See the bigger picture. Culture, theology, history, politics, the Church, and more.

Introducing #HolyPostMedia - See the Bigger Picture. We bring conversations together to navigate living a faithful Christian life in an increasingly post-Christian culture. Theologically orthodox & pro-neighbor, we tackle serious issues without taking ourselves too seriously.

Is evangelicalism good? Bad? Worth fixing? Are these even the right questions? In a rare 4-host conversation, @philvischer, @skyejethani, @kaitlynschiess & @esaumccualley sit down to unpack the weird world of evangelicalism, what gets distorted when white evangelicalism becomes the default story, and whether this movement so many people keep debating even looks anything like Jesus. Then we turn the conversation inward. Where do we land on all of this? What's HPM's responsibility & calling in the Christian media ecosystem? 🎙️Holy Post Podcast 739 is out now - join us wherever you get your podcasts.

"As a Bible-believing Christian, sometimes you're going to sound conservative and sometimes you're going to sound progressive. The problem is when you only sound conservative or you only sound progressive - that means the framework has kind of hijacked your theology." @charliedates on 🎙️Holy Post 736
