With a B3 organ, a prophetic imagination, and a heart broken wide open by grace, gospel music legend Andraé Crouch (1942–2015) left an indelible mark on modern Christian worship music. In this episode, Stephen Newby and Robert Darden offer a sweeping yet intimate exploration of his life, spiritual vision, and genre-defining genius. Together with Mark Labberton, they discuss their new biography, Soon and Very Soon: The Transformative Music and Ministry of Andraé Crouch. Through laughter, lament, and lyrical memory, Newby and Darden—both scholars at Baylor University and coauthors of the first serious biography of Crouch—share stories of discovering his music, the theological and cultural forces that shaped it, and why his legacy matters now more than ever. They offer insights into modern musical history, spiritual reflection, and cultural analysis, inviting us into the soul of a man who helped bring modern gospel into being. Episode Highlights “Musical genius is where observation, curiosity, imagination, and humility are baked in the oven.” “He was always tracking what was going on in the room and in his heart. He understood the cues, clues, and codes of what God was doing.” “Andre felt it was important that the music was just as inspired as the lyrics. It was total praise.” “'Soon and Very Soon' is an ancient future song—we have to keep singing it, especially now.” “Andraé burned out a lot of musicians—but all of them adore him to this day.” Helpful Links and Resources Soon and Very Soon: The Transformative Music and Ministry of Andraé Crouch by Stephen Newby and Robert Darden (Penn State University Press) Black Gospel Music Preservation Project (Baylor University) “Jesus is the Answer,” by Andraé Crouch “Through It All,” by Andraé Crouch “Soon and Very Soon” **by Andraé Crouch People Get Ready!: A New History of Black Gospel Music by Robert Darden About Stephen Newby Stephen Michael Newby is a composer, conductor, and scholar.

Show Notes Andraé Crouch called the “father of contemporary modern gospel” for his groundbreaking influence on the genre Guest Stephen Newby holds the Lev H. Pritchard III Chair in Black Worship and Music at Baylor University Guest Robert Darden is emeritus professor of journalism at Baylor and founder of the Black Gospel Music Preservation Project Labberton celebrates the book's narrative, musical, and sociocultural scope Crouch grew up in a Pentecostal context that encouraged musical exploration and spiritual improvisation Gospel rooted in KoGIC (Church of God in Christ) tradition, blending Beale Street sounds with evangelical fervor Darden describes Crouch's early music as “jazz, pop... but wait, it is gospel—they're singing about Jesus” Crouch and his sister Sandra composed “Jesus Is the Answer,” considered the first modern praise and worship song The book includes more than 200 interviews from gospel musicians, friends, and collaborators Crouch read the room and followed the Spirit—every performance was improvisational, responsive, alive “Through It All” composed after the heartbreak of a failed relationship; the grief birthed one of his most lasting songs Gospel music as lament and praise: “We hear the pain, we hear the resolve, we hear the lament turning to praise” Crouch's “Take Me Back” begins with Billy Preston on B3 organ—“He hasn't forgotten the church,” says Newby Earth, Wind & Fire, Motown, and classical influences shaped Crouch's orchestration and arrangements Darden: “He wanted the music to sound as good as the words. It was obsessive—but it was for God.” Andre's collaboration with producer/drummer Bill Maxwell led to a string of gospel albums with unmatched quality “We are going to see the King”: the timeless hope of “Soon and Very Soon” rooted in the Black spiritual tradition Crouch's music was not only groundbreaking—it was pastoral, prophetic, and profoundly personal Evangelistic to his dying breath, Crouch witnessed to hospital staff and janitors alike The book's subtitle “Transformative Music and Ministry” is more than academic—it's biographical theology Newby and Darden's friendship mirrors Crouch and Maxwell's cross-cultural collaboration Soon and Very Soon offers readers a chance to read with phone in hand—listening and learning simultaneously “Jesus is the answer” remains a musical and theological call across generations Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In this episode, Jerry tackles a nuanced and often controversial topic: why does chiropractic sometimes sound like a religion? Drawing from his own experience in the profession and his exposure to its philosophical roots, Jerry explores how religious-like language and behavior have persisted in chiropractic for over a century—and whether this helps or harms the profession. This episode doesn't aim to provide all the answers. Instead, it encourages thoughtful reflection on how chiropractic is defined, communicated, and perceived—especially by the public. Topics Covered 1. Two Extremes in Chiropractic Philosophy On one end: Evidence-only chiropractors who view chiropractic purely as musculoskeletal care On the other end: Chiropractors who speak in mystical or spiritual terms, treating chiropractic as a life-transforming philosophy Why both extremes can alienate the average person and cause division within the profession 2. Parallels Between Religion and Chiropractic Origin story of chiropractic (Harvey Lillard, DD and BJ Palmer) has a near-mythical tone Green Books and 33 Principles serve as sacred texts The adjustment functions as a ritual for some practitioners Concepts like innate intelligence resemble spiritual or religious ideas Evangelistic language: “power is on,” “saving lives,” “this is my purpose” Chiropractic's internal denominations: upper cervical groups, technique systems, subluxation-based vs. evidence-based 3. Why Religious Messaging Is Problematic It creates confusion—both within the profession and with the public The message doesn't resonate with the majority of people Research shows only around 12–15% of Americans see a chiropractor regularly Going “all in” on a new-age approach would alienate at least two-thirds of current and potential patients Other medical and health professions avoid spiritualized language and reach far more people 4. Why This Messaging Still Exists It's historically embedded in the profession It gives chiropractors a stronger sense of purpose It appeals to those looking for identity, certainty, and belonging It's often easier to repeat philosophical slogans than to critically evaluate them Chiropractic schools that promote this mindset continue to attract like-minded students Key Takeaways Chiropractic isn't religion—and it doesn't need belief or faith to work The profession should focus on benefits, not belief systems Presenting chiropractic in mystical or exaggerated terms limits its appeal Chiropractors should strive for clarity, consistency, and excellence in communication and care Patients don't need to believe in a philosophy—they just need to know chiropractic helps them feel and function better What Should Chiropractors Do? Be excellent at what you do Avoid shortcuts and weekend certifications just to add services Master your craft, whether it's manual adjustments, soft tissue work, or rehab Communicate clearly and effectively Avoid sounding like a conspiracy theorist or spiritual guru Test your messaging with people outside the profession to make sure it sounds normal Focus on practical benefits Most people care about how chiropractic will help them feel and function better Benefits like improved sleep, reduced pain, better mobility, and less stress resonate more than abstract philosophy Stop repeating what you've heard without questioning it Be thoughtful and intentional with your words Avoid parroting slogans or ideas that don't hold up to scrutiny Services Mentioned Rocket Chiro Websites: Designed to convert visitors into patients Local SEO Services: Focused on improving Google Maps rankings Next Step Program: On-demand coaching for new and stuck chiropractors Free Website and SEO Assessment: No-obligation review with personalized feedback For more info, visit: www.rocketchiro.com Closing Thoughts Jerry makes it clear: he loves chiropractic. It has changed his life. But love for the profession doesn't mean ignoring its problems. If chiropractors want the public to understand and trust what they do, they need to communicate in a way that makes sense to normal people. That means cutting out the spiritual fluff and focusing on what actually helps. If you're ready to grow a chiropractic practice that connects with real people and delivers real results, this episode is for you. Want Help Growing Your Practice?
