The Cultured Christian Podcast: Recent Episodes

The Cultured Christian

Christianity and Culture aren’t always at odds. In fact, being part of culture is important. It’s that “salt and light” thing.

The Cultured Christian Podcast is about finding the sweet spot. Influencing culture, enjoying and participating in the creativity and craziness of this world.

Maybe you’re like us, far from perfect, at times feeling outside of the Christian Bubble. Your language can be “colorful,” your bourbon neat, cigars spicy and your Netflix cue trendy.

Join us each week on the journey to authenticity as we meet at the intersection of culture, tech and faith.

This week on the podcast I had the pleasure of speaking with a friend of mine, Kirk Miller on what makes strong men. Stemming from Kirk challenging a quote I shared recently on my Facebook page, our conversation covers the surprisingly complex topic of masculinity and its effect on our society. While Kirk and I don't agree on alot of things, I appreciate greatly the insight he brings as a husband, father, veteran and a member of the Mt Hood Ski Patrol.

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. // G. Michael Hopf

We discuss:

  • Do you think we live in a time where by and large society is making more strong or more weak men?
  • Define strong and weak men.
  • Is toxic masculinity a thing?
  • Where do we go from here?
