Mark Dever Trying to Earn His Ghetto Card
He has degrees from Duke, Gordon-Conwell, Southern, and Cambridge. Hebrew and Greek are among the languages he speaks. His education has opened doors to many a prestigious university and church, and taken him to countries around the world.
But there’s one access pass Mark Dever has lacked since his growing up days in rural Kentucky, one elusive audience and language he has not commanded, one world to which he is a stranger. Da ‘hood. Da block. Da peeps.
Now, Mark and the Merita brothers at 9Marks are taking it to the street, the hip hop generation. They’re teaming up with Lamp Mode recording artists to produce a new holy hip hop cd called “The Church: Called and Collected.” That’s gonna be hot–the 9 marks set to hip hop. Coming June 8th.

“Let’s chop it up!” (Did Mark really say that?!)
