Packed with reviews, videos, sermons and observations, Pop Culture Christ looks at Pop Culture form a Christian point of view. And sometimes at Christianity from a Pop Culture point of view. Is the Jesus of movies, books, television, music, etc the Jesus of the Bible? How can we use the latest summer blockbuster to talk about the Bible? Pop Culture Christ looks at these issues as well as being an outlet for theology student Joel A Moroney to vent.

Eve 6 – Speak in Code

Back in the late 90s, one of my favourite past times was second hand CD shopping. Remember, this was a time before iTunes. Before YouTube. Even before JB HiFi and its large library of obscure and cheap CDs. For me, back then, the best way to discover music that was a bit out of left [...]

Video Games in Church

I love video games. I can’t remember a time where I haven’t owned a computer or a console. But should video games be a part of the church service?

Battleship (2012)

Battleship (2012) Rated M Staring Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Liam Neeson When your movie is based off a board game that pretty much involves guessing numbers, you don’t have a lot to work with. I wouldn’t be surprised if the brainstorming meeting for Battleship happened at 4am after three days with no

The Webby Awards are a pretty big deal and we’ve been nominated for the People’s Choice Award for Religion and Spirituality Websites.
