Hill City Podcast
by Grace Vang Thao
Hill City Podcast hosts deep enriching conversations about being faithful to God in the midst of our culture. Jesus tells us that a city on a hill cannot be hidden, and it is to be a light in the darkness. Therefore we should be a hill city in our communities that are distinct from our culture but what exactly does that look like? Join Grace as she invites you to biblically and critically think about the world through observing pop culture that range from movies, books, popular trends and philosophical discussions on theories of how the world works.
