Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Ezra fellow Dr. Michael Thiessen and Canadian Director Pastor Nate Wright wade into the latest controversy concerning the latest New St. Andrews College AD and Johnny Cash's famous (infamous?) hand gesture. This leads them to discuss the importance of setting a culture in churches and other institutions. They explore the role of pastors as cultural architects and the impact of culture on various aspects of church life. In an age of radical unbelief, how do we raise reformed rebels? Tune in to find out.
