In our Season 5 wrap-up, Brad and John unpack how the recent vibe shift is reshaping cultural narratives—and what it means for Christians today.
Key Points:
What is a vibe shift?
Should digitalization affect how the Church does cultural apologetics?
How has social media affected our individual and cultural narratives?
What happens when the vibe shift goes to D.C.?
The Church is still God's Plan A.

Why the Church is Necessary with Truth Over Tribe
Today, Brad joins the Truth Over Tribe podcast to discuss his recent book, "The Reason For Church."
He and Patrick Miller discuss why Christian culture has been stuck in an anti-vision mindset and why a negative perception around institutions as a whole is partly to blame. Brad details why the Church is so necessary and explains how many Christians have forgotten the Church’s role as a source of healing and community. But what about people who have experienced spiritual abuse at the hands of the Church? We hope this episode offers an honest-yet-hopeful vision for church as a necessary institution.

The Vibe Shift Is Metamodern with Paul Anleitner
Paul Anleitner explores metamodernism as a cultural and philosophical movement that responds to postmodern cynicism with renewed sincerity and hope.
Key points:
Metamodernism emerges from exhaustion with postmodern detachment
The multiverse concept in pop culture reflects changing worldviews
Honest faith conversations are increasingly valued
Films like "Napoleon Dynamite" embody metamodern themes
"The Matrix" presents techno-gnosticism, modernizing ancient Gnostic ideas
Contemporary society faces a crisis of meaning that pure critique cannot solve
We need coherent narratives that provide purpose rather than endless deconstruction

How do you move forward when norms and expectations are changing faster than you can blink? With institutional trust at an all-time low, leaders on life support, and individualism compromising every inch of society, many of us are asking if it’s even possible (or sane) to build something that lasts.
Join Brad Edwards and John Houmes as they dig beneath the surface of rapidly-shifting culture and explore how leaders and the people they serve can thrive in a post-everything world.
