CrossPoint is a weekly radio program sponsored by Union University. The hour-long program "features lively conversations about the relationship of faith and culture," according to host Dr. Michael Duduit, Union’s Executive Vice President. The program is broadcast each Tuesday at 4:30pm (central time) on WIGH (88.7 FM).

A special feature of the program will be the opportunity to call the program and visit with the guests.

"We look forward to allowing people to call in and participate in some great discussions on significant topics that affect all of our lives," Duduit says.

"We want this to be an interesting and engaging program that realistically deals with the way faith relates to a variety of issues in our society, from politics to business to popular entertainment," explains Duduit. Most of the guests will be drawn from Union’s faculty, but guests will also include a variety of civic and church leaders.

Duduit, who will host the program weekly, also serves as Associate Professor of Christian Studies at Union and is editor of Preaching magazine, a professional journal for ministers.
