About Us

Welcome to our community of Christian, pop-culture enthusiasts! We produce a digital magazine, podcast, and videos that help believers connect their fandom with their faith.

Faith and pop culture already coexist in the lives of many Christians. We hope to bring intentionality and discipleship to that reality. As we watch television shows and movies, listen to music, or play video games, there are a few key questions we consider:

  • How does this show, movie, music, or video game interact with God’s story?
  • Does it echo the gospel in some fashion?
  • Does it provide evidence of our need for the good news?
  • Does it contradict our understanding of the world in a way that deserves a loving response?

We try to answer these questions with grace, appreciation, and discernment. Rooted in the Reformed tradition, we recognize that all of culture falls beneath God's sovereignty and that by his common grace believers and unbelievers alike are capable of creating beautiful things. We do not attempt to “baptize” popular culture, but rather recognize that we sometimes see glimpses of God’s truth in unlikely places. There is no such thing as secular, so let’s consider Christianity and pop culture together. Will you join us?

You can find us on Facebook and Twitter, or sign up to receive our articles, podcasts, and videos via email.
