Welcome to Unpop Culture, a newsletter by Cap Stewart. Below is a little about me.
Recognized by Zondervan Academic as one of the top Christian thinkers on sexualized entertainment, I am a contributor to the anthology Cultural Engagement: A Crash Course in Contemporary Issues, released in 2019. I have written for several print and online publications, including XXXchurch, The Christian Post, Crosswalk, and The Gospel Coalition.
After seven years of research and writing, I released the online course Personal Purity Isn’t Enough: The Long-Forgotten Secret to Making Scriptural Entertainment Choices. Inspired by a combination of Scripture, church fathers, modern-day testimonies from entertainment insiders, and the writing of author and pastor Wayne A. Wilson, this course is the first and only of its kind—eschewing legalistic pitfalls on the one hand and freedom-toting licentiousness on the other.
As a writer, speaker, and independent business owner, I have developed my love of stories through drama, radio, freelance writing and editing, videography, independent filmmaking, and collecting and reviewing film scores. I enjoy long walks on the beach with my beloved bride every decade or so. Other than that, I prefer remaining inland, inside, encapsulated in my office, breathing fresh filtered air while typing away at my keyboard. I have been writing publicly about theology, the arts, and pop culture since 2006.
