Don’t be SPINELESS!! || Cross Culture Podcast Ep .57
2026/09/21
Being a believer doesn't mean being afraid to stand for what you believe.In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we talk about what it means to grow a spine and be bold as a Christian, having convictions, standing on them, and being willing to speak up when it would be easier to stay quiet.We discuss the pressure to fit in, the fear of people's opinions, compromising convictions to avoid conflict, and what boldness actually looks like in everyday life. Being bold doesn't mean being unnecessarily confrontational; it means having the courage to live consistently with what you believe.We also talk about how believers can navigate culture, friendships, work, relationships, and difficult conversations without losing their convictions or their love for people.As always, expect honest conversations, different perspectives, and our usual banter along the way. 😂

Using Trauma as an Excuse for Evil Has to Stop || Cross Culture Podcast Ep. 56
2026/09/12
What happens when we demand equality but suddenly make exceptions when accountability comes into the picture?
In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we have an honest conversation about equality, accountability, and the double standards that show up in modern culture.
We discuss why accountability shouldn't disappear simply because it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, or doesn't fit the narrative we want to protect. We also look at how society can apply different standards to different people and why consistency matters when we're talking about justice, responsibility, and fairness.
The conversation challenges some of the ideas we see in modern culture and asks a simple question: if we're going to demand equal treatment, shouldn't we also be willing to demand equal accountability?
As always, it's an honest conversation with different perspectives, strong opinions, and our usual banter along the way.

It's a conversation about salvation, faith, assurance, and the questions that often come up when we think about what it truly means to be saved.
As always, expect honest perspectives, different takes, plenty of questions, and our usual banter along the way.

There is an AGENDA!! | Special Reaction Episode || Cross Culture Podcast Ep .54
2026/08/28
Some questions sound simple… until you actually start talking about them.
In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we react to a couple of thought-provoking videos that raise some serious questions about God, evil, morality, and human nature.
We discuss the question of how an all-powerful and good God can exist in a world filled with so much suffering and evil, and wrestle with the different assumptions behind the question.
We also react to a controversial take about parenting and gender, exploring what it reveals about morality, culture, personal beliefs, and the way we think about human life.
As always, we're not just reacting for the sake of reacting. We unpack the ideas, challenge some of the arguments, share our perspectives, and have plenty of our usual banter along the way. 😂
It's another conversation about faith, culture, morality, and the difficult questions worth asking.

Drop Your Phone And TOUCH GRASS!! || Cross Culture Podcast Ep. 53
2026/08/21
Cross Culture Podcast Ep. 53
When was the last time you actually touched grass?!
In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we talk about what it means to stay connected to reality in a world that increasingly exists online.
From endless scrolling and social media to phone dependency and digital addiction, we unpack how constantly being connected can affect the way we think, relate to people, experience life, and even understand what is normal.
We talk about the pressure to always be online, the comparison that comes with social media, and why sometimes you simply need to put the phone down and experience life as it is.
Because there's a whole world outside your screen - and you probably should experience some of it. 😂
It's another honest conversation about culture, technology, everyday life, and the ways they shape us, with our usual banter along the way.

Lessons after 52 weeks! | Anniversary Episode || Cross Culture Podcast Ep. 52
2026/08/14
One year of Cross Culture Podcast! 🎙️🎉
What started as an idea has grown into a year of conversations, lessons, laughs, challenges, and moments we honestly didn't see coming. In this special anniversary episode, we reflect on the journey so far — the highs, the lows, what we've learnt about consistency, building something worthwhile, and staying committed even when it's difficult.
We also talk about the importance of having a Biblical worldview and allowing our faith to shape how we see culture, life, relationships, work, and the world around us.
It's a celebration of how far we've come, but also a reflection on where we're going. We touch on some of the lessons we've learnt along the way, the realities of building Cross Culture, and what it means to keep showing up.
And of course, expect plenty of our usual banter 😂. To everyone who has watched, listened, shared an episode, sent us a message, or simply supported Cross Culture in any way - thank you. This wouldn't be what it is without you.
Here's to year one, and to many more conversations where laughter is loud and the truth is louder. ❤️

Can You Be a Christian and Still Be Wicked? || Cross Culture Podcast Ep.49
2026/07/24
In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we explore what it really means to represent Christ in the way we treat people.
From the workplace to everyday relationships, we discuss the dangers of entitlement, especially from the perspective of employers and those in positions of influence. We also wrestle with a challenging question: Can someone profess Christ and still consistently mistreat people?
The conversation covers Christian character, walking in love, servant leadership, and why our conduct should reflect the Gospel we proclaim. We talk about integrity in leadership, kindness in the workplace, and the responsibility every believer has to be a faithful ambassador of Christ not just in words, but in actions.
This is an honest, practical conversation about faith lived out in everyday life, with our usual banter along the way.

Are You in a Church or a Cult? | Financial Abuse, Control & Red Flags | Cross Culture Podcast Ep. 44
2026/06/19
What separates a healthy church from a cult? And where do we draw the line when spiritual authority becomes manipulation?
In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we tackle some difficult but important conversations around financial abuse in church, unhealthy leadership practices, and the warning signs of cult-like environments.
We discuss how financial giving can be distorted, the dangers of manipulation disguised as spirituality, and the red flags that may indicate you're in a controlling religious environment rather than a healthy biblical community.
We also explore questions around accountability, authority, freedom, and what healthy church leadership should actually look like.
This isn't a conversation about attacking the Church—it's about encouraging discernment, promoting healthy Christian community, and helping believers recognize the difference between biblical leadership and spiritual control.
As always, expect honest conversation, thoughtful perspectives, and our usual banter along the way.
