Episode 143 Why Does Culture Keep Talking About God?
September 01, 2026
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. Why does a culture that wants little to do with God keep bringing Him back into the conversation? In this episode, Ron Moore explores three biblical reasons: We are made in God’s image. Eternity is set in our hearts. We are looking for a Savior. As we listen carefully to our culture, we may discover that beneath its attempts to live without God is a deep longing for the One in whose image we were made. You can push God to the margins, but you can’t push him out of the picture.
