Description

Welcome to Ideology, a podcast where we explore the shift in Western culture from operating within a predominantly Judeo-Christian belief system to a primarily secular belief system and how followers of Jesus can be formed into the image of Christ in this context. We chose "Ideology" for its etymology (idea, or pattern; + logos, or word/discourse). It is the science of ideas - the pattern of discourse that impacts how we perceive reality.
