Mockingbird Events

Ken Sundet Jones is the Gerhard O. Forde Professor Emeritus at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, and serves as Director of the Iowa Preachers Project, a partnership program with Mockingbird. He is a Luther and Reformation scholar, an official recipe tester for America’s Test Kitchen, and lover of cheesy 70s one-hit wonders. He is the author of A Lutheran Toolkit and a regular contributor to both Mockingbird and 1517. For countless sins he confesses “Mea culpa” and yearns for absolution every time he sits in a pew. He is a grace-hardened theologian of the cross who proves it by wearing red Hey Dudes.
