Shifting Culture
Shifting Culture is a podcast about faith, justice, and spiritual formation in a divided world. Hosted by Joshua Johnson, the show features long-form conversations with authors, theologians, artists, and cultural thinkers exploring the way of Jesus, nonviolence, reconciliation, and human dignity.
Each episode goes beyond theory to ask practical questions: How do we break cycles of violence and fear? What does it mean to love our enemies? How do faith, culture, creativity, and justice shape the way we live together? If you’re searching for thoughtful conversations on spiritual growth, justice, and healing (especially for those disillusioned with shallow answers) Shifting Culture offers depth, honesty, and hope.
