Ken Myers has transformed my thinking over the last several years in at least two ways. He has directly influenced my patterns of reflection and behavior through lectures I heard (beginning with a Classical Education conference in 2008), and he has indirectly altered many areas of my life and my family’s life through the bibliography trail he always seems to leave behind him. I’m still reading books I learned about through his work and I am still wrestling with questions about Christianity, culture, media, the arts, and the kingdom of God because of him.
I’m posting this because I stumbled upon an interview with Ken that hit a number of high points that resonated with me. I am in total agreement with his stance on the transformative, mind-renewing need of our modern church. In the clip below Ken talks briefly about attentiveness, deliberation, technology, silence, and the importance of eating meals together (among other things). If some of what you hear resonates with you, you might want to check out Ken’s periodical over at Mars Hill Audio.
Lectures he delivered at the ACCS Conference in Austin (Summer 2008) can be heard for free over at WordMP3.com. There are four – three are near the top of the list on that page, and the lecture on music, “With Choirs of Angels”, is further down.
