Bubba Smith may not be a household name, but his fingerprints are on some of the most influential Christian music of the last five decades.

Marty joins me for an honest conversation about family, faith, songwriting, and the unexpected turns life takes after decades in music. He'll share stories from his upbringing in south Louisiana, his early years leading worship, life on the road with 4Him, and how God continues to shape his ministry through teaching, mentoring, and creating new music.
For nearly a decade, Mike "Q" Quistad was the man who kept one of Christian music's biggest touring bands moving. As 4Him's tour manager, he handled everything from budgets and logistics to impossible travel schedules, backstage crises, demanding promoters, and the daily challenge of keeping four artists focused on what they did best. This is a tribute to friendship, servant leadership, and the people behind the scenes who rarely get the applause—but deserve so much of it.

In Galatians 5:16–26, Paul calls believers to walk by the Spirit and not gratify the desires of the flesh. This passage shows the battle between the flesh and the Spirit, the works of the flesh that pull us away from God, and the fruit of the Spirit that is produced in the life of a believer.As followers of Christ, we are called not only to live by the Spirit but to keep in step with the Spirit, faithfully discerning God's direction for our lives.

In Galatians 5:1–15, the Apostle Paul reminds believers that Christ has set His people free—not to return to slavery, but to walk in faith, freedom, and love. As false teachers attempted to lead the Galatian churches back under the burden of the law, Paul passionately calls them to stand firm in the gospel of grace and reject any message that adds human effort to salvation.This passage reveals that faith alone in Christ alone produces two things the enemy hates: true freedom in Christ and genuine brotherly love among believers. Paul warns that the Christian life is a spiritual battle where false teaching constantly threatens to distort the gospel and rob believers of the freedom Christ purchased for them. Yet the freedom found in Christ is not freedom to sin—it is freedom to joyfully serve and love one another.

In Galatians 4:21–31, the Apostle Paul uses the historical account of Sarah, Hagar, Isaac, and Ishmael to illustrate the difference between slavery under the law and the freedom found through faith in Christ. Paul reminds believers that God's promises are fulfilled not through human effort or self-reliance, but through trusting Him and walking by faith.Through this powerful allegory, we see the danger of taking matters into our own hands instead of patiently trusting God's timing and promises. Abraham and Sarah struggled to believe God would fulfill His word, leading to painful consequences when they attempted to accomplish God's plan through human effort. Yet Paul points believers back to the gospel of grace—reminding us that justification comes by faith alone, not by works or religious performance.
