NEW PODCAST

Present Tense is a podcast from Christ Community Church that helps Christians think biblically about the social and cultural questions shaping our world. Hosted by co-lead pastors Clayton Keenon, Eric Ferris, and Ben Chambers, the show takes Scripture seriously, engages hard issues honestly, and refuses easy answers. God has something to say about our world, but it takes more than a soundbite to say it.

Each week covers a new topic with Scripture-focused homework, personal reflection, and practical application. Join us to lean into the peace Jesus offers.
