707: Halftime Hullabaloo and Tyler Johnson
The Holy Post
Where People Land After Seeing Ads
They explore how ads can prompt seekers and the challenge of finding churches that embody the campaign's vision.
The big game was on Sunday, and for most of the country, it was a big letdown unless you're heavily invested in the culture war. Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye start by breaking down Bad Bunny's halftime show (en español) and Turning Point USA's alternative with Kid Rock. Then they discuss how Jesus became such a big part of football culture. Is it good that so many players start their media interviews with a shout-out to their Lord and Savior, or has it become a distracting cliche? Skye talks to Tyler Johnson, the Chief Impact Officer for Come Near, about how their Super Bowl ad this year still hopes to point people to Jesus but with less controversy. Also, this week, Bonnie Kristian says everyone is too obsessed with gender.
