"Secondary Sources" E4: Interview with Leah Payne

In the fourth episode of Secondary Sources, co-hosts Prisca Bird and David McFarland interview Dr. Leah Payne and discuss her book "God Gave Rock and Roll To You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music" (Oxford, 2024). This episode is a fantastic follow-up to the May 2024 CFH Book Talk episode also featuring Dr. Payne.  Our conversation went in a new direction by looking at the implications and applications of this scholarship to teaching high school students, particularly Christian students, who have inevitably been shaped by the subculture's music (even if it was the music their parents listened to!)

Secondary Sources is a podcast that seeks to connect scholars and secondary teachers who are both committed to the effective discipleship of students through compelling historical research and dynamic pedagogy. It is produced by secondary educators connected to The Conference on Faith & History.
