Welcome to Ideology, a podcast where we explore the shift in Western culture from operating within a predominantly Judeo-Christian belief system to a primarily secular belief system and how followers of Jesus can be formed into the image of Christ in this context. We chose "Ideology" for its etymology (idea, or pattern; + logos, or word/discourse). It is the science of ideas - the pattern of disco... more

  • Great Overview

    I really appreciate that Drew and Mick provide a nice overview of many topics. They’ve helped me learn about some topics I didn’t even know about, but found interesting, and then was able to go and dig deeper into those topics. They’ve also been helpful in giving me language for beliefs I’m growing into but didn’t know how to define. I would definitely recommend this podcast!

  • Protect the Patriarchy!

    I was at this church for 10yrs. Mick was a leader of mine for a period of time. This podcast is absolutely absurd and seems to be set on protecting the church and leaders from the evolving societal awareness of how poorly functioning these organizations are. I’ve reached out to many of these leaders myself about troubling topics. I’m surprised and not surprised that this podcast is way more of a response than I have ever received. Solidifies a lot.
