FiveTwenty iXc: Episode 044; December 30, 2024 -- How much depth of theology should Christian content creators put into their work?

Big Swiss posed the question of "Should content made to draw in the world look and feel different than content for believers?" Are those already in the faith being overlooked by creators and is it for the sake of ease more than anything else? The squad discusses the challenge facing those in the Christian creative space to challenge their brothers and sisters to grow heading into 2025.

With many believers leaving the faith in recent years, we explore this connection as well as talk about how we can be proactive so that we don't fall away from the faith.
