To be lost in the heart of worship is something that all Christians aspire to do. To be  moved by God's presence due to His goodness, love, and mercy, is something so strong and profound that it can't easily be put into words.Bethel Music's Jenn Johnson agrees.For the last 25 years, Johnson and Bethel Music have sought to bring music to the masses that invites listeners to take hold of their true identity and pursue intimacy with God above everything else. Fresh from winning two Dove Awards, including one for “Song of the Year”, Bethel Music has recently released a live praise and worship album called We Must Respond.. Recorded late last year at the Cascade Theater in Redding, California, its 17 songs feature the Bethel Music Collective as well as guest vocalistsBrooke Ligertwood, Abbie Gamboa, and Aodhan King.Johnson joins us to talk about the new album and how its title is a declaration of sorts. Listen as she explains why she considers each song to be a 'holy exchange' for listeners and she shares her perspective on the future of praise and worship music.

Hearing Christian stories in their triumphs and challenges is always inspiring.  In this episode we're tracking the journey of musician, songwriter, worship team member and church planter, Jesse Butterworth.  While many Christian lives start with their roots in early family life, most blossom later as we grow, mature and come to a true relationship with Jesus, in a real way.  And every story is unique.  Jesse's "moment" came in a dorm room listening to James Taylor. It was at this same Christian College that he hooked up with 3 other like-minded musician "want-to-be's" and started  a rag tag rock and roll band that led to an early signing to a record label, recording in Nashville and an album that won them multiple DOVE award nominations and a chance to play on the televised Dove Awards show.   All happening at the age of 22.  A crazy, God driven,  career trajectory!  A career that saw a dramatic change for Jesse in an instant,  while on stage playing a 5 minute 80's rock medley.  You'll hear about Jesse's recording journey to the Abby Road Studios and playing the same piano that John Lennon did, and singing through the same microphone that Elton, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Adelle, and others sang on over the years.   A dream come true.  You can sample the album  “All The Gold I've Struck” recorded at Abby Road and learn more about Jesse's work at: https://www.jessebutterworth.com/You can also watch the hilariously fun video Our Good Old Days that we talk about in the pod.Our conversation is filled with fun and laughter and hopefully some inspiration.  Don't miss a word of it.  Oh and you can help us grow our podcast audience by sharing this with a friend, "liking" it and leaving a review.  It really helps spread the word.God Bless."Amazing Greats" is a library of interviews with highly successful people who have amazing career and life stories and who share how God has impacted their journey.

Love, Leadership, and LoyaltyHe's battle tested. He's a proven leader. And his loyalty to his country, family, and alma mater is a clarion call in his life. Brigadier General Todd Fogle of the United States Air Force, for his service to our country, was recently awarded the distinguished 2024 “Alumnus of the Year” honor by Cedarville University.His rise to Brigadier General, in Fogle's words, is the result of God's blessings in his life, the investment of key leaders at Cedarville University during his college years, and the support from his wife of 32 years, Johanna.In this podcast, Fogle recalls with gratitude how Dick Walker invested in his life and always encouraged him to “stay the course.” Then there's Jim Cato, who took an inquisitive ROTC student to the Dove Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, and together developed action plans and processes that have guided the Swordbearers and Heartsong Ministries teams for decades.These investments in his life were pivotal to his military success. They also were helpful during tension-filled moments in combat, including when his plane was engaged in a lengthy gun battle with enemy fire that blanketed his plane with bullet holes.Throughout his life, General Fogle has been blessed by God and has exemplified virtue through his love, leadership, and loyalty. Join us on this week's episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast as Brig. Gen. Fogle recounts his extraordinary journey and invites you to soar alongside him.The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.https://share.transistor.fm/s/df2b411dhttps://youtu.be/v3MJSEtf66U

The definition of an unsung hero is one who does great deeds but receives little or no recognition for them. In the sports arena, it is a player that no one is expecting to score the winning touchdown, make the winning shot, or lead the team to victory. In the arts and entertainment world, an unsung hero is someone who makes all the necessary arrangements to ensure that a concert or theatrical performance goes off without a hitch. This person may not capture the hearts and imaginations of the audience, but their steadying influence on the production pushes it to a higher level. In the life of a family, an unsung hero often serves as the backbone of the home and provides a quiet, consistent influence to ensure that each member not only survives day to day life but thrives to their fullest potential. For KING & COUNTRY'S Luke Smallbone has achieved great heights of fame and popularity as a featured member of one of today's most successful contemporary Christian musical groups. With 13 Dove Awards and 4 Grammy Awards to their credit, Smallbone believes that none of this would have been possible without God's steadying hand and an unsung hero … his mother. Smallbone joins us on the Crossmap Podcast this week to discuss a new movie about his family's struggles upon their arrival in America from Australia and the effort to rebuild lives that seemed to have fallen to tatters. It's called Unsung Hero, and showcases a mother's faith to stand against all odds and inspire her husband and children to hold onto their faith in the grimmest of circumstances. Smallbone joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about what fueled his family's resilience to be patient with the idea of packing up their entire lives and coming to America. Listen as he shares about how his life might be different today if his parents hadn't made the bold, God-infused decision to leave everything behind to build a better tomorrow for their family.Links to CrossmapCrossmap WebsiteCrossmap Facebook

Album tours from 1988 to 1994, resulting in over a thousand concerts, helped to build a live connection with their fans.

This week I went semi-viral with my comments about Christian music's “Dove Awards,” in which three provocateurs showed up. On todays episode, you'll probably notice that I'm fired up due to the absurd silence of Christian platforms. Where is the solidarity from the industry, or from the Christian platforms? They are nowhere to be heard. The truth will set us free, but much of American Christianity believes that the truth is impolite. I'm sick of the wimpy, weak, and wokeness in our churches!

Website: ChurchOfJesusChrist.org The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints   BYUEducationWeek -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Strength of Youth To help you find the Way and to help you make Christ's doctrine the guiding influence in your life, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has prepared a new resource, a revised version of For the Strength of Youth.   For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Listeners to the Eric Metaxas Show will remember our annual effort to free Christians who have been enslaved for simply acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Thank you for your compassion  Giving the Gift of Freedom and Hope to the Enslaved South Sudanese -------------------------------------------------------- Food For The Poor https://foodforthepoor.org/ Help us serve the poorest of the poor Food For The Poor began in 1982 in Jamaica. Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------
