We're in a real "eat the rich" moment. But is hating the rich biblical? Scripture certainly has a lot to say about greed. Yet, the invitation so often extended is to look inward and to examine one's own relationship toward money. Listen to the full conversation: linktr.ee/savedbythecity

Modern weddings come with an unspoken expectation: every detail should feel deeply personal. In this episode, we reflect on how weddings came to be so individualized and why that shift creates so much pressure (especially for brides). Listen now: linktr.ee/savedbythecity

Saved By The City @savedbythecity.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
Fifty years ago, most weddings took place in churches, couples married young, and receptions were often held in community spaces. Today, weddings are more individualized, WAY more expensive, and often shaped by different expectations around identity. What does this shift says about today's culture?

The manosphere is stepping into a role the church has traditionally filled. It's giving men order, meaning, and a script for how to live — it just comes with a side of blaming women for everything. Listen to the full conversation on the latest episode of #SavedByTheCity: linktr.ee/savedbythecity

The Noah's Ark story should come with a content warning. 😳 Beneath the animals and rainbow is a story most kids aren’t developmentally ready to process—and often, it gets turned into a lesson about obedience and fear. Would you teach a child the Noah's Ark story? Listen: linktr.ee/savedbythecity
