Austin French’s song “Jesus Can” is fantastic. But I couldn’t resist thinking about what the song would sound like if it were written from a millennial’s point of view and called “Jesus Can, When I Can’t Even.” Austin was thrilled to learn that his song “Good Feeling” was featured in Pixar’s trailer for their upcoming film “Elio!” I was happy for him but we also had to discuss the elephant in the room when it… … Continue reading
Everybody is talking about how great artificial intelligence is, but can it write a hit song? Our prompt for A.I. was: to write a song about pizza and grace in the style of Matthew West. Matthew’s challenge was to turn the computer-generated words into a hit song and I have to say, he killed it! Matthew is one of the greatest Christian songwriters in the industry, but he can also write a funny song too.… … Continue reading
Tara-Leigh Cobble has a great plan for reading through the Bible in one year called The Bible Recap. We talked about not only the importance of reading through the Bible but, more importantly, how to get started. Plus, as a bonus, we also found out that Tara-Leigh has a Bible crush on a guy in the Bible we had never heard of. Tara-Leigh has read through the Bible fifteen times. She is a student of… … Continue reading
Just in time for the fourth of July, Danny Gokey released a stellar rendition of the Lee Greewood classic, “God Bless the USA.” I know Danny is very proud to be an American, but we wanted to see what it would sound like if Danny was just as proud to be ‘Merican. If the single patriotic tear that rolled down my cheek is any indication, Danny absolutely crushed it! … Continue reading
Photo Op is where Wally makes us send him the last photo we took on our phones and tell him the story behind it. Which photo do you like the best? In the immortal words of internet sensation Sweet Brown, “Oh Lord Jesus it’s a fire!” That is what I experienced as the grill enclosure I built actually caught on fire! I was able to put it out before it burned down my house or… … Continue reading
Micah Tyler has a new song out called “Praise the Lord.” The music video shows that even when things go wrong, we can still have joy. One of the examples in the video was going to the dentist so we got some dental devices and played a game called Micah’s Big Mouth Music! Here is Micah’s new video that was the inspiration for our game! Micah Tyler’s new video “Praise the Lord,” emphasizes that it… … Continue reading
It has been a few years since I have traveled with Compassion International to see the work they do. I have to tell you it is such a great reset for me personally. It is a reminder that maybe the things I get super worked up about really aren’t that big of a deal after all. Life for the Masi in Kenya is hard. They have been in a drought for 2 straight years but,… … Continue reading
For many years I have said that as Americans we will accept just about anything we are told if it is said in an Australian accent. So, I finally got to test my theory when Christine Caine stopped by. Which is more believable…Christine’s amazing Australian accent or Betty’s sweet Southern accent? She also has a great new book out called Don’t Look Back: Getting Unstuck and Moving Forward with Passion and Purpose. This was our… … Continue reading
Adam Agee is a new member of the Newsboys. Lead singer Michael Tait swears they are super tight so, we decided to test that with a game called You Don’t Know Adam From Adam! … Continue reading
We got a chance to sit down with Christine Caine. She is a speaker, author, evangelist, podcaster, raccoon wrangler, (I made that last one up), and best selling author. Her latest book is called Don’t Look Back: Getting Unstuck and Moving Forward With Passion And Purpose. I think if we are being honest most of us get stuck in our faith from time to time. I love Christine’s perspective on not only getting unstuck, but… … Continue reading
