Featured Resources
The latest installment of our Heartland Conversations happened around a camp fire in David and Alissa Herbon's back yard. The discussion centered around how we are to think about the place technology plays in contemporary life. The writings of Wendell Berry served to guide part of the conversation, and of particular interest was the subject of contraception and other life-regulating technologies
Luckily the conversation started faster than the fire (the wood was wet), and with Rich and Lynnell Knight of Arni's of Lebanon providing the snacks, we really enjoyed the evening. Thanks to all who participated.
Check back regularly to find out about the next Conversation, of if you have a subject/author/idea you would like to see us do, don't hesitate to let us know.

Heartland Conversations
These Conversations are informal small group discussions designed to be very simple and straightforward events, that give the widest variety of people possible a platform from which to share their stories, their ideas, and their passions with us. It is our belief that in essence, spending time together in conversation is a profoundly spiritual experience. When we give something to someone else, in many cases, we are then minus whatever we have given. But conversation is one of those most precious of activities, in which gifts are exchanged, that instead of taking away from our store, creatively add to our lives. The Heartland Conversations are invitation only events, and if you would like to attend, please contact us to be added to the mailing list.

Phenomenon
Faith...vocation...culture. The biblical vision of life and the world, pondered and practiced for many centuries in myriad cultures... forming what we do and why we do what we do... forming our responsibility for history, for the way culture is and isn't.
The end? That we might develop eyes to see the world the way God does. Or in the words of Bono, poet of Dublin and conscience to the world, "to feel the world" as God does.

MARS HILL AUDIO exists to assist Christians who desire to move from thoughtless consumption of modern culture to a vantage point of thoughtful engagement. We believe that fulfilling the commands to love God and neighbor requires that we pay careful attention to the neighborhood: that is, every sphere of human life where God is either glorified or despised, where neighbors are either edified or undermined.
