From the American church's missteps to the broader cultural distrust of expertise, they consider why loving God with your whole mind is essential. Balancing a call for excellence with humility and grace, they offer an optimistic vision of how Christians can engage and influence the world as thoughtful, faithful people.

The Intersection is a podcast where faith engages the complexities of our modern world. Though intersections sometimes feel risky, they are where real dialogue happens, they are where we find direction and discover where to go next.
