“Song is just a piece of art, and it's kind of like a landscape painting is a piece of art. It is reflective of the landscape, but in no way can it take in the full majesty of the landscape. It's just a picture of it, and it should inspire us to want to examine the real thing.” – Michelle Nezat Today's featured fellow bookcaster is a wife, mom, speaker, passionate Bible teacher, and coffee lover, Michelle Nezat. Michelle and I had a fun on a bun chat about her first book, “A Seat at the Table: A Contemporary Christian Redemption Story with a Hint of Romance”, why Christian music should complement, not replace, Scripture, lessons from podcasting for over 10 years, and more!!!Key Things You'll Learn:What inspired Michelle to start her podcast and eventually get Mandisa to repost one of her episodesWhy she's not a big fan of devotionalsWhat kept Michelle focused on her journey of deconstruction and reconstruction to finally getting her 1st novel publishedThree major lessons learned from starting, growing, and running her podcastMichelle's Site: https://www.michellenezat.com/podcast-tour/Michelle's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Table-Contemporary-Christian-Redemption/dp/B0DJK5ZX5Q/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0Michelle's Podcast, “More Than a Song”: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-than-a-song-discovering-the-truth-of/id829432908The opening track is titled, “Unknown From M.E. | Sonic Adventure 2 ~ City Pop Remix” by Iridium Beats.

Ever wondered what the first Christian praise and worship service sounded like? Join us as Dr. Charles Cosgrove unveils the mystery of the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, the earliest known Christian hymn with musical notation!

From producing award-winning records to unexpectedly winning a Dove Award later in life, Steven's story is a powerful reminder that calling isn't about recognition—it's about faithfulness. This episode is a must-listen for creatives, musicians, and anyone wondering if it's too late to step into what they were made for.

Fear has a way of convincing us that we’re alone — that our future is uncertain, our past is catching up to us, and the darkness ahead is too much to face. But Psalm 23 offers a different vision: a Shepherd who goes before us, walks beside us, and pursues us with goodness and mercy. Rather than denying the realities that frighten us, it points us to the presence of Christ in the midst of them. Listen to this sermon as Shawn Slate explores why the Good Shepherd is the answer to our deepest fears. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here. Visit us on our website to learn more.

James passed away on May 17, 2026 and this is one of my last conversations with him. I've never known anyone as passionate about the gospel and in love with people as James and I will miss him dearly.

In a world that talks endlessly about love, how do we actually know what love looks like? When we take a look at Scripture, it challenges the idea that love is simply following our feelings, revealing instead how God’s law shapes and defines what it means to truly love others. Far from being restrictive, God’s commands are shown to be a guide toward human flourishing, faithfulness, and lives transformed by grace. Listen to this sermon as Twaambo Moyo explores how the gospel changes our relationship to the law and teaches us to love the way God intended. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Matt opens up about the evolution from touring artist to husband, father, and speaker. This episode dives into the tension between success and significance—and the moment he realized something had to change.

Politics can feel exhausting, divisive, or impossible to escape — but how should Christians actually engage with the world of government and power? When exploring the tension between earthly authority and ultimate allegiance to Christ, we see a vision for faithful citizenship that neither idolizes politics nor withdraws from it. In a culture tempted to place its hope in leaders and institutions, we’re reminded where true hope is meant to rest. Listen to this sermon as Andrew Smith unpacks what it means to honor authority while keeping Christ at the center of our loyalty. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

Then we'll get into the convictions God has been putting on our hearts lately: from less secular music (and more Christian music we've filling my home with), to becoming a mama who points my kids to Jesus (which has to start with me), to being a better friend, and learning to actually listen when God presses something on my heart.

In a world shaped by outrage and division, it’s easy to believe that revenge is the only path to justice. But the gospel offers a radically different way — one that confronts wrongdoing honestly while refusing to let bitterness have the final word. Through life’s hardest challenges, we’re invited to see how forgiveness can break cycles of hurt and open the door to something unexpected and healing.

Ed Nalle of GLAD is one of my musical heroes! On this episode, Ed opens up about the band's humble beginnings, the creative risks that led to their groundbreaking a cappella success, and the lessons he learned about authentic artistry.

The kind of community we long for is real, but it looks nothing like what the world typically offers. When we turn to Scripture, we see a radically different vision of relationships, where love is genuine, self-giving, and strong enough to endure both joy and pain. This vision challenges the way we approach others, inviting us into a deeper, more honest, and more sacrificial way of living together. Listen to this sermon as Jason Harris shows how receiving Christ’s love can reshape the way we love one another. ________ Sign up for Central’s newsletters here.

I've know Smitty for nearly 40 years and he's still the same humble, genuine man I met back in 1987. Get ready for a fascinating look back at his career and what he still has on his bucket list.

We’re all being shaped by something, but rarely do we stop to ask what it is.

It challenges the idea that surrender is restrictive, showing instead how it leads to true freedom and lasting change.

A single kiss in the garden exposes both betrayal and the fragile nature of the human heart.

In the late 1990's Andrew Osenga's high school band caught the ear of a member of Whiteheart. That led Osenga to Nashville and his band, The Normals, releasing three albums on ForeFront Records. In the decades since The Normals disbanded, Osenga has toured as a member of Caedmon's Call, worked as a music executive, written the book How To Remember and created the podcast, The Pivot, to just scratch the surface of his CV. In this conversation we talk about how touring with The Normals exposed Osenga to a wider variety of Christian religious traditions than his small "cornfield church" did. He also talks about how the current worship industry commercialization has led to a shallow understanding of Christian faith.---Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?
