More Than Music — Music
More Than Music

The “More Than Music” Podcast is a passion project hosted by Emily Hamilton, Johnny Hamilton and Jeff Luckey from the band For All Seasons. It’s a collection of conversations between the band members, guests that are smarter than they are, and….YOU! They pull back the curtain on the specific songs and discuss the heart behind them: uncovering everything in the process from initial ideas to the finished product. Their goal is to lead from their wounds, and not their wins — hoping you identify with their vulnerability, while leaving inspired to pursue the unique passion God has placed in you with care, purity, and purpose. So, whether you’re on the brink of a pursuit, or right in the thick of it, the band’s desire is to champion and inspire art that comes from a heart of service. Honesty and passion enable beauty and feeling to be communicated through song. It’s a feeling so tangible that those sound waves can impact a heart forever. Join them in these conversations as they explore the art and beauty of music.

&: "Near" feat. Brian Holland Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

For this "&" episode, we invited our friend, mentor, and band pastor Brian Holland to talk about what our response should be in seasons of feeling near to God. Brian has been in full-time ministry for over 20 years, and throughout that time has been on a journey with God discovering that he is not only LOVED by God, but also LIKED. This transformative thought process has completely changed the way he looks at life with God. We also spend time exploring what it looks like to bring God into more than just our "quiet time", and recognize that He is ALWAYS with us. God is calling us to abide in Him, and that means so much more than marking something off a daily checklist.

Thank you Brian for joining in and bringing so much life to this conversation!

Behind the Song: Life In Your Love Jul 17, 2019

&: Far feat. Ryan Ellis Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

For this "&" episode, we invited out friend and fellow artist, Ryan Ellis, to talk about what our response should be in a season of feeling far from God. Ryan has lived a lot of life, so he brings an incredible amount of wisdom and experience to this topic. Seasons of feeling far from God are hard to admit at times, and instead of asking "God, where are You?", but we hope this episode challenges you to ask some much more necessary and life-giving questions.

Ryan has recently released a 2-part project, entitled "Lyfe" and "Rysponse" and we feel like the heart behind his project was incredibly similar to the heart behind ours. LIFE happens and is difficult. Once we come to terms with it, our greatest response is to remember who God is and worship Him. Make sure you check out his project on your preferred streaming service.

Behind The Song: Speak To Me Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Today on the podcast, we discuss the creation of our May release, Speak To Me". We start the episode sharing the season of life that inspired this song, and talk through the importance of admitting when we may feel far from God.

This song was first started back in 2013, so it has walked a very long road to get to where is stands today. Tune in to hear why it took so long to release, the changes it needed to go through along the way, and what influences we had throughout the process. We also share pieces of a few demos, as well as talk about the recording process.

&: Friendship feat. Matt Balm May 20, 2019

Show notes

Our next "&" episode is here, and this one is all about friendship and community. We invited out dearest friend and manager, Matt Balm, on to the show to contribute to the conversation. Matt has been in the Christian industry for the past 20+ years, and has a reputation for treating people so well. In a world of "keeping up" and "making it" we talk about the importance of prioritizing relationship over any career or success. We have been created for relationship, so keep friendships a priority in life is crucial, which is a lesson we have all had to learn.

&: "Loneliness" feat. Savannah Locke Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the podcast, we invited fellow music artist and friend, Savannah Locke, on to the show to have a conversation about seasons of loneliness. Savannah shares her own story, we talk about our basic need for community, the difficulties that social media have introduced, and what it looks like to fight loneliness.

This is our third "&" episode. The reason we're calling them "&" episodes is because throughout the year we're looking at seasons of life that are seemingly completely opposite, but are somehow uniquely brought together by the fact that God is the same through all of them. We encourage you to find out more about Savannah's music and writing by visiting her instagram: Instagram.com/savannah_locke

&: "Waiting" feat. Rachel Closs Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the podcast, we invited our dear friend (and inspiration for the song 'Light & Momentary') on to the show to have a conversation about seasons of waiting. Rachel shares her own story, we talk about OWNING hard truths, the difficulties we face, the hope that we have, and the importance of trusting in the character of God. This is our second "&" episode. The reason we're calling them "&" episodes is because throughout the year we're looking at seasons of life that are seemingly completely opposite, but are somehow uniquely brought together by the fact that God is the same through all of them.

Behind the Song: Light & Momentary Mar 04, 2019

Show notes

Listen as we unpack the creation of our song, Light & Momentary. Unlike our last song, this one went on a LONG journey before being ready to record and release. In the episode, we'll play snippets of two different demos that were created, explain the heart behind the song, as well as touch on the difficulty of bringing a "live" song into the studio. We hope it encourages you to remember that when creating, the waiting is worth it and some things really do take time.
