“Our theories about God and the way he works get confronted with the reality of our lives.” This is the most refreshing conversation I've had in a long time, friends, because I got to talk about some kind of taboo topics without an ounce of the baggage. Joining me this week is Andy Squyres, a brilliantly one-of-a-kind songwriter who never, ever shies away from graciously grappling with the tough stuff. I've received so much from his songs and essays, and I received even more from speaking with him about all my favorite things—you know, like suffering, sorrow, and doubt. Normal! If you join me on this episode of the GoodHard Story Podcast, here's what you'll take away: Comfort for the days that God feels absent Hope for a new kind of faith after deconstructing Where to fit doubt into your friendship with Jesus What to do when God doesn't come through for you An alternative response to political anxiety Looking for a safe place to work through some doubts about who God is and whether he's good? Then this episode is for you. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at hopeheals.com/podcast.

Sam McCabe, a singer-songwriter and worship leader from Houston, Texas, speaks with Mike about quarterly preaching, and the pitfalls and opportunities that are available to those who preach messages and then wait three months until the next time! He speaks about the dangers of being over-prepared, and the opportunities to meditatively think through a passage and its implications in the long gestation period leading up to a teaching. Sam also talks about the relationship between the teaching of the Word and the worship of the church - which one prepares for the other? Additionally there is some very practical advice on how late in the week a preaching pastor should suggest songs to the worship team! Sam endeavors to craft songs that resonate with the depth and complexity of real life. From moments of profound joy to the depths of grief, from the peaks of hope to the valleys of loss, Sam's music explores the entirety of the human experience, intertwining themes of sanctification, doubt, and unwavering faith. His artistic journey surged forward with the release of his 2020 single "I Want To Serve God," marking the beginning of a prolific career. Subsequent singles, such as "Christ Be In My Heart" featuring the acclaimed Kristene DiMarco from Bethel Music, and "Jesus Loves the World" featuring Leeland, further solidified his presence in the music scene. Sam's albums, "Altar Fire I" and "Altar Fire II," delve into the transformative journey of following Jesus, offering listeners a soul-stirring exploration of faith and spiritual growth. Adding to his impressive repertoire, Sam is set to unveil his highly anticipated full-length live worship album, "The Death of Death," in early September of this year. Boasting collaborations with renowned artists including Pat Barrett, Leeland, Andy Squyres, and his own wife, Samantha McCabe. Sam's influence extends beyond his solo projects, with notable cuts alongside artists such as Bethel Music, Maverick City, Brandon Lake, Chris Tomlin, and David Leonard.

Sunday's Sermon: Aliso Creek Church Podcast (https://alisocreekchurchpodcast.fireside.fm) Passage: On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. Jesus's mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus's mother told him, “They don't have any wine.” 4 “What has this concern of yours to do with me, woman? ” Jesus asked.“My hour has not yet come.” 5 “Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants. 6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained twenty or thirty gallons. 7 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.” And they did. 9 When the headwaiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from — though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom 10 and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.” 11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. 12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, together with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there only a few days. -- John 2:1-12 (CSB) Song: Water to Wine (https://open.spotify.com/track/6mzf5X2jMU9t5GiSg6OBdR?si=a6004c37f2234563) by Andy Squyres, Kate Bluett, Latifah Alattas, Nicholas Chambers, and Paul Zach Lyrics: Consider now the hawks that fly Above the hills, beneath the sky Whose wisdom rings from overhead The earth below is daily bread Consider now the miracle Of rain that falls into the soil And swells the grape upon the vine It's always been water to wine Imagine every buried seed Enshrouded in the furrows deep That breaks itself apart to rise And lift the ground up to the skies Imagine heaven reaching down A gift poured out from heavy clouds Restoring all our withered vines It's always been water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Remember Christ the living bread The seed grown high and harvested Who gathers us into the feast Gleaning every fallen seed Remember earth will bloom again And Christ will be our living spring The fountain welling up inside It's always been water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Water to wine Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Hello Podcasties. Unfortunately our sermon podcast failed to record this week, but in lieu of a sermon on greed we present to you this wonderful conversation between poet/priest Andy Squyres and Nina Schuurman-Drenth (one of the pastors at Eucharist). This conversation was full and rich, touching on topics such as de/re-constructing faith, the role of church in the modern world, and a lot of musings about art and the creative process. It's well worth a listen. Enjoy.
Andy Squyres is a singer-songwriter born and raised in the mountains of Northern California but after moving east in the late 1990's, he's spent the last few decades carving songs out of the foothills of his North Carolina home. Andy is Heavily influenced by the poetics of Leonard Cohen and the lyrical tradition of artists like Bob Dylan and The National. His passion for words convey a raw and unmatched honesty that bring listeners face to face with overlooked parts of our own humanity and weave together a tapestry of heartbreak and hope. In this episode, Andy and Stephen talk backstage at the Loom creative arts gathering about Andy's creative process, confronting the empty page and what it takes to build a sustainable lifestyle of making music and making a living. Patrons of the podcast can enjoy an additional interview segment with Andy of the making of his latest release Death Defying Joy which you're hearing throughout this episode.

Part singer, part songwriter, part uneducated lover of words.
Recent headlines and statistics are not encouraging. There are more than 72 Million Millennials in America, almost one-quarter of our population. An increasingly large portion of the Millennials are walking away from a faith of any kind, choosing to identify themselves as religious ‘nones.' Researchers in 2008 noted that one third of all Millennials describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated. Ten years later that number had grown to 42%. More trouble: Church numbers in America have suffered a decades-long decline. Gallop first measured church membership in America in 1937. It was 73%. In the 1980's it was 70%. In 2000 65%. By 2010 it was 59%. Today, less than half of Americans 47% are part of a church. Falling away from the Church or falling away from the faith is serious but it is a deeper reflection of people falling away from Jesus. I. What does this mean? 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 This is a prophecy about tomorrow that may have implications for today. This falling away Paul is referring is more than a gradual defection from the Church. He calls it “The Falling Away.” Don't panic. We may be seeing the beginning of the great falling away but not the full effect of the tribulation. Therefore, we still have time to work! II. How could people fall away? a. Some people fall away because they are deceived. I Timothy 4:1-2 b. Some people fall away because they are disillusioned. Luke 8:5-8; 12-13 c. Some fall away because they are distracted. Luke 8:14-15 III. Where do we go from here? a. Examine yourselves II Corinthians 13:5; Matthew 7:21-23 b. Encourage yourselves I Samuel 30:6 c. Exercise yourselves I Timothy 4:7-8; Revelation 2:4-5; Jude 24-25 “It's okay if you don't deconstruct your faith! Practice subversion. Practice resistance. Go to church. Go to Sunday school. Go to youth group and pot-luck and feel free to not apologize for it. Read the Bible even if you don't understand it. Read the Bible and come alive. Give money. Give time. Feel free to not deconstruct. Feel free to not have a crisis of faith. I mean, it's okay if you do have a crisis of faith but feel free not to manufacture one. Doubt is normal but it's not as normal as faith. We are hard-wired to believe. Don't fetishize your doubts. Of course, life is full of crises which seem to contradict God's existence. I do not care. The abyss does not scare me. It is fair to critique the inadequacies of mental assent but go ahead, go on up that mountain of belief. Christ isn't at the top. He is the mountain and it will feel like at times he is resisting you but you'll soon see that the obstacles he allows are simply the places where you will discover the truth of your testimony. Resist the pressure to start a new religion. Resist the pressure to buy someone else's new piecemeal religion. Don't do drugs. Stay married if you can. Resist graceless religious fervor. Conform to the image of Christ. Take seriously Matthew 5, 6 and 7. Take these teachings into your heart and live your whole life by them. You are the salt of the earth.” Andy Squyres

This week we welcome our friend Andy Squyres to lead us in a reflection on Luke 9.
Friends, this conversation was such a joy. Andy Squyres has quickly worked his way into being one of my favorite songwriters (and writers). As you'll hear in the conversation, it's not just his cleverness and wit (although he has it). It's his willingness to, as he says, "tell the whole story" through pastoral artistry. We cover a lot of ground in this interview, but not without thoroughly examining said ground. At the time of this interview, Andy was beginning this new, pivotal moment of his life. Yet the clarity and soundness of mind he brings to the common questions many are asking in the Post-Christian West doesn't leave you feeling unheard or confused. Perhaps he sums his artistic vocation and its place up best when he says: "I'm confusing... I'm not confused, but I'm confusing." While his words may, to some audiences, feel like a stumbling block, his work is not based in resentment, polarization, or anything of the power-grabbing sort. It's rooted in love, and it's been a blessing to me. I pray this conversation, and his writings bless you. More about Andy. ______________ Contact me: jordansleed@icloud.com I'll see you soon.

Notes:Isaiah 53:3-4Title: Amazing JesusLord, I don't understand You, but I trust You.Matthew 8:1-41. Jesus isn't just good, Jesus is God.2. Jesus isn't just a teacher, Jesus is the Temple.Matthew 8:5-13God's favor isn't rooted in behavior. God's favor is rooted in a Savior.Luke 7:4-51. Self-Righteousness2. Self-Rejection“Faith that amazes Jesus emerges from a person that is amazed by Jesus.” Rich VollidasMatthew 8:8-9“Think of authority this way: the capacity for meaningful action. When you have authority, what you do, or do not do, makes a meaningful difference in the world around you.” Andy CrouchGod's authority doesn't come to those who manifest their destiny, it comes to those who confess Christ's divinity.Matthew 8:14-17“God is always faithful, but he is extremely unpredictable. You cannot rely on your assumptions about what he will or will not do… Look at the apostles in the early days of the Church. Peter was supernaturally delivered out of prison from the edge of Herod's sword, the same sword which only days previously beheaded James the Son of Thunder… So why all the difficulty? Why does God insist that the world remain unyieldingly chaotic? My conclusion is this: only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist. Only in a world where pain is real can love be proved.” Andy SquyresLord, I don't fully understand You, but I fully trust You.
Today's podcast is also available as in video format: https://youtu.be/plgag7h2vPY In nearly 4 years of recording these sorts of long-form discussions, I can honestly say that this was one of the best conversations I've ever had. I struggled to even give it a title. I never want to hype something up, so please trust me when I say that you'll really want to watch or listen to this whole thing. The crescendo of where we get to by the end together is still stirring my heart now.

You don't have to be alone in your spiritual questions and you don't have to play by society's "new standard" of taking sides and being polarized. Join us!At top of episode, Joey proposes some double-standards to co-hosts Matt Oxley and Ellen Mauro, in how male "body-part slang," like the word "d*ck" is acceptable for casual use while the female "body-part slang word" "p***y," isn't. Brian Allain has partnered with the likes of Diana Butler Bass, Brian McLaren and Shane Claiborne to actually try and bring Christians from all spectrums (fundamentalists and progressives) together, aligned in love. They (plus others) all compiled some essays on how we can do it in How to Heal Our Divides: a Practical Guide. Brian and I discuss with special guest-host, Andy Squyres, the reasons for division, we reflect on the lost art of seeing humans as complicated, we look at how our beliefs in the afterlife dictate the rest of our practices, and ponder whether or not the late Rachel Held Evans (or you fill in the blank with your favorite "neighborhood progressive") was in the same "body of Christ" as Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham (or you fill in the blank with your favorite "neighborhood fundamentalist.")Brian Allain: Website Andy Squyres: Website / Instagram / Twitter Podcast Hosts: Ellen Mauro Instagram / Matt Oxley Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends, and Ray Deezy.

I first came across Andy through his music, most recently I've been deeply encouraged by his writing. After one particularly poignant post, I reached out to him and asked if he would join me for a conversation on the podcast. He agreed, and this is what came out. Who is Andy? In his own words... "I am a man in my late forties. I have been married to my wife for 27 years. All my children are beautiful and smart. I have one grandchild and he is the joy of my life. I work as a pastor in a small church which I really love. I also write and sing songs and travel around occasionally to do that in front of people. When I enter my fifties my plan is to start taking art classes because I want to devote the last quarter of my life (75-100) to be a great visual artist working mostly in abstraction. I have a deep love for Christ and for His Church." If this conversation helps you as it helped me you can find more from Andy on his website @andysquyres.com

You Bring the Morning Andy Squyres You bring the gladness/I'll bring the gleaming You bring the glory/I'll bring the singing You bring the table/I'll bring the feasting Somewhere in the distance I hear wedding bells ringing You bring the comfort/I'll bring my thinking You bring the new wine/I'll bring the drinking You bring your spirit/I'll bring the weeping I have nothing else but the promises you're keeping You bring the morning You bring the evening I'm gonna praise you With every breath that I'm breathing You bring the working day So a man can keep believing So a woman can keep on dreaming And after the fire dies You open up our eyes again You bring the stillborn baby to my shoulder You bring your sorrow to every fallen soldier You bring your passion To the graves that we stand over Young love that we lost We will find as we grow older You bring the mountain So I have somewhere to wander You bring the ocean So I can walk on water You bring the wilderness So I can learn to hunger I feel you like a phantom I can't explain your wonder Prayer of Confession Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Psalm 146 1 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul! * I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 2 Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, * for there is no help in them. 3 When they breathe their last, they return to earth, * and in that day their thoughts perish. 4 Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help! * whose hope is in the Lord their God; 5 Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; * who keeps his promise for ever; 6 Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, * and food to those who hunger. 7 The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind; * the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; 8 The Lord loves the righteous; the Lord cares for the stranger; * he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked. 9 The Lord shall reign for ever, * your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Hallelujah! Mark 7:24-37 (NRSV) Jesus set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.” But she answered him, “Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.” Then he said to her, “For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your daughter.” So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone. Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. They were astounded beyond measure, saying, “He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.” The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The Lord's Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Collect of the Day Proper 18, Rite Two Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Psalm 34:9-14 9 Fear the Lord, you that are his saints, * or those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. 11 Come, children, and listen to me; * I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 Who among you loves life * and desires long life to enjoy prosperity? 13 Keep your tongue from evil-speaking * and your lips from lying words. 14 Turn from evil and do good; * seek peace and pursue it. John 6:51-58 (NRSV) Jesus said, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.” The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Collect of the Day Proper 15, Rite Two Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Collect of the Day Proper 15, Rite Two Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
[Theme song not included, all music on this episode by Andy Squyres]“Joey Svendsen here. This is a conversation for the ages for me and the epitome of where I'm at in how I view my faith, God and my church . May we all accept the freedom from our arrogance. May we strive to progress in our love."Musician/song-writer Andy Squyres discusses with Joey the following post he made on his Instagram: The good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is always given by people who only partially understand it, and it is received by people who probably know a little less. The preaching of the Gospel is the active work of displaying our partial understanding (or misunderstanding) of God to those who also have only a partial understanding. There is no systematic theology or statement of belief which provides ultimate understanding of God. It is not impossible to understand the Gospel, but it is never accurate to claim to have all understanding of it. All communication of Christ IS the communication of our limited understanding of him. Or in other words, it is the bold proclamation of our misunderstanding.The communication of the Gospel, whether by word or deed, can in no way happen perfectlybecause the God story can only come through imperfect vessels with limited understanding. This is the brilliance of God and is a testimony to his reliance on patient love rather than on control. His good news always travels by imperfect means and yet it never stops producing peace. This isn't to say that all presentations of the gospel are on equal footing or that we should never wrestle through theological systems of thought. We should always seek the face of Christ in order to see him better. But we can trust that God's grace is sufficient at the point of our limited understanding and we can rely on the fact that he is the author and finisher of our faith. So who is the preacher you don't like? What is the church, mega church, denomination that you have proclaimed judgement upon? I have my list. I am guilty of holding court in my mind and pronouncing guilty verdicts on many different communities of faith who have come to different conclusions that I have. This is arrogance which came to set us free from. In the Church, we are witnessing a massive “leaving church” movement and I can actually see the justification for it, but I worry that there is no place to go. Because here is the actual truth: hypocrisy abounds EVERYWHERE. There is no human community that has eradicated hypocrisy from its midst. Progress in love is our only aim.

Nick talks with Andy Squyres about his new record “Poet Priest,” creative sustainability, and “respecting the listener.” The two talk about Andy's lyrical and musical influences for the new record, pursuing music as a family man, and what it looks like to have faith in a culture increasingly critical of evangelical Christianity. Andy Squyres is a pastor and songwriter from North Carolina. In 2015 he released his first record, “Cherry Blossoms,” which was written and released after the murder of a friend, and the emotional and spiritual wrestling that took place in the wake of his friend's death. His brand new album “Poet Priest” was released on February 25th to critical acclaim. Andy might be the “Christian songwriters' favorite songwriter,” and he may or may not like Garth Brooks.

Conversations about Jesus, church,worship,and much more
The Bible has strict prohibitions on creating & practicing idolatry but yet also sometimes seems to bless the creation of sacred, symbolic art like the ornate features found in Moses' tabernacle and Solomon's temple, so what distinguishes the use of art and symbol as being idolatrous from something blessed as a sacred? What deeper, existential implications may we need to consider about the role of symbols and how we are to interact with them? How are we not all that different today from ancient people who would worship statues?For previous episodes exploring the intersection of theology & the arts/culture, including last week's discussion with singer-songwriter Andy Squyres check out:https://deeptalkstheologypodcast.podbean.com/p/theology-and-culture/ If you want to support this podcast and become a member of the Deep Talks Patreon Community, go to this link:https://www.patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast To Subscribe & Review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159 Connect with Paul Anleitner on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PaulAnleitner You can also give a one-time donation for this episode directly at: https://cash.app/$PaulAnleitner

Andy Squyres is a singer-songwriter from North Carolina. His songs are both heartbreaking and utterly hopeful. Andy's new song "You Bring The Morning" epitomizes this tension — and is more than worth a listen.

Andy is currently the worship pastor of Queen City Church located in Charlotte, NC.
In our first interview of 2019, Paul talks with singer-songwriter Andy Squyres about what happens when our particular set of beliefs and experiences within our unique "stream" of faith brush up against suffering or doubt and create questions that we don't have easy answers for.In this conversation, Andy also shares about his unique upbringing in Charismatic churches, why he thinks the Church is the best place to wrestle with God, and why we need room for honest lament to stay spiritually healthy.Andy's 2015 album Cherry Blossoms was widely acclaimed as one of the best singer-songwriter records of the year beautifully capturing the joys, sorrows, pain, and hope that comes with any authentic journey of Christian faith.Not only is he a songwriter, but he is also a pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina where he and his wife Amy and their six children reside. He has a new record in the works, scheduled to be released later this year.Paul and Andy's long form discussion is presented in its entirety, unedited, after a brief introduction.
