In this episode Sandra Glahn helps us read Scripture the way we already know how to read a story. We talk about the women we've skipped as bunny trails, handed only to women, flattened into ideals, or made into sinners the text never called sinners —... more

Joshua Johnson’s Shifting Culture show is one I found by accident, and I’m so grateful. He interviews a wide range of people with views and voices across the global church, but what makes his episodes stand out is his gift for interviewing. I think another reviewer noted he reads the guests’ books in full and puts a lot of thought into the questions he asks, and the interviews are much better than many other shows out there for this reason. I appreciate his heart to transform our culture after J... more
Do You want to be inspired and challenged, to have your thinking expanded. Then take a listen here. You just might find what you’re looking for.
This podcast is powerful because Joshua spends the time to read and research the work of each person he interviews. Most of the guests are surprised to find how much he knows about the intricacies of their work. I’ve listened to other podcasts that many of these guests have appeared on and Shifting Culture has consistently been a more enjoyable listen because of the investment of the one conducting the interview.
Every conversation has been interesting and impactful.
I’ve just discovered this podcast and I’m so glad - varied guests with time to expand on their ideas in this format. Thank you!

Long-form conversations at the crossroads of faith, culture, justice, and embodied love. The show features authors, theologians, academics, and cultural thinkers who explore how faith can translate into practical action, hospitality, and reform in communities. Episodes consistently center questions of marginalization, public life, and how biblical and theological ideas shape social ethics, with a bias toward thoughtful, research-informed discussion and humane, hopeful storytelling. A distinctive thread across episodes is a patient, people-centered approach—listening to voices from the margins, wrestling with difficult questions, and offering concrete pathways for readers and listeners to participate in justice-minded faith.
