"Defining A Well-Ordered Cultural Life"


Discovering new books and insights into faith, culture, and our changing world are just a few of the tasks I really enjoy about my job.  Leading the way in this pursuit is a wonderful resource called Mars Hill Audio Journal (marshillaudio.org).  A former NPR staffer named Ken Myers started MHAJ more than 20 years ago, and it's a series of interviews between Myers and authors about a huge variety of subjects.  These interviews are always insightful and presented from a Christian perspective, although not all of the guests on the journal come from a faith background.  If you're looking for informed cultural engagement as a person of faith, start with Mars Hill Audio.  Below is a letter written by Ken Myers and sent to subscribers and supporters of MHAJ, and I think it's a great perspective on engaging our world and listening well to the Spirit as we do.

Take a look around MHAJ's website and download some of their free material if you're interested.  You won't be disappointed by the depth and insight you glean from it.

Happy new year,

Travis
