What comes to your mind when you think about God? A.W. Tozer famously wrote that this is the most important thing about us but what if the God we imagine isn't the God revealed in Scripture? 

A.W. Tozer famously wrote, “What comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us,” but our culture offers countless different pictures of who God is.

In this episode, we go back to Genesis 1–3 to discover a biblical picture of God as Elohim-the eternal, all-powerful Creator; Yahweh-the personal, covenant-keeping God; and Jesus-the Savior who delivers us from sin.

Why can a song reach places in our hearts that ordinary conversation sometimes can't? In this episode of the Living Grounded Podcast, Ron sits down with Grammy-recognized, Dove Award-winning artist and songwriter Laura Story to explore why music speaks so powerfully to the human soul and why even a culture that wants little to do with God continues to sing about love, hope, belonging, suffering, and something beyond ourselves.

Wicked asks us to reconsider a story we thought we knew and to question who really deserves to be called “good” or “wicked.”

In a culture that is constantly labeling people as heroes, villains, dangerous, or righteous, who gets to define good and evil?

Why does a culture that increasingly says it doesn't need God keep telling stories about gods, destiny, supernatural powers, temptation, judgment, salvation-and the longing to get home? Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey gives us a fascinating window into the human heart, because Odysseus' journey is about far more than getting back to a place; it is about belonging, identity, love, and home. 

What happens when a culture that says it doesn't need God can't stop singing about longing, emptiness, morality, identity, sacrifice, and the search for something more? In this episode of Living Grounded, Ron Moore, Jill Kowalski, and Tom Rojahn explore what secular music may reveal about the spiritual hunger that exists beneath the surface of our culture. 

Our culture may be increasingly secular, but it keeps talking about God—in our music, movies, stories, and conversations about meaning, love, justice, sacrifice, redemption, and salvation. 

What shapes the things we love most? In this thoughtful episode of the Living Grounded Podcast, Ann Marie Pirnat reflects on the enduring gift of Christian friendship, the wisdom of Augustine's ordo amoris—the right ordering of our loves—and the transforming power of Scripture.
