Truth Bombs with Andy Crouch

This one is a conversation you're probably going to want to listen to a few times. Andy Crouch joins STG to drop truth bombs about AI, the church, and the late Wendell Berry, just to name a few. You can see Andy as one of the featured speakers at this year's New Room Conference at Frazier Church, September 30-October 2.

Andy Crouch is the partner for theology and culture at Praxis, a venture-building ecosystem awakening redemptive imagination, and a teaching fellow for Practicing the Way. His writing explores faith, culture, and the image of God in the domains of technology, power, leadership, and the arts. He is the author of five books (plus another with his daughter, Amy Crouch): The Life We're Looking For: Reclaiming Relationship in a Technological World, The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place, Strong and Weak: Embracing a Life of Love, Risk and True Flourishing, Playing God: Redeeming the Gift of Power, and Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling.

Andy serves on the governing board of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. For more than ten years he was an editor and producer at Christianity Today, including serving as executive editor from 2012 to 2016. He served the John Templeton Foundation in 2017 as senior strategist for communication. His work and writing have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, and several editions of Best Christian Writing and Best Spiritual Writing—and, most importantly, received a shout-out in Lecrae's 2014 single "Non-Fiction."

From 1998 to 2003, Andy was the editor-in-chief of re:generation quarterly, a magazine for an emerging generation of culturally creative Christians. For ten years he was a campus minister with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Harvard University. He studied classics at Cornell University and received an M.Div. summa cum laude from Boston University School of Theology. A classically trained musician who draws on pop, folk, rock, jazz, and gospel, he has led musical worship for congregations of 5 to 20,000. He and his wife, Catherine, raised two children and live in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.

I Got Mexico with John Scott

STG is pumped to have brother John back on the podcast! Whoa! God is moving. OneChild is growing. If you're inspired to partner with OneChild, please reach out to John below. We'd love to see more GMC conferences partner with John and OneChild as our missions are aligned.

OneChild Mission: As a global community of Child Champions, we advocate for children in hard places and provide holistic care so they have hope and thrive.

OneChild Vision: We see a world where every child in poverty has a champion — someone who loves them and supports them as they overcome adversity. Someone who believes in them, listens to them and challenges them to persevere. Uplifted by Child Champions, we see children thriving, filled with hope, strong in faith and equipped to make the world better — from the renewal of local communities to the eradication of global poverty.
