The Cross and the Jukebox

"I think lyrical music can often get to the bone of what's really going on in hearts, minds, and culture than abstract discourse can. Our neighbors are often more honest about what they really think and feel when they're singing than when they're talking. And so are we."

With these words, Russell Moore introduces The Cross and the Jukebox, a weekly podcast on roots, music and religion.  The podcast launched today, and in it Dr. Moore will examine how we can see the gospel, or the "almost-gospel" in the lyrics of our music.

I have on more than one occasion  mentioned Dr. Moore, passing along the breathtakingly sage perspective that he so often applies to the ethical quandaries he often examines in his excellent blog, Moore to the Point.  I have already subscribed to this podcast and look forward to gleaning his wisdom on a weekly basis. I recommend that you click here and do the same.
