Living Lament

Welcome to Theology with Dr. AM Hackney. This podcast is focused on the vocational calling of Christians to be theologians. You’ll find episodes on systematic theology, spiritual formation, scriptural interpretation, and ethics.  I’m your host, Dr. Amanda Hackney.

"Who Do You Say That I Am?" Jesus and Popular Culture

Welcome to Theology with Dr. AM Hackney. This podcast is focused on the vocational calling of Christians to be theologians. You’ll find episodes on systematic theology, spiritual formation, scriptural interpretation, and ethics.  I’m your host, Dr. Amanda Hackney. In today’s episode, I’m talking about two of my favourite subjects: theology and geek culture, as we explore Jesus’ question “Who Do You Say that I Am?” and spend some time looking at images and allusions to the person and work of Jesus in popular culture. I’m joined by a special guest, someone who has an even more impressive geek credential than myself: Dr. Charles Hackney. That’s right, today’s episode is another Dr. Hackney and Dr. Hackney team-up.
