It’s so big, we had to bring on a guest to give additional perspective and insight! Welcome back to the show Priscilla Poettker!

    Welcome back to Pop Culture Redemption! In today’s episode, the gang is diving into John Krasinski’s movie “IF.” A fun-loving movie celebrating childhood imagination, “IF” leads the audience on a young girl’s personal journey of handling the fear of loss through the help of her imaginary friends (“IF”). Also, SO MANY CAMEOS! So pull up a chair and let’s have a chat on how God is at work in this movie.

    30. The Tortured Poets Department Anthology - A Christian Perspective
    Jun 4 2024
    Welcome back to Pop Culture Redemption! We’re kicking off Season 2 with a nice small little album called “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.” Taylor Swift’s newest album set a Spotify record of 300 million streams in a single day, so the fellas at PopCR thought it would be culturally applicable to review the album from a Christian perspective.
