In this emotional episode of Enjoy the Journey, I talk with Covid Survivor, Errol Schroeder, and his wife, Darlene.Errol was in the hospital for 3 months--most of that time in a coma--and in a rehab facility for another month. He was clinically dead for about 6 minutes--and would be dead now, if not for the unyielding devotion of his wife and the miraculous power of God. Doctors, doing what they thought was best, marked Errol as "DNR--Do not resuscitate" without Darlene's permission--leading her to legally fight for his life.His testimony is powerful, inspirational, and shows the power of prayer, a devoted wife, and an all-powerful God.Here's a video of Errol, leading Journey's Children's Ministry, just days before he was placed on a ventilator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pytttq0yrpAHere's the song that Darlene sang, prayed, and worshipped with during Errol's long stay in the hospital: Way Maker by Leelandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJCV_2H9xD0If you'd prefer to listen to watch this podcast, you can go here: https://youtu.be/Vtg9k8xdZocIf you like this Podcast, please like it, subscribe, and share it with as many people as you can.

In this episode of Enjoy the Journey, I'm sharing a conversation I had with Dr. Ruth Reyes about worship, ministry, faith, family, and what it's like to be a child prodigy and study at The Julliard School in New York City.Here is a video of Dr. Reyes playing the piece we discussed in this conversation: Chopin Ballade in G Minor, Op. 23: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9EH476A4cMWow!Dr. Reyes is the Assistant Dean of the School of Communication and Creative Arts, and a Professor of Music at Johnson University.Here's some other information about Dr. Reyes...Pre-college studies at the Juilliard SchoolB.Mus. in Piano (Queens College)M.A. in Piano Performance (Aaron Copland School of Music)Ed.D. in Higher Education (Nova Southeastern University)Rehearsal accompanist for Disney’s Epcot Center Candlelight Processional servicesLeader of worship clinics and classes in local churchesShe answers some questions...My favorite part about teaching at Johnson is: The ability to impart to students skills I’ve gained over my long career in a very practical and relevant way.When I’m not teaching, I love to: Travel, sample my husband’s culinary dishes, practice the piano.In my classes, students can expect: Me to demonstrate musical and worship concepts in a practical way: on the piano or by singing or by helping students craft a good worship song.My best advice to a new student in my program is: Hard work, patience, and dedication to practice and honing your skills will pay off in the long run and will add to your versatility in the marketplace or ministry.Because of my influence, I most want my students to become: Confident with their God-given abilities – to use your giftedness, to respond to a calling in kingdom work, and to earn a living while doing what you love most is a very cool thing to achieve in life.The myth-busting truth about my discipline I most want people to understand is: There are no easy shortcuts to being a complete worship leader and a musician: the deeper you are in the word, the more committed you are to spiritual disciplines, and the more dedicated you are to being the best musician in any setting, the greater your capacity will be for high impact in whatever you do.A quote that influences how I live is: “The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.” – Johann Sebastian Bach--Source: https://johnsonu.edu/staff/ruth-reyes/If you like this Video Podcast, please like it, subscribe, and share it with as many people as you can.

On the special edition of my podcast, I share a message where I discuss the important issues of race, racism, the love of God, love for people, injustice, and white privilege. This is audio of a message I delivered on June 7, 2020 at Journey Christian Church (www.journeychristian.org).This is an important and timely message.I believe the murder of George Floyd, and the protests that followed, are tipping points for our country and for the Church. The death of George Floyd opened wounds in our country, but it also has opened hearts, minds, and eyes to blindspots we have regarding issues of race, prejudice, injustice, and...for Christians...the Church's responsibility to live out the Gospel in a way that honors God and reflects Christ-like love for all people.

If you want tons of practical wisdom on marriage, parenting, and what it looks like to love Jesus as you journey through life with your spouse and children--this is the episode for you! In this episode of Enjoy the Journey, I'm excited to share a conversation I had with Andrew and Jamie Peterson. Oh, before I forget..."We like you, too, Andrew and Jamie!" :)Jamie is a deep well of wisdom, grace, and all things Jesus! Jamie toured with Andrew for the first five years of his music career, before eventually stepping back from that so she could step into raising--and homeschooling--their three children. They've been married for 25 years.Andrew is an accomplished musician, who has released 19 (I think) albums, including, Resurrection Letters, Volume, which contained "Is he Worthy" written by himself and Ben Shive which was covered on Chris Tomlin's Holy Roar album.As an author, Andrew has published 7 (I'm pretty sure) books, including a four-book series of fantasy/adventure novels for young adults entitled The Wingfeather Saga. Andrew’s latest book, the creative memoir Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling and the Mystery of Making, was released through B&H Publishing in October 2019. I'm currently reading this book and--if you are an artist, or someone who values all things art and beauty--this book is a must-read!

In this episode of Enjoy the Journey, I'm excited to share a conversation I had with the well-known musician, Ron Block. You can watch this interview on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJnCGxahQvc&t=126sRon Block is an American banjo player, guitarist, and singer-songwriter, best known as a member of the bluegrass band Alison Krauss & Union Station. He has won 14 Grammy Awards, 6 International Bluegrass Music Awards, a Country Music Association Award, and a Gospel Music Association Dove Award (Source: Wikipedia).In October 1991, Ron Block joined Alison Krauss and Union Station, with members Barry Bales, Tim Stafford, and Adam Steffey. The following year, the group recorded the album Every Time You Say Goodbye. Now considered a modern bluegrass classic, the album earned a 1993 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album, the first of an astounding 14 Grammys Block would take home thus far. Other early highlights of Block's tenure with AKUS include touring with megastar Garth Brooks, and, of course, the O Brother, Where Art Thou phenomenon, which would put the banjo player on the big screen and also on concert stages with the Down from the Mountain Tour, featuring performers from the O Brother soundtrack. In 2009, the group performed for the President of the United States at the White House. With more than 20 years of touring as part of Union Station, Block most recently went "on the road again" with the legendary Willie Nelson for a 2014-15 tour that continued to expand the group's diverse and enthusiastic audience (Source: https://ronblock.com).This deep and insightful conversation with Ron covers everything from our identity in Christ, 2020 vision, elements of a healthy devotional life, C.S. Lewis, O' Brother, Where Art Thou, sex, and it even contains a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference.If you want to learn more about your identity, check out my book, Remember Who You Are.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/078...If you want to learn more about Ron Block or purchase some of his amazing music, check out his website: https://ronblock.comIf you like this Video Podcast, please like it, subscribe, and share it with as many people as you can.
