Culture At A Crossroads

Ever wish you could have a conversation with the very people driving change in culture? Join radio personality David Mann for engaging dialogue with top influential people in business, politics, sports, and the arts. Each week we'll learn how these Canadians got their platforms, and understand why others have become loyal to them or their brand. In doing so, we'll break down what advancing these ideas means for Christians in Canada. You can trustfully hear from those at the forefront of our ever-changing culture. This podcast is designed to be a space where the conversation begins.
