As part-devotional & part-90’s retrospective, Mixtape Theology is an exercise in going deeper into the Bible verses behind our favorite 90s CCM songs resulting in a fuller understanding of God and His redemptive plan. We also poke fun and reminisce about what made the 90s Christian culture so awesome. Hosted by Dr. Ashley Mofield & Rachel Cash. We're part of the New Release Today (NRT) Podcast Network. Check out our book Mixtape Theology: 90s Christian Edition, available now for pre-order.
