Kingdom Culture Conversations
You were created on purpose. You have a purpose. You are not biochemical happenstance. Rather, you are Imago Dei, created in God's image and likeness to be Kingdom Come in a world that is in desperate need of His Son!
For the Summer of 2026, as part of our annual Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading campaign, we are exploring this theme, using the book "Consider the Cost" by creationist Russ Miller, to spur these conversations. It's going to be a fun summer as we converse with recognized though leaders in young Earth creationism, theistic evolution, geocentricity, flat Earth, and many other perspectives! Where does Northwest Christian land on this? Where will you land?
Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona is pleased to present "Kingdom Culture Conversations", a podcast committed to exploring the issues that shape culture from the perspective of a Biblical worldview. Through enlightening and interesting topical conversations, you will hear diverse perspectives that inform our prayers as we pray "Thy Kingdom Come"...
