The Micah Podcast

Joy, Jin, and Bret welcome North Park Theological Seminary student and leader Tricia Ivanoff. They discuss her Alaskan Inuit community, and the challenge of navigating competing visions of God, truth, and justice.

At this moment in history, it seems many swaths of the American church are fueled by a fire far different than the divine fire of God. Michael Emerson’s January 27 talk at Midwinter 2022 stokes this conversation.

For years, a pressing conversation in churches has been around the missional challenge of engaging a Post-Christian culture. This episode presses that conversation further in discussion of Russell Moore’s recent Christianity Today article, “The Capitol Attack Signaled a Post-Christian Church, Not Merely a Post-Christian Culture.”

In this episode Jin, Joy, and Bret discuss feeling at home at church, deconstruction, and the culture’s shifting trust of formal institutions. They also touch on how young people are looking for liturgical congregations—something Joy calls their “ancestral homes.”
