Rick Rubin and Cole Bennett | The Spirituality of Modern Artists

Rick Rubin and Cole Bennett, two cultural giants of our time. 

Rick Rubin has helped produce music for artists like: Run DMC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith, Johnny Cash, LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Adele, Kesha, Lady Gaga, and the Avett Brothers. His experience takes him beyond classic music production genres. Beyond this, he wrote a book that became an instant hit and lead him to go on Joe Rogan to promote it and dissect it, namely "The Creative Act." 

Similarly, Cole Bennett has helped artists like: Lil Pump, Mask the Slump God, Lil Xan, Juice World, J. Cole, Eminem, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Jack Harlow, and Dr. Dre. 

Why the lists? Well, this shows you the scope of their cultural influence. Both Rick, as a music producer, and Cole, as a music video producer, have helped infuse our world with a particular vision of reality and value structure. The question for us is: is the Logos present in what they have to say? We argue, yes. Not only that, we find it an obligation to find where Jesus Christ is in their conversation and bring Him out. 

Here are our insights about this conversation!
