Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #259:
In this episode I am back from the recording studio in New York, I share some exciting things that my friends at Crowd Music are doign to shake things up in the music business, Andrew Peterson offers an apology for his beautiful music video, and I close the Podcast with a bit of a somber prayer for our violent nation.As I head into the recording studio on March 12th, I'm reflecting more on what making another album means at this point in my life. There's a passage in the book, "Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth: Spiritual Conversations Insipred byt the Life & Lyrics of Rich Mullins" that I find is speaking to me in a big way as I prepare to head to New York. As much as anything, this episode is a prayer request humbly submitted to the listeners of Voices In My Head. I hope you will join me.
On March 12th, as I enter the recording studio, album pre-orders will begin at this link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rick-lee-james-new-album-thunder/coming_soon#/ Join me for regular updates from the studio and in the post-production process.

An Islam Conversation with Samina and Sana Ahmed
This week on Voices In My Head I am joined by Samina and Sana Ahmed, a mother and daughter who are part of the Muslim community here in Springfield Ohio. It was so great to sit down with them and ask them questions about their faith. They are truly generous people who are always willing to answer any questions that people might have about their faith and on this podcast they do just that. Samina and Sana want you to be as informed as possible about Islam and have offered a free copy of the English version of the Quran to anyone who would like to know more. You can contact them by email at Sana.ahmed2010@gmail.com

I'm making a new album in March and we still need to raise around $6000 to cover the studio costs in New York. There are two very easy ways that you can help.
1.) By Text Message (Text ‘Thunder’ to 555888)Stay up do date with all things related to the album at www.RickLeeJames.com/THUNDER
Dove Award-nominated recording artist, songwriter and award-winning author Andrew Peterson returns to Voices In My Head (The Official Podcast of Rick Lee James). Andrew recently announced the long-awaited album Resurrection Letters, Vol. I, which will release March 30 and which was preceded by Feb. 9th launch of Resurrection Letters: Prologue. Both recordings will release globally from Centricity Music, and Prologue will became available on Friday, Feb. 9 from digital retailers everywhere and through
https://AndrewPeterson.lnk.to/Prologue.
Releasing in time for Easter, Resurrection Letters, Vol. I features songs like “Is He Worthy,” “I’ve seen Too Much” and “His Heart Beats,” the latter track being heard on Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God tour last year. The song is about that glorious moment in the tomb when Jesus, who was dead, came back to life.
“My dream for Resurrection Letters, Vol. I is that it would be the kind of record people turned up to eleven on Easter Sunday, when Christians all over the world celebrate something that happened—it really happened—two millennia ago,” says Peterson.
Also,
We are in the final hours of our crowdfunding campaign to make a new album through Indiegogo. It’s not too late to help us make “Thunder” a reality. Thunder will feature original music by Rick Lee James, re-imagined Hymns, and lost music from Rich Mullins.
