The Deconstructed Memelord Theologian (ft. Mason Mennenga)

from Rock That Doesn't Roll: The Story of Christian Music · host Andrew Gill and Leah Payne

Mason Mennenga is really good at social media. You've probably seen his posts about evangelical culture, Christian music or VeggieTales. But he does a lot more than just that. He hosts two podcasts: A People's Theology and The BlackSheep Podcast. He has a YouTube channel. He writes academic papers on music. And he works in the admissions office of a seminary. His social media bio was once "Skillet's Wario" and last year he interviewed the lead singer of Skillet. We were excited to talk with the internet's crass youth pastor earlier this year.   --Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?
