Where to Find 9Marks Podcasts, Books, Journals, and Events
Updated
9Marks organizes its audio, books, journals, articles, and training events across separate sections of 9marks.org, and the homepage is the fastest starting point for all of them. The homepage surfaces the latest episode, the newest book, and upcoming events directly, so you can reach any of these resources in one or two clicks without knowing the site's internal structure. The sections below describe what each entry point contains and what to expect when you arrive.
Podcasts: Pastors Talk and Other Episodes
The homepage's "Latest Episode" block links to the current installment of Pastors Talk. As of the homepage snapshot, that is Episode 347, "On a Radical Conversion with Mez McConnell," a 39-minute episode dated October 27, 2026. The block includes a direct link to the episode, so you can start listening from the homepage without browsing a separate archive first.
For older episodes, follow the podcast section linked from the homepage. The site's "Collections" area also groups episodes by theme; the Missions collection, for example, lists 6 episodes alongside 13 articles and 6 books, which is useful if you want a topical listening list rather than a chronological one.
Books and Journals
The homepage's "Latest Book" block points to the newest release with a "View details" link. In the snapshot, that book is Persuasive Preaching. A separate "Discover New Book" feature promotes Reaching the Unreached with a pre-order link, so new and forthcoming titles appear in more than one place on the homepage.
Journals have their own entry: the "New Journal" block links to Church Matters Volume XI with a "Read Now" link. If you are looking for a specific title rather than the newest one, the Collections pages list books alongside articles and episodes, which makes them a practical browsing route for related titles on a single theme.
Events and Training
"Upcoming Events" on the homepage lists dated training events with a "View details" link for each. The snapshot shows three:
| Date | Event | Location | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| November 2, 2026 | Feed My Sheep Alabama | Madison, AL | 9Marks Partner |
| November 2, 2026 | Feed My Sheep KC | Kansas City, MO | 9Marks Partner |
| November 12, 2026 | Munich Weekender | Munich, Germany | — |
Each "View details" link leads to the event's own page, which is where scheduling and registration information would appear. The homepage itself only lists the date, name, location, and partner designation, so open the detail page before making travel or registration plans.
Articles, Reviews, and the Resource Toolkit
The "Latest Articles" column is the main feed for new writing. Recent entries in the snapshot include David Burnette on the doctrine of conversion and membership interviews (October 27, 2026), John Lee on unclear evangelism (October 19, 2026), and Mez McConnell on conversion in "messy people" (October 13, 2026). A separate review item, Paul Alexander's review of The Reason for Church (October 8, 2026), appears in the same feed, and "View More Articles" and "View More Reviews" links at the bottom of the column open the fuller archives.
Two additional entry points sit alongside the articles:
- The 9Marks Church Leadership Toolkit is featured as the homepage's "Featured Resource," with a "Learn more" link.
- 9Marks Online Courses has its own "Free Online Courses" link on the homepage. The homepage labels the courses as free; whether individual courses carry other conditions is not stated there, so check the course page itself.
A Practical Route Through the Site
If you know what you want, start from the matching homepage block: "Latest Episode" for the current podcast, "Latest Book" or "New Journal" for recent publications, and "Upcoming Events" for dated training. If you are browsing by topic instead, use Collections, which bundle episodes, articles, and books around a single subject such as Missions. For ongoing reading, the "Latest Articles" feed plus its "View More" links is the most direct path to the full archive.
