Thinking Matters Podcast
Hosted by Todd Funk
Do you ever find yourself wrestling with tough questions about faith, meaning, and culture — wondering not just what you believe, but why? The Thinking Matters Podcast with Todd Funk invites New Zealand Christians (and those curious about Christian faith) into conversations that go deep, are honest, and equip you to live out a thoughtful, grounded faith in a rapidly changing world.
Each episode, Todd will engage experts, thinkers, believers, and sceptics — people who ask hard questions and give thoughtful answers. Whether the topic is science & faith, ethics & morality, doubts & assurance, technology & culture, or how to share your faith with gentleness and respect, we’ll tackle it.
You’ll come away with more clarity, encouragement, and practical tools to Defend Faith · Navigate Culture · Reach People, which are the core pillars of Thinking Matters.
If you want to be able to engage culture wisely, have humble conversations, face hard challenges, and be confident in what you believe — this is your podcast. Join us as we explore not just what Christians believe, but why it matters — for you, for those you walk with, and for the world.
