Book Cover - Popologetics
Pop-ologetics: Popular Culture in Christian Perspective
It's everywhere . . . all around us . . . so widespread it's like part of the air we breathe. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some just try to shrug it off or pretend it's not there. But, like it or not, notice it or not, popular culture plays a huge role in our day-to-day lives, often influencing the way we think and see the world.

Learn how to approach popular culture wisely, separating its gems of grace from its temptations toward idolatry, and practice some popologetics to be an influence of your own.
Ken Timmerman Show Page
Ken Timmerman
Investigative Reporter | War Correspondent | Speaker | Author - President and CEO of Foundation for Democracy in Iran
Kenneth R. Timmerman has published fourteen books of non-fiction and four novels. The first volume of his memoire, And the Rest is History: Tales of Hostages, Arms Dealers, Dirty Tricks, and Spies, chronicles his adventures as a war correspondent in the Middle East and years of investigating the deep state. It also tells the story of being born again to his Christian faith while held hostage by terrorists in Beirut. In January 2006 he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by former Swedish deputy premier, Per Ahlmark, for his work exposing Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons programs. Ken was the Republican nominee for Congress in Maryland's 8th Congressional District in 2012, an experience which provided source material for his August 2020 fiction, The Election Heist. His 2019 novel, Isis Begins, grew out of many mission trips to northern Iraq, where he reported on the plight of persecuted Christians. The second volume of his memoir, The Iran House, chronicles his undercover work for U.S. intelligence agencies and much more. He and his wife Christina have five children and six grandchildren, and live in Florida.
