The Esau McCaulley Podcast unpacks the cultural stories that shape our lives. Pop culture always reveals something about what it means to be human: both our glory and our brokenness.

  • Not one to miss

    I love this podcast! Esau continually points us back to Jesus and his Gospel! They speak honestly and concisely and about current topics of the day. I love the discussions with his guests and Mike, his co-host. Even when things are so heavy these days they also make me laugh!! I rarely miss listening the day they come out but if I do I’m looking to listen the next day!

  • Yes and amen

    When it comes to finding my way as a disciple of Jesus situated in this particular moment, in this time and place, this is the podcast I turn to. I am grateful for the prophetic public theologians Esau McCaulley gathers to join him for these faithful conversations.

He and his curated guests bring a hugely important black perspective on faith and culture that is sadly missing in most, if not all, white spaces. And Producer Mike is the perfect foil. Their friendship and mutual respect is clear. Together, they model all the amazing things a cross-cultural friendship has... more

  • One of My Favorite Podcasts

    I was introduced to Esau through a Bible Project Podcast episode where they mentioned his book, ‘Reading While Black’. I bought it right away. Since then, I’ve read the book multiple times and it has been life giving to me.

    When I discovered that Esau was the host of a podcast called The Disrupters, I was so excited to hear more from someone who became on of my favorite authors! He passed the baton after two seasons on that podcast and I was hoping that he would come back to podcasting at some... more
