Episode 1154: Elevation Rhythm Apr 05, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by innovative worship collective Elevation Rhythm! Plus, while Derek is in LA pitching some new music projects, Marty for some reason lets it leak that he thinks everyone over 40 only listens to the Gaithers (which doesn't go over well), and then Jesse starts advocating for some major changes to the concert-going experience (which does go over well). Plus, Emily brings the week's RELEVANT Buzz, covering the new Mike Todd movie, the Nickelodeon scandal, and some crazy niche Bibles that, yes, are very, very real. And at the end of the show, we have your online outrage feedback!

Episode 1153: Sarah Juers Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by rising indie artist Sarah Juers, who we're big fans of. Plus, it's Jesse's birthday so for Slices we tilt the segment towards topics he's very interested in — his theories on the paranormal phenomena that's been documented in recent years, and of course, how to make the library cool again. At the end of the show, don't miss a special Jesse Edition of Would You Rather!

Episode 1152: Kim Walker-Smith Mar 29, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by worship leader Kim Walker-Smith, who's back with new music for the first time in a few years (and a LOT has changed for her in the meantime). Plus, we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz — ranging from why the Internet is mad at Elevation Church, to the new Tammy Faye musical coming to Broadway, to a guy that's trying to be an unconventional Presidential option this year. And at the end we have your feedback — don't miss Marty's bad celebrity encounter story!

Episode 1151: nobigdyl. Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by indie hip-hop artist nobigdyl., who talks to us about this year's upcoming Holy Smokes Fest (which is quickly turning into the premier spot for underground Christian music). Plus, after regaling us with the plot of both Roundhouse movies in excruciating detail, the cast brings the week's slices — ranging from Gen Z surprisingly bringing the Poke back, to the music that makes you a better and worse driver, and the surprising addition to the upcoming 'Office' spinoff. And at the end, we have a spring edition of Would You Rather!

Episode 1150: Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by two of the biggest worship leaders out there: Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham, as they gear up for their co-headlining summer worship nights tour. Plus, we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz, which includes a thoughtful conversation about Ye's statements about where his faith now stands, to the New York Times trying to talk about a "new trend" in Christianity (but not understanding the difference between a Christian and a conservative politician), to the new Sufjan Stevens musical heading to Broadway. And at the end of the show, we have your feedback about your worst trip experiences!

Episode 1149: Tim Tebow Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by football great Tim Tebow to talk about finding our purpose and pursuing it wholeheartedly. Plus, Jesse unknowingly shows up on the big screens at Emily's church, the cast brings the week's Slices ranging from the government shutting down the UFO talk to Chick-Fil-A's misguided new menu item. And at the end of the show we work through our March Madness bracket -- just pitting the mascots against each other.

Episode 1148: Eugene Cho Mar 15, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by Eugene Cho, who talks to us about how our generation can take a different approach to political discourse this year. Plus, Derek's back and joins Cameron, Jesse and Marty as they get talking about this week's SXSW, and their craziest memories from the event. Then Emily brings the week's RELEVANT Buzz, covering the TikTok ban, a new study that reveals how people are actually meeting their partners today, and the surprising number of people who are planning to take off work to watch March Madness. At the end we have your your answers to the question of the week!

Episode 1147: Chad Veach Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by pastor and author Chad Veach to talk about how implementing practical spiritual disciplines into our lives can really help us cut out the distractions and be more open to what God has for us. Plus, well, if we were to list the topics that the guys get into, you wouldn't believe us. Stuff like Steven Seagal's big con, horse sports, the new Tiger Woods of darts, people in Ft. Lauderdale swimming in jeans -- it's like a Mad Lib of divergent topics. You've been warned. And at the end of the show, we have the Ultimate Spring Break Trivia Showdown!

Episode 1146: Passion Mar 08, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by Passion's Kristian Stanfill to debut their new album recorded at the massive Passion Conference a couple of months ago. Also, the cast somehow gets into whale autopsies, Virginia Beach crime shenanigans, and then we have RELEVANT Buzz covering the unprecedented Liberty University situation, celebs using their platforms for good, and the creepy Willy Wonky movie that's coming. Plus, your feedback at the end (and a lot more callbacks to the VB whale team situation).

Episode 1145: Wilderado Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

Today we're joined by Max Ranier from indie folk band Wilderado. We talk about his faith journey — and of course how it influenced their upcoming sophomore album. But as good as that convo is, if there's one moment that's going to be talked about from this episode, it's this: Church prom. Yes, the cast brings the week's Slices — like the Wendy's backlash, government spying and the Florida Man games — and at the end we have Hot Takes, but all you're going to talk about is Emily's formative memories becoming the queen of church prom. Seriously, this whole episode is about church prom.
