California Theology

Religion EN ↓ 9 episodes

California Theology is a podcast exploring faith through the lens of place—where theology meets the culture, history, and imagination of the Golden State. Rather than offering easy answers, California Theology invites thoughtful conversation about God, the church, and the world we inhabit—holding together ancient faith and contemporary realities. It’s a space for curious minds, reflective believers, and anyone interested in how theology is lived, challenged, and reimagined in California’s unique cultural landscape.
