The Gospel Underground Podcast

Reid S. Monaghan, Jesse Furey 189 Episodes Sep 30, 2026

The Gospel Underground is a conversation at the intersection of church and culture. Hosts Reid S. Monaghan and Jesse Furey explore how rapid cultural change shapes people and how Christians can engage competing worldviews with humility and service. The show aims to foster dialogue between those far from God, those sought by God, and those seeking God. It mixes thoughtful discussion with an entertaining approach to ideas and communication.
