Creation, Fall, Redemption, CCM - Terry Mattingly

Captured during a vibrant weekend on campus, this collection offers a direct auditory pass to the Festival of Faith & Music held in 2009. The FFM 2009 podcast, presented by the Calvin College Student Activities Office, archives the rich conversations and performances that defined that year's gathering. You'll hear keynote speakers grapple with the complex intersections of artistic expression, belief, and cultural engagement, their talks preserved with the immediacy of the original event. Alongside these major addresses, the series includes intimate workshop sessions where musicians, critics, and thinkers delved into the craft and philosophy behind creating meaningful work. This isn't a retrospective commentary, but the original audio itself-a chance to experience the unfiltered discussions about how faith animates and challenges the worlds of music and performing arts. For anyone curious about the dialogue between spirituality and creativity, this podcast serves as a valuable historical record and a source of enduring inspiration, straight from the source. The episodes invite deep listening, offering perspectives that feel as relevant now as they were when first shared with an audience of students, artists, and seekers.
