Ben's January

Ben has been a busy one, too!
The semester began with the Spiritual Life Conference, with speaker and author Andy Crouch. From his website's bio:
"Andy is the author of Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling, winner of Christianity Today’s 2009 Book Award for Christianity and Culture and named one of the best books of 2008 by Publishers Weekly, Relevant, Outreach and Leadership." He is also a senior editor at Christianity Today and a really, really nice guy.
You can listen to a few of Andy's Bryan presentations here.
I think it was really fun for Ben to have Andy on campus as Andy's writing relates to some of Ben's special loves: art, creativity and the kingdom of God.

Ben has also been busy recording a few interviews with Bryan chapel guests. The show is a production of the college which airs on the Christian radio station here in Chattanooga. Some segments have not aired yet, so those aren't posted, but here are two that are available:

"Being the Protagonist in Your Story"
Interview with Gary Stratton October 24, 2009


MLK Day Project Interview with Danielle Rebman January 16, 2010


It is a source of happiness for Ben to bring challenging speakers to campus, and we hope that their good work (and Ben's, too) yields good fruit in the lives of the students.
Hope you have fun listening to these!
