Why is CrossCurrent Necessary?
In case you are not sure if a platform like CrossCurrent Digital is necessary, we recently put on a conference that deals with many of the issues we are tackling. We invite you to take a deep dive with us as we learn from faith and industry leaders.
Hold at All Hazards
What are the issues that we as believers need to take a stand on and "Hold at All Hazards"? What are the lines in the sand that we must refuse to cross?
John Stonstreet and Dr. Joe Rigney join us for the discussion of these critical issues.
The Importance of Books in Faith and Culture
Dr. Douglas Groothuis, Dr. Owen Strahan, and Katy Faust join this discussion on how critical it is for books to be available. They also touch on the differences in "book banning" - a popular topic right now in schools and libraries around the country - and keeping inappropriate material away from our children.
The Importance of a Parallel Economy
Chuck Barnham (Freedom Square), Heather Wilson (GiveSendGo), and Andrew Riddaugh (Liberation Tek) discuss what a parallel economy is, why it's important to Christians and conservatives, and how to bring it about.
Cancel Culture Comes to Audiobooks
Award winning narrators John Pruden and Pamela Almand join Claton Butcher in discussing the sometimes severe consequences of narrating audiobooks that push back on the "unquestionable" issues in our culture, or even when personal stances on those issues become known throughout the audiobook world.
Narrator Round Table
Take a peek behind the curtain - or into the recording booth - of award-winning narrators Adam Verner, Pamela Almand, and Jim Denison.
Authors and Reader Engagement
Award-winning Christian fiction authors Jen Turano, Laura Frantz, and Pepper Basham join us for a discussion on how they engage with readers like you.
The Origin Story
Claton Butcher, President of CrossCurrent Digital, discusses the origin of CrossCurrent with our friends at Freedom Square.
