The first episode of Pop Culture Matters, with Martin Strong, is now available. In this episode we discuss how pop culture resonates spiritually with us in terms of content and community. And we discuss Gospel music, especially Straight Street by Ry Cooder. The link for the song is in the show notes so listen to the song and join us for our conversation.
