Deeper Podcast

Deeper is a podcast considering the forces that shape our culture. Are the movies we watch, the cultural practices we participate in, and the music we listen to influencing us in more theological, psychological, and sociological ways than we might initially be aware? There are no rules in this discussion. We are NOT looking to find an answer. We are simply exploring and humoring different theories.

The Deeper is hosted by my son-in-law Payton, our friend Lex, and myself.  You can comment and access show notes at DeeperPodcast.com. You can also follow us on Facebook at Faceebook.com/DeeperPodcast.
