Published: Sept. 29, 2016, 8:14 p.m.

b'Katelyn Beaty is moving on. Christianity Today\\u2019s first female and youngest print managing editor, the leader of This Is Our City and founder of Her.meneutics, and one of CT\\u2019s first podcast hosts, Beaty cemented her legacy in her nine years at the organization. Katelyn spoke with Morgan and The Calling\\u2019s Richard Clark this week on Quick to Listen as they discussed the last decade. On the success of Her.meneutics: I don\\u2019t attribute that to my stealth leadership. It was really about starting a conversation, gathering more women writers, and giving them a chance to write for the print magazine\\u2026A lot of those writers ended up having a larger platform to the broader church and not just staying in their lady cocoon. On her first CT editorial calling Christians to stop bashing Hillary Clinton: \\u201cJim Wallis liked it. I guess that\\u2019s no surprise.\\u201d On reading CT in college: \\u201cI remember printing [the editorials] off as if \\u2018this is the premiere Christian opinion on this topic. This is a model on cultural engagement.\\u2019\\u201d On the importance of genre: Working on this upcoming Ann Voskamp profile, for awhile I thought, \\u2018Should this just be a straight interview?\\u2019 She\\u2019s super interesting to listen to. Very articulate. Speaks in complete sentences which is not true of all our interview subjects. But I ultimately decided to go with the profile genre because it allowed me to draw in what others have said about her. On the internet: \\u201cI think the temptation is to look at what\\u2019s happening online and try to replicate it in a print magazine.\\u201d\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
