His story speaks hope to those who feel they've fallen too far to start again, those who remain chained to their past mistakes, and who, like Mattson, are learning, perhaps for the first time, to become acquainted with emotions they've suppressed for far too long.

Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty calls in (not duck calls in) from Louisiana to talk about his new book, The Theft Of America’s Soul: Blowing The Lid Off The Lies That Are Destroying Our Country (which released February 5, 2019). The book is described as “Writing with captivating storytelling and unflinching honesty, Phil shows how to make America a God-honoring nation once more: by exposing the ten central lies that rule our day for what they are, and taking up the ten truths that will bring peace of mind, harmony, and prosperity back to our country.” Much of the book stems from Phil’s personal life and testimony, so while it is written boldly, the book also has a humble vulnerability about it. (For fun, Phil also gives a little insight into the famous duck calls he has developed over the years). Scott Brandreth, Director of Promotions for the Phillies kicks off the show to chat about Bobby Abreu’s election this week to the Phillies’ Wall of Fame, upcoming promotions honoring 2008 World Series champions Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley & Ryan Howard, and about 2019 season ticket possibilities (details at www.phillies.com).

Chad Mattson, lead singer for soul-pop Christian rock-band Unspoken, was in the studio this week. He shares with us some gold nuggets of knowledge you don’t want to miss.In an ever-changing industry where the singles are the driving force behind its success, Chad fills us in on how signing a publishing deal was an aid to his band. Publishers can help push songs to the next level, to never settle for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd drafts of songs.Chad tells us the answer isn’t always a record deal. The answer to success in the industry is to follow the leading of God’s spirit and use your gifts to serve people and serve God. He tells us if you want to break into the indus-try you need to write as much as you can with as many people you can.

Christian lead singer Chad Mattson is celebrating 13 years of sobriety with the new album “Follow Through” with the band Unspoken. “Follow Through,” from Centricity Music, will be available Aug. 26, 2016. (Editor's note: All commercial music in my podcasts is used by permission of the artist who created it or representatives of the artist. I use limited clip lengths. I respect artists' copyrights.) Unspoken bandUnspoken formed out of Chad’s quest for sobriety, he told me during a recent interview. His life turned around on a “self-made” missions trip to the Dominican Republic to get sober. That’s where he met guitarist Mike Gomez. The Lord led them to return to the States to preach and use music as a tool. This record is “getting back to the first love that we had,” Chad said. Believers get busy and “tend not to finish it as strong as we started.” The album is a call to return to Jesus as your first love. Unspoken is also composed of original band member Ariel Munoz, a drummer from Puerto Rico, said Chad, who is from Maine. They recently picked up a new member, a keyboard player from Bristol, Tennessee. The band members did not want “Follow Through” to be a repeat of their first album, although it does have diverse styles like before. Chad described “Follow Through” as a lot of fun, upbeat with lots of victory while also featuring struggles and perseverance. Those are themes that everyone can relate to and be encouraged by, he said. One title, “Life In the Death Of Me,” is like an autobiographical song of where Chad was at one time. Chad described it as soulful, hooky, hip-hop influenced. He calls it “my story,” and more. “It’s all of our stories,” he said. “Jesus said that if a man wants to find his life, he has to lose it first. And if he wants to keep his life, he will lose it. This is really about finding life in Jesus Christ as we die to ourselves.” He calls it real. The song talks about him waking from a dream and seeing his name on a headstone. Addiction was leading him in that direction, but the Lord “changed it all around.” Another title, “The Cure,” describes Chad’s knowledge of what it means to be broken and to seek a remedy. “I came out of the drug culture,” he said in a press release. “From what I can tell it’s even worse now than it was when I was in it. We’re all looking for some kind of answers, some kind of fulfillment. That’s been the state of humanity for thousands of years. But the good news is, there’s something to fill that hunger. There’s something to heal that pain. There is a cure, and it’s Jesus.” Chad never dreamed of being a musician until he was saved. He learned God is not looking for our skills but for people who make themselves available to him, and when we do, He gives us abilities (or gifts). That's good, he said, since he wanted to play basketball but "was too short." Jon Lowry, the bass player, said in a press release, that there is more praise and thanksgiving on “Follow Through.” The album’s first single, “Higher, expresses that sentiment. A soulful celebration that the band collectively wrote around an inspiring horn riff, the song is an unconventional praise song, the press release states. More information about Unspoken is at http://unspokenmusic.com/site. You can learn about tour dates, buy their music and more. The album is also available on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon. — Jason Reynolds

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a personal genie who would grant our wishes? “Genie, clean my house, rub my husband's back, cook dinner, rub my feet.” Oh, that would be amazing! The problem is, genies are not real. But I do know somebody with some real power. God's power is very real and it can literally change your life. The thing is, sometimes we really do treat God as if He's a genie. “I need you to straighten out my kids. I need you to bring me some finances. I need you to heal my body. Got a whole to-do list for you, God.” The amazing thing is God wants to help us. He wants to have His power at work on our life, but there's no magic involved… just faith. I believe you are watching today on purpose and that you're about your to have your own encounter with God's power. My friend, Chad Mattson, is here to tell you his story. What God did for him, he can do for you.

What Else? with Corey Mann

Chad Mattson may sing for Unspoken, but he can be described as outspoken. We chat upbringing, relationships, addictions, and how serving one another is good for both parties involved.
