album called “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.” Taylor Swift’s newest album set a Spotify record of 300 million streams in a single day, so the fellas at PopCR thought it would be culturally applicable to review the album from a Christian perspective. We hope you enjoy the conversation. WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

  • 29. Christian Culture Condemnation - April Fools, Cards Christians Like, and More with Zach Fleming
    Apr 2 2024

    Welcome to Pop Culture Redemption, a podcast determined to help the Church have better vision for God’s working in Popular Culture. This week, in honor of April Fools Day, we flipped the script. Instead of “Pop Culture Redemption,” we will instead dive into “Christian Culture Condemnation.” With a more prophetic tone, Connor, Jacob, and Jordan draw on inspiration from the popular Christian card game “Cards Christians Like” to discuss what needs to change within American Christian culture. Zach Fleming returns to guest star on the podcast. Topics include posting your quiet time on social media, celebrity pastors, the professionalization of worship, and so much more. You won’t want to miss it!
