Welcome to a bonus episode of Transforming Culture! During our recording sessions last summer, Kevin Wilcox (our episode guest when we talked about Deconstruction) and I discovered that we both had a big passion for the music of Jon Guerra - and it led to the song Citizens being chosen as our theme song for this first season of Transforming Culture. We decided to sit down and talk about that a little bit, and here is that conversation! ----- ----- -----Speaker Bio:Kevin Wilcox is an Assistant Crown Attorney in the Durham Region with a background in criminal defence. He is a candidate for a Master of Laws at the University of Ottawa where he is currently completing his thesis project on human trafficking within Canada’s pornography industry. He has also served overseas with International Justice Mission assisting with anti-slavery litigation in South Asia. He has served various ministry roles over the course of his life, ranging from inner-city ministry building community with street-involved and homeless populations to camp, youth, and worship ministry across Southern Ontario. Kevin is passionate about “visiting the widow and the orphan in their affliction”, and seeing the Body of Christ respond to the world’s suffering in the name, love, and power of our Almighty God.----- ----- -----Show Credits:Transforming Culture is a production of Muskoka Bible Centre.Producer: Luke LaRocqueEditing, Sound Design and Mixing: Abishek VargheseAudio and Technical Support: Abishek VargheseTheme song: “Citizens” by Jon GuerraGraphic design: Christina te-Bokkel Hotz

Welcome to our final episode of the first season of Transforming Culture! We're thrilled to have Sean Sheeran bring everything together as he talks about unity in the church - enjoy!

It's almost the end of season 1 of Transforming Culture - time flies when you're wrestling with complex issues! Join us to hear from Steve West as he talks about social justice and how to talk about it with others.

Welcome to our first all-digital episode of Transforming Culture! We're excited to have Scotty Smith from Nashville, Tennessee on our show to talk about social media in a divided world!

Welcome to our next episode of Transforming Culture! We're on a bit of a journey this week - we needed more time with the audio from Scotty Smith, so we're changing up the episode order! Our bumped episode from Week 3 about deconstruction is now ready, so we're slotting that in right now for you to listen in! You'll noticed a difference in the audio quality and format this week - we ended up doing a complete re-record of the topic due to audio quality issues, so you get to hear us chatting from Kevin's home in southern Ontario. We should be back on track next week with our session on social media with Scotty Smith.NOTE: during our conversation, Kevin talks about sexual assault in a non-specific way, but we know that it is a hard conversation for some. Please be aware of this before listening to this episode with your younger kids.  ----- ----- -----Speaker Bio:Kevin Wilcox is an Assistant Crown Attorney in the Durham Region with a background in criminal defence.
