Over the past few months, Ken Myers and the work of MARS HILL AUDIO have been discussed or represented in several print, online, and broadcast media, and we wanted to let you know where you can find these articles and interviews.
Beginning in the July/August issue of Touchstone, Ken now has a regular column called “Contours of Culture.” The first installment was called “Waiting for Epimenides,” a discussion of lessons from Paul’s letter to Titus about cultural engagement. The second column will look at Jacques Barzun’s The Use and Abuse of Art.
The theme of the July/August issue of Modern Reformation is “A Feast in a Fast Food World,” and the magazine features the transcript of a talk given by Ken a while back about cultural patterns, specifically the act of eating. “The stuff of the order of creation and the nature of nature is [sic] good,” says Ken in this lecture/article entitled “More Than Meets the Mouth, Or, The Meaning of Meals.” “It is a good thing that we’re creatures that need to eat, as it constantly directs our attention to our finitude, to our creatureliness, and to our grateful reliance on our Creator.” This article can be found online at www.modernreformation.org.
You can also find online an interview with Ken in the Summer 2009 of By Faith, the magazine of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). For “The Well-Informed Generalist: Why We Should Listen to Ken Myers,” Ken was interviewed by Walter Henegar, the pastor of Atlanta Westside Presbyterian Church.
Cardus is a Christian think tank based in Ontario that focuses on how economic, political, religious, and other social spheres deeply influence each other. In the September issue of their periodical, Comment, they feature a very lengthy interview with Ken entitled, “A Student’s Guide to the ‘Whole Big Ecosystem’ of Culture.”
Log onto the website of 9 Marks Ministries and you will find a podcast featuring an interview between Ken and Pastor Mark Dever posted on May 1st. In the interview, Ken talks specifically about why cultural issues should be a concern of pastors as they seek to faithfully lead their churches.
And, if you live in Birmingham, Poughkeepsie, Panama City, or several other cities, you will soon be able to hear Kenon the radio, interviewed by Harry Reeder, pastor of Briarwood Presbyterian Church. Rev. Reeder’s daily program (Conversations with Harry Reeder) airs for 10 minutes each weekday, and Ken will be the featured guest from August 24th through the 28th. You may also listen online at the program’s website.
We hope that the attention paid to our work by other writers and teachers will encourage more listeners to sample our unique audio products. You may want to alert your friends to these articles and interviews as a way of introducing them to MARS HILL AUDIO.
