Every Square Inch Podcast, hosted by Robert Cunningham, offers a Christ-centered critique of today’s most important issues. As theologian Abraham Kuyper once said, there is not “one square inch” in the world over which Christ does not cry, “Mine!”

Even if you believe that Jesus is true, beautiful, and good, you’re still lacking one key component of being a Christian: believing that Jesus is Lord. In this final episode of our series, Robert encourages us to examine the parts of our lives that we have not surrendered to Jesus, and to fully give them up to him as our Lord.
It’s difficult for some to reconcile God‘s goodness with his justice. In this episode, Robert shows us how scripture affirms these two attributes of God and supports the claim that Jesus is ultimately good.
In the second episode on the beauty of Jesus, Robert argues that Jesus is not merely one beautiful thing among many, but the source, standard, and fulfillment of all beauty. From the beauty of the temple to the beauty of Christ’s life, resurrection, and sacrificial love on the cross, Robert shows how Jesus answers our deepest longing to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.
In the first of two episodes on the beauty of Jesus, Robert explores the significance of beauty as a transcendental. We tend to view beauty as something enjoyable to experience, but not necessary to our existence. But Robert explains that beauty is necessary to life and even points to the life we were made to live, which is offered in Jesus, who is the fullness of beauty in the flesh.
In this episode, Robert argues that Jesus is ultimate truth manifested as observable truth. By his resurrection, Jesus meets the demands of both religious faith and enlightenment doubt. If Jesus is risen, then Jesus is true; and if Jesus is true, everything we want to be true is true.
In this episode, Robert explores humanity’s search for truth, beauty, and goodness, and argues that these transcendent longings find their fulfillment in Jesus, the Logos made flesh.
What if the real question isn’t whether you’ll consider Jesus—but how you’ll consider Him? In Part 2 of his “Reconsider Christianity” series, Robert argues that you can’t actually escape considering Christ. Even in a post-Christian moment, Jesus remains unavoidable. He challenges listeners to lay down the baggage of both Christian culture and post-Christian culture and to consider Jesus on His own terms—letting Christ define Christianity, not the other way around.
What happens to faith in Christ when Christianity becomes a dominant influence of a particular culture? In the first episode of this new series, called “Reconsider Christianity,” Robert walks through what happened when Jesus came back to his hometown, and invites all of us to give fresh eyes to faith in Jesus without the baggage of cultural Christianity.
For the final episode of 2025, Robert gives us an update on the medical debt campaign and invites us to participate in an exciting year-end giving challenge to eliminate the debt of Kentucky neighbors.

In the final episode of the series on manhood, Robert encourages men to redirect their self-improvement energy away from their own interests and towards the interests of others, and he closes the series with a few final words of reflection.
After laying out the first remedy to toxic manhood (being resourced by Christ’s blessing), Robert shares his second and third components of redeemed masculinity: it’s formed it by Christ’s power, and defined by Christ’s humility.
The “fragile male ego” is a common cultural trope, and there is truth to it. In this week’s episode, Robert shares the first of four remedies to toxic manhood: fighting insecurity with the blessing of our Heavenly Father.
It’s common to hear about the failures of the Christian project throughout history, but in this episode, Robert takes a look at the ways the Christian ethic of masculinity has brought about positive, meaningful change to our world.
A natural and good response to the atrocities of men laid out in the previous episode is to push back against those evils. But, in this episode, Robert explores how that pushback has gone too far and helped create an anti-masculine sentiment in our society.
If God designed masculinity to be beautiful, where did it go wrong? Well, as you’ll see in this episode, it’s gone wrong many times over the course of history. But as Robert walks through this history of fallen masculinity, you’ll also see glimmers of redemption and hope through Christ and his Church.
We’ve looked at the theoretical uniqueness of men in the Bible, but what about the theological design of masculinity? In this week’s episode, Robert unpacks several places in the Bible where God’s design for the role of men is laid out and why this design is so beautiful within the covenant of marriage.
What makes a man a man? In this week’s episode, Robert defines Biblical masculinity through a theoretical lens by contrasting the difference between “real men” and “good men” as defined by our culture.
In our last episode, Robert argued for a gender Venn diagram where the genders have attributes that are shared and attributes that are unique. This episode goes deeper into clarifying why his argument for uniqueness does not mean that their attributes are mutually exclusive.
The beautiful mystery of gender is not only how we are different but also how we are all alike. In this week’s episode, Robert focuses on the overlapping piece of the gender Venn diagram and how God has made both genders gloriously similar.
“Men, where have you gone?” This recent New York Times headline highlights the cultural moment that this podcast series seeks to speak into. As we begin this new series on masculinity, Robert shares some personal stories that shed light on how our culture views manhood and gives a quick peak into where this series will be going.
In this special episode of Every Square Inch, Robert interviews two friends from the United Kingdom to discuss some recently published data about a revival of Christianity among the youth of their country. They discuss how they’ve seen these trends in their personal ministry and how they minister specifically to these young Christians. And finally, they discuss the role masculinity plays in these trends, which serves as a prelude to Robert’s upcoming series on Biblical Masculinity.

Robert shares his story of learning about the medical debt crisis in Kentucky, why he’s starting a campaign to solve it, and how it’s possible that the impact of small donations can be multiplied into $150 million of debt forgiveness.
Doubt and uncertainty about your own faith is not uncommon in Christians, nor is it new. But in this episode, Robert unpacks the unique way that those in our modern culture struggle with assurance, and shares some ways to combat the lies we believe.
Sports betting is creating lots of new revenue in the state of Kentucky, but at what cost? In this week’s episode, Robert addresses the noble root lying underneath gambling addiction, and how to help redirect those affected by gambling addiction.
A common question Robert receives from Christians is about repenting from sin and how to do so in a genuine way. In this week’s episode, he looks to John Owen’s dense essay The Mortification of Sin and shares some practical ways to apply Owen’s essay and scripture to our lives.
