This week we take a heartfelt look at the “dash”—that time between our birth date and our death date—and how our faith can guide us to make every moment count. Entrepreneur and cofounder of Market America, Loren Ridinger, and gospel singer Lynda Randle join us to share their powerful stories of how trusting in God’s plan has shaped their journeys. With resilience and gratitude, they leaned into their faith through loss, fear, and even discrimination, and tell us how we can all leave a lasting legacy rooted in love and service.

It is love in the harshest, hardest form.” - Loren Ridinger “If I have a bad day personally—and a bad day could be I'm just sad, I don't want to get up, I feel heartbroken, I feel angry, I feel mad—I give myself grace for going through those emotions.” - Loren Ridinger “When you lose someone, you lose belief. You question God. You question all types of things. And then all of a sudden, it's God that helps you back out of it. It's Him who says, ‘We can get through anything.’” - Loren Ridinger “We're all going to have a death date. We all have that. But what we do with that line—that little dash—is what will make the difference. And that's what we do with our life. Let's make the biggest difference to help people. What are you going to do with the dash?” - Loren Ridinger, quoting her late husband JR Ridinger “We only get this lifetime that we know of, and the most important thing that you can do is enjoy the journey because life is short.” - Loren Ridinger “God used music in my life, not only as this instrument to encourage people and lift the hearts of people, but to help build bridges and communicate with people that maybe on any given day probably wouldn't even have me in their home.” - Lynda Randle “When you can't have a conversation with some people because they just don't want to talk or they are so angry, music has a way of melting the heart, calming the spirit.” - Lynda Randle “I know that the ministry that God's given me to build bridges is significant. It's necessary. And a lot of walls are coming down.” - Lynda Randle “I just want every woman to know no matter what the brokenness, no matter what the pain, no matter what the devastation—God sees you as a whole woman.” - Lynda Randle _______________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Dan Pitts, owner of True Artist Management, and Paige Pitts, founder of New Hope Academy, will be with us this Thursday.   Dan was a typical white kid who, Wes says, “knew next to nothing about racial injustice until he started working with Toby Mac and DC Talk and learned about the challenges that come with racial prejudice.” At the same time, Paige became deeply convinced that God calls His people to care about justice and righteousness. And since access to educational opportunities is a key indicator of racial inequality, she founded New Hope Academy 28 years ago in Franklin as a school of excellence that is both ethnically and socioeconomically diverse.   Williamson County is the 22nd richest county out of the 3,144 counties in America. It's easy for us to ignore the fact that some of us live in house trailers; a few still have outhouses; there is homelessness in our county. It's easy for us to ignore that God calls His people to care about justice and righteousness.

We're coming out like a .45, spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive covering the debut solo record from Kevin Max, Stereotype Be. There may have been times he thought, “I Don't Belong” in DC Talk, but he finally succeeded in Shaping Space for a record all his own. Will we experience a Union Of The Soul, or will we feel he Went Over The Edge Of The World?

We're kicking off Solo September with Empty by Tait. Interestingly, Michael Tait was the only DC Talk member to form a group instead of going the full solo artist route. Will we be Bonded with his debut “solo” record, or will it seem like things are coming Unglued? One thing is certain.

Plus we dive deep into the trend of Christian's needing to pretend they have their life all together, with the help of dc Talk. To get in touch with host Aiden Grant, email aideng@hotmail.com or head to Instagram Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

****On Pastors example about choosing to deny Christ or have children die-- a very intense description but this kind of confrontation by psychopath extremists and evil persecutors has happened in history before.. here are a few examples: "Jesus Freaks" by DC Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs, which documents numerous accounts of Christian martyrs, including those where families and children were involved. While these stories might not always be verified to the extent of historical accounts like those of ancient martyrs, they are shared as testimonies of faith under persecution.Example from North KoreaA more contemporary account, although not involving shooting specifically, comes from North Korea, where intense persecution of Christians is well-documented. There have been reports where families, including children, have been executed or sent to labor camps because of their Christian faith. In some cases, parents have been forced to watch their children suffer or die because they would not deny Christ.The Armenian GenocideDuring the Armenian Genocide (1915-1917), there were many reports of Christian Armenians who were forced to watch their children being killed or threatened with their children's lives in an attempt to force them to convert to Islam. Though the methods of execution varied, the intent was often the same: to pressure the parents to deny their Christian faith by leveraging the lives of their children. Modern-day PersecutionIn more recent years, reports from countries like Nigeria, where Boko Haram and other extremist groups have targeted Christian families, include stories where parents were forced to watch their children being killed because they refused to convert to Islam or deny Christ. These incidents are often reported by survivors or human rights organizations.This illustrate the brutal reality that some Christian parents have faced in choosing their faith over their children's lives. It is nothing anyone wants to think about, but a reality nonetheless.

LET'S TALK: Zoetic: Spotify / Instagram / Linktree Kierstyn St. John, founder/songwriter/producer for the Christian jazz-pop fusion duo Zoetic, joins Melvin to discuss all things Christian Contemporary Music (CCM)! First, Melvin interviews Kierstyn about the Zoetic project, their mix of musical genre, and comfortability with challenging lyrics. Following this, the two discuss two films, Jesus Revolution and The Jesus Music, and how they showcase a semi-CCM-industry-self-portrait on the birthplace of CCM and it's continued development over the decades. Following this, and using the films as a foundation, Melvin asks Kierstyn whether the CCM "vibes" are good, if CCM can overcome the problems she perceives in the industry, and what has her excited for the current world of CCM.MAILBAG: Send questions with your first name and we'll answer them in future episodes!

In addition to his own wide-ranging work as a recording artist, he has written well-known songs such “Every Heartbeat,” which was a major pop hit for Amy Grant, and “In the Light,” which is best known for the version recorded by DC Talk. He's responsible for developing and producing the Grammy Award-winning duo The Civil Wars and the Modern Rock band Switchfoot, including their multi-platinum Top 40 pop hit “Dare You to Move.” Peacock launched his career as an artist on the Northern California jazz scene before recording his debut album, Lie Down in the Grass, which was released by A&M Records in the mid-1980s. After a stint with Island Records, he moved to Nashville to work as an artist and producer. His 1990 album, The Secret of Time, earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rock/Contemporary Gospel Album. In that decade, he produced nearly 50 albums for other artists, and was named the Gospel Music Association's Producer of the Year for three consecutive years.The long list of artists he has produced includes Nicole Nordeman, David Crowder, Holly Williams, The Lone Bellow, Al Green, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. He has produced a wide range of music for film and television, including the Mandy Moore film A Walk To Remember, Chris Cornell's "Misery Chain" from the soundtrack of Twelve Years a Slave, and "Hush," the title theme to the AMC drama Turn: Washington's Spies, featuring Joy Williams and Matt Berninger of The National.As an artist, he returned to jazz with the Love Press Ex-Curio album in 2005 before embracing vocal music once again with his 2012 album No Man's Land. In late 2015, Peacock was appointed the Director of Contemporary Music and Industry Outreach at Lipscomb University's College of Arts and Entertainment in Nashville. An author of several books, his forthcoming memoir will explore his musical life, while  his latest album as an artist, Every Kind of Uh-Oh, will be released at the end of August.

What happened to the kids raised during the peak era of Christian rock? For insight into the state of Christian rock's late 1990s-early aughts evangelicalism you need not look any further than members of DC Talk, the pinnacle of youth group music. Their trajectory as artists and public figures roughly maps on to the trajectories of the millions of teens raised in American evangelicalism. In this episode,  journalist and producer Andrew Gill (Sound Opinions) surprises historian Leah Payne (God Gave Rock and Roll to You: a History of Contemporary Christian Music) with a fan-made quiz that asks: are you a Toby Mac, a Michael Tait, or a Kevin Max? Together with two Christian rock aficionados, journalist Jason Kirk (author of Hell Is a World Without You) and comedian Kevin T. Porter (co-host of Good Christian Fun), Rock That Doesn't Roll explores the aftermath of the peak youth group band era.Take the quiz for yourself!Listen to the Hell Is a World Without You playlist on Spotify.Do you have a Christian rock story to tell?

If you grew up in or adjacent to evangelical culture, the sounds of ‘90s and early 2000s Christian Rock are as familiar to you as the beginning bars of Britney Spears “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” The Newsboys, dcTalk, Jars of Clay, Third Day, Jennifer Knapp, Caedmon's Call — these groups peaked just twenty years ago, but the sound and vibe feels like an archeological find. Same for the crossover “secular” hits from Creed, Lifehouse, Sixpence None the Richer, and Switchfoot. Where did Christian rock go? Did it just get devoured by Nickelback and Noah Kahan? Was it actually good? And what purpose did it actually serve in what we now understand as the evangelical culture war? Leah Payne, author of a God Gave Rock & Roll To You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music joins us to root the rise of Christian rock in history — and consider the ways it was wielded to control teens. If you grew up in this culture, there will be a lot of nostalgic groaning; if you didn't, we've worked hard to make it as accessible as possible — and help connect some dots about how evangelical ideologies work their way into the mainstream.Join the ranks of paid subscribers and get bonus content, access to the discussion threads, ad-free episodes, and the knowledge that you're supporting an indie pod trying to make its way in the world.

DC Talk's song "What If I Stumble?" from their 1995 Jesus Freak album, feature the opening lyrics Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord? Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?   What has always been a temptation with the platform and with the stage is to make the person(s) bigger than the message.  Today a quick websearch of "Christian Celebrity Culture" will bring up several articles and viewpoints about where we are at as a church culture with our own "celebrities" and big names.  Overall, is this a bad thing?  Is seeking fame wrong?  And if we have influence, is it being used to point people to Christ or simply to ourselves?  Today's episode is the first in this "Stuff That's Been On My Mind" series; a series looking at some hot-button issues that need to be looked at within the lens of the Gospel.
