episode Why the Church Must Reclaim Imagination and Storytelling [Featuring Eric Newman & Candace Lee] cover

Description

What if the greatest battle facing the next generation is the battle for their imaginations? In this episode of Culture & Christianity, Pastor Allen Jackson sits down with storytellers Eric Newman and Candace Lee to discuss their new book, George Goodwin, Dragon Slayer, and why courage, imagination, and identity matter now more than ever. Together, they unpack the cultural defeatism affecting young people, the dangers of “safe spaces” without resilience, and why Christians must raise "dragon slayers" instead of passive spectators. This conversation is a powerful reminder that faith was never meant to shrink back in fear—it was meant to overcome.

Remembering Brad Arnold: The Rock Star Who Chose Jesus Over Fame

What does it look like to have a faith that's impossible to keep private? In this special re-air of Culture & Christianity, Pastor Allen revisits his conversation with Brad Arnold, lead singer of 3 Doors Down, whose remarkable testimony became the inspiration for Pastor Allen's Dangerous Faith sermon series. Brad shares how God met him at one of the darkest moments of his life, transformed his future, and gave him the courage to boldly share the hope of Jesus with thousands of people. Brad passed away from cancer in February 2026, and his story lives on as a powerful reminder that faith isn't meant to stay inside the walls of the church. It's meant to be lived boldly wherever God has placed us. We pray this conversation encourages you to trust God's transforming power and inspires you to share your own God story with the people around you.

God Is Moving—Are We Paying Attention?

Have we become so focused on what's wrong with America that we've forgotten what's right? As visitors from around the world celebrate the freedoms, opportunities, and abundance they find here, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages Christians to see our nation through a different lens. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, he reflects on the blessings we often overlook, the importance of cultivating gratitude, and several recent policy victories that align with a biblical worldview—from securing the border and protecting children to defending religious freedom and the sanctity of life. This episode is a call to thank God for His faithfulness, appreciate the courage of leaders willing to stand for biblical values, and use our own voices to help preserve the freedoms and principles that have made America such a remarkable nation.
