The unknown, the loss, the homeschooling… But when your world is rocked by grief and uncertainty, what is your responsibility to your children? How do you model strength?

For pop worship band I AM THEY, believing in God’s faithfulness is an active exercise in trust. After years of member transition and internal uncertainty with how or even why to move forward, they are leaning on Hebrews 10:23 – “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who is promised is faithful.” The band – made up of Matt Hein (vocals, guitar), Abbie Parker, (vocals), Brandon Chase (vocals, guitar), Justin Shinn (keys) and Nicole Hickman (drums) – poured the challenges of the past, hope for the future, and a newfound joy for the present into their third album, Faithful God. Show host, John Chisum, met up with IAT’s Abbie Parker and Matt Hein at K-LOVE Studios in Franklin, TN, to discuss the new album and the new season they find themselves in as they weather the storms 2020 has brought to us all. This engaging interview includes how the band moved an entire tour online when the world was shutting down for Covid-19 and their own coping strategies in quarantine. “I’ve loved their music from their first album,” Chisum says. “And I loved their transparency in talking with me about their personal struggles with addiction and relationship meltdowns, including Abbie’s divorce, Matt’s former addiction to pornography, and Justin’s miraculous recovery from a near-lethal addiction to heroin.” IAT discussed welcoming their newest member, Brandon Chase, on vocals and guitar for this album. Chase graduated from Berklee College of Music at age 17, joined Team Blake on The Voice, and was voted ‘Crush of the Week’ by Seventeen Magazine. Matt, Abbie, and John have a warm and often funny conversation that will encourage anyone needing grace for their own struggles and undoubtedly win new fans for the band and their music. You can find I Am They at I AM THEY and on all streaming platforms, as well as on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Discipleship Series #3 A disciple remains focused Some folks who do their duty as they see it – need to consult an eye specialist. – Our focus must be on how God sees things. By Pastor George Lehman Story of the cowboy and the Indian: The cowboy comes across an Indian lying with his ears on a track.  The cowboy steps closer and hears the Indian say, “Wagon, 2 miles off, drawn by 2 horses (black and grey, 4 people on board, man in leather pants with wife and 2 kids. Impressed with the Indian, the cowboys says, “you can hear all that by listening to the earth?”  “No”, said the Indian, “they ran over me 20 minutes ago”. We could tell a lot by listening with our knees to the ground and our ears to heaven. You go in life where you focus. Galatians 5:7 (Msg) - You were running superbly. Note: were, they lost focus – they were still moving but in the wrong direction. Not failure, but low aim, is a crime. Lowell We all fail at some time or another but if our daily AIM (Focus) is not on Christ that is a crime  Colossians 3:1-2 (Amp) - If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  And set your minds and keep them set on what is above [the higher things], not on the things that are on the earth. We talk the things of God We live the things of God We see the things of God We share the things of God Let me ask you: Where is your focus? What are you aiming at? What do you want to achieve? The answers to these questions will determine how serious you are about where you are going and growing in your relationship with Jesus Where you focus your attention, you create strength and momentum. Proverbs 4:25-27 (Amp) - Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you.  *Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and *ordered aright.  Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil. *You go where you focus *Set your minds and keep them set The first law of success… is concentration to bend all the energies to one point[seeking first His Kingdom], and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor to the left.  William Mathews Jesus said Matthew 6:33 “seek first…focus first” Ephesians 1:18 (Msg) - Your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is He is calling you to do; grasp the immensity[ontsaglike] of this glorious way of life He has for Christians. What truly astonishes me is the aimlessness of so many believing, professing Christians. There is really no determination, passion and willingness to press into focus on growth or to change. The 1st rule of focus is this: “Wherever you are, be there.” Be in touch, be in tune, be relevant, be in focus. Don’t be a present absentee. Focus suggests a point at which an image becomes clear. Jesus’ life is the focus point! Like those magazines that had that centre page with lots of lines squiggles and colours but if you looked at it long enough an image would appear. It’s a matter of clear focus. Mark 8:27 (NIV) - Jesus asks, “Who do people say I AM?”  They said, John the Baptist, Elijah, one of the prophets. Then Jesus asked a ‘focus question’. Mark 8:29 (NIV) - “But what about YOU?”  He asked.  “Who do YOU say I AM?” The answer to this question makes you either a true disciple or just a modern day Christian. Christian by name only. Your focus on Jesus will determine not only your values and lifestyle but your eternal destiny as well. A focused disciple knows this and therefore lives, acts and speaks differently. Here what a Genuine Focused disciple is like: God made you different, not indifferent. God made you extra-ordinary, not ordinary. God mad you significant, not insignificant. God made you competent, not incompetent. God made you effective, not defective. God made you efficient, not inefficient. God made you superior, not inferior. God made you responsible, not irresponsible. God made you an original, not a copy. The power of a focused life will prevent you from becoming double-minded.  Focus helps us make the right choices. Being bitter vs being Lukewarmness vs Give up vs get up. – He who falls down 7 gets up 8 Coping with evil vs overcoming Complaining vs Trying vs Peace vs strife. (Blessed are the peacemakers) Determination vs discouragement. Priorities vs aimlessness. More of God vs more of everything else. If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results. Disciples with focus succeed because they know where they are going – It’s as simple as that. 2 Timothy 2:4 (Amp) - No soldier, when in service, gets entangled in the enterprises of civilian life;  his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him. A disciple remains focused.  Dare to be a disciple – there’s more for those who are willing to dare to be a focused disciple. -o0o-

In the midst of all the CoronaVirus news and updates, the lead singer of the band I AM THEY, Matt, has a message of encouragement for you today!

This week I'm talking with my friend Blaine Barcus who is VP of A&R at Provident Label Group where he works with artists Zach Williams, Third Day, Matthew West and more.  We discuss some of the best ways to get your foot in the door to work for a record label, management company or publisher through road managing, merchandise managing and internships.  Also, the importance of having a professional attitude with everything you do. Show notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*I’m the Vice President of A&R for Provident Label Group.*A&R stands for “Artist and Repertoire” which is basically artists and songs.*I equate the roll as kind of an account executive.2 parts to my job: 1) I manage artists signed to our label and it’s my job to be the main creative person that interacts with the artists on behalf of all their content especially on the audio side. It’s my job to the help develop the artist if they are a new artist, find people to co write with them, figure out their sound if they don’t quite know yet. Basically helping them find songs and producers for their projects. It’s a part business, part creative. 2) I’m also a talent scout, going out to shows, listening to demos, looking for artists to potentially sign to our label.*I played drums growing up.*I went to college and majored in communications.*I worked in marketing and sales after college.*My younger brother was at Belmont in Nashville so I followed him to town. He ended up going on tour with big artists and it was through my brother’s network of friends and associates that I was able to plug in.*My first job in the music business was tour manager for a new band in Atlanta called Third Day. Since I had strong business skills from college, their manager hired me.*After about 6 months I transitioned inside their management company and became their day to day manager at Creative Trust which is where I started working with Steven Curtis Chapman overseeing some of his live events along with several other artists.*I did that for about 3 years, then went back on the road and drummed and road managed Mark Shultz for about a year.*Then I got hired at Word Records to do A&R where I worked for 3 years then I transitioned here to Provident for the past 15 years.*If you want to get into road managing, some skills required to be a good road manager are: You have to have organizational skills and juggle a lot of balls at one time. As a road manager you interact with almost every facet of the music industry i.e. artists, concert promoters, booking agents, artist managers, record labels, publicists, transportation companies, production companies (audio, lighting, sound engineers, crew).*You can start by road managing an indie artist.*A great way is to start out as a merchandise manager on a tour because management is always looking people that can go out an be responsible and organized to sell and manage merch on the road.*If it’s a signed artist, I would go to the manager and let them know who you are and what your skill level is and what you’ve done. A lot of times it doesn’t take a lot of past experience to do that job but you have to prove that you have good people skills and that you’re organized and that you’re good with money.*Good people skills because you’re going to interact with the artist, road manager and local sales people at each venue, and the audience.*A merch manager is representing the artist at the table so if you’re not a pleasant person or you have bad people skills, that’s a reflection of the artist and they’re not going to keep you around very long. You’re a sales person for the artist.*If you can be really good at that, usually other people on the road are going to notice your skills and your abilities and I think there are a lot of transferable skills to then grow into an assistant tour manager on a larger tour or a tour manager on a smaller tour and work your way up.*I had never had an A&R position before but people knew my work in the industry and when the position came open, my boss at Creative Trust spoke with the person at Word Records and had a relationship with him and put my name in the hat and recommended me.*There are A&R skills required to be a good manager too and they believed I had the skills to do the job.*A couple of bands I signed at Word Records were Building 429 and Stellar Kart.*When I moved to Provident I got work with Third Day again so it became a full circle moment.*DSP - Digital Service Provider - Spotify, Pandora, etc.*Your social skills, people skills and general disposition is 100% as important as your playing ability.*Bring a level of professionalism to whatever you do or someone will be waiting to take your job.*Most artists I sign come to me through people I know in the industry.*I look for artists that have a heart for ministry and encouraging and loving people. Also I have to determine if this artist has the talent to be successful on a national or worldwide level.*You don’t need a label to have a career as an artist.*A record label is like an engine that can help pour gas on what an artist is already doing.*The artist has to be the driving force and the label can be champions to come around that artist and hopefully take it to the masses.*I have to sign artists that will be financially profitable for this company.*I think if you’re trying to be an artist full time, you have to engaged and involved on social media. At the end of the day however, it’s not a make or break for me to sign an artist based on how many followers they have or don’t have.*I believe if the talent is great, if the songs are great, they’re going to find followers.*If you want to work for a record label, a lot of times a bachelor’s degree of any kind is used to weed out who is serious and who isn’t.*You can look for entry level jobs keeping track of people’s calendars, assisting a marketing director or supporting the head of radio, etc. Those usually come from college internships.*Go on the road as a merch manager and be excellent on the road, then transition to a tour manager or label position.*If you have any skills in video editing or directing, there are opportunities at labels.*Just be great at what you do, do it with excellence.*If you’re an intern, you will get the first shot at moving up to a higher position when they become available.*You don’t have to have a music business degree to work in the music business. You can get a regular business degree and get your music experience outside of the classroom by interning or promoting shows in your area, etc. Music has been a constant in Blaine Barcus’ life for as long as he can remember. He began listening to his parents’ Beatles records before he started kindergarten. At 10 he began taking drums lessons, joined his first rock band at 15. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from the University of Missouri and in 1996 moved to Nashville to pursue his dream of working in the music business. Since then, he has been fortunate to work in almost every facet of the industry as a tour manager, touring drummer, artist manager, and record label executive.Over the span of his music career, Blaine has worked directly on albums that have sold or streamed over 10 million copies. Three of those albums received Grammy Awards with 13 other albums or songs receiving Grammy nominations. He has been fortunate to work with many talented artists including Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman, Zach Williams, Matthew West, Matt Maher, Building 429, I Am They and many others. Currently, Blaine is the Vice President of A&R for the Provident Label Group, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. He is married to his best friend, Beth, with whom he has three children. In his free time he enjoys cardio kickboxing, college football, high school baseball and collecting vintage drums.

What Kind of Music Should We Sing in Church?Music for this episode was provided by “The Passion HiFi” https://soundcloud.com/freehiphopbeatsforyouHave you ever hear Bethel Music? Maybe you have heard the song "Reckless Love." The likelihood is real high that you have at least heard some songs from Bethel. In this episode author Richard P. Moore talks about what kind of music we should and should NOT sing. He specifically deals with Bethel Music and Bethel Church in Redding, CA that spreads problematic theology.Richard mentioned His Book "DIVERGENT THEOLOGY" You can find it on Amazon Here https://amzn.to/2JkzcbERichard also mentioned the book by Ché Ahn “Modern Day Apostles: Operating in Your Apostolic Office and Anointing” https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Day-Apostles-Operating-Apostolic-Anointing-ebook/dp/B07HTLXTF6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=modern+day+apostles&qid=1572466883&sr=8-1Ché Ahn, is the leader of and self proclaimed Apostle of Harvest International and leader of Wagner University the school founded by C. Peter Wagner the founder of the New Apostolic Reformation. In this book, it is clear that Ahn believes in the “office" of apostle, and mentions Bill Johnson as an influential leader in the New Apostolic Reformation and even names him a “General in the movement.Richard mentioned the “New Age book wrapped in Christian Theology” called “The Physics of Heaven” he wrote a book review of it herehttp://richardpmoore.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-physics-of-heaven-book-review.htmlThe reasons we should not sing Bethel music are…If we would not commend the books of a given group, we should not sing the songs of that group. It supports directly or indirectly the ministry and global impact and growth of Bethel and its teaching I wouldn’t recommend the Mormon Bible or Mormon teaching, or Jehovah’s witnesses or the Watchtower magazine or the JW translation of the Bible. I would neither recommend Mormon music or JW music for Christian worship. The Music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is excellent, but I would not recommend it for Christian worship, because it is not Christian. Just like I cannot recommend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for Christian worship because the Mormon Church stands behind it, so also I cannot recommend Bethel Music because Bethel Church and its teaching, leadership and Apostle and Prophet Bill Johnson stand behind it.There is some good and some bad, and why should we make Worship leaders decide what is theologically good and what is theologically bad? For instance “Reckless Love” is a terrible description of God’s love, but there are other seemingly good songs from Bethel. So which ones should we choose? And can we make worship leaders (Usually not theologically trained) to make those difficult decisions?We shouldn’t sing Bethel Music because it could affect its hearers to engage with the teaching and the message that Bethel is communicating to thge world, namely the teaching of the New Apostolic Reformation (“What's the will of God? On earth as it is in heaven. If it exists there, it's supposed to exists here.” -Bill Johnson-)It financially supports Bethel: royalties, record sales, creating interest where others go and buy the music, and helping with overall popularityBethel music is a branch and ministry of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. Their music is wildly popular with Christians and sung often in churches worldwide. To give you a scope of the reach of Bethel music. One of their newer songs called “Reckless Love” is apparently the #1 used song with Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI). If anyone wants to display the words to any Christian song or sing it publicly they must have a CCLI license number and pay for that license yearly. Royalties are then paid to each artist according to the number of uses per year. That means that “Reckless Love” is the most sung, used, copied, or lyrically displayed song in Christian music right now. Conclusion, churches sing the song “Reckless Love” worldwide more than any other song. It also means that Bethel music and Cory Asbury (the writer of the song) are easily making millions.Author of “Divergent Theology,” Richard P. Moore wrote a blog about this song, because it is deeply disturbing to characterize God as “Reckless” in any way. Below is the link to the article. http://richardpmoore.blogspot.com/2018/06/is-gods-love-reckless.htmlFurthermore, 6 of the 12 songs on this CCLI list are associated with Bethel music, worship leaders, or artists, etc. Bethel is making big money on the royalties alone from CCLI and churches that buy licenses. Does the money that churches pay into CCLI support and benable the dubious and aberrant teachings, practices, and theology of Bethel Church and its leadersArius used songs and short tunes to spread his heretical Theology about the nature of Christ- here is an article on how Arius manipulated Doxology to manipulate and change Orthodoxy. https://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2011/06/poisonous-songs-of-arius.html Below are a sample of the songs of Arius, which have been extracted from the writings of St. Athanasius: "And so God Himself, as he really is, is inexpressible to all. He alone has no equal, no one similar ('homoios'), and no one of the same glory. We call Him unbegotten, in contrast to him who by nature is begotten. We praise Him as without beginning, in contrast to him who has a beginning. We worship Him as timeless, in contrast to him who in time has come to exist. He who is without beginning made the Son a beginning of created things. He produced him as a son for Himself, by begetting him. He [the Son] has none of the distinct characteristics of God's own being ('kat' hypostasis') For he is not equal to, nor is he of the same being ('homoousios') as Him." Also Arius wrote a small song that went something like this…“There was a time when He (Jesus) was not.”Because orthodoxy is affected by doxology and doxology is affected by orthodoxyBecause you are overlooking hundreds of other artists and the creativity of your own church creatives in saying we are going to use other music outside our churchChristian Artists that Richard recommends…Worship artists: Matt Papa, Matt Boswell, Shane and Shane, Keith and Kristyn Getty, David Crowder Band, Seeker Servant The Silver pages, Celtic Worship, Keith Green, Aaron Shust, All Sons and Daughters, The Citizens, The Digital Age, Seed Family Worship, Young Oceans, Ascend the Hill, I Am They, Kenosis, Kings Kaleidoscope, The Modern Post, My Epic, One Sonic Society, Page Cxvi, Rend Collective, Rich Mullins, Rivers and Robots, Robbie Seay Band, Ross King, Sovereign Grace Music, Jon Foremen, Ascend The Hill, Bellarive, Indelible Grace Music, Loud Harp,Hip- Hop Artists: Trip Lee, Timothy Brindle, Tedashii, Stephen the Levite, Alert 312, Beautiful Eulogy, Braille, Odd Thomas, Sho Baraka, S.O., JSON, Hazakim, Andy Mineo, KB, Lecrae

It's the hardest experiences that often shape us the most. While they may be excruciating in the moment, when we persevere, these trials lead to greater character and hope. "Scars" by I Am They sings of this very phenomenon. May we be strengthened by our scars, not broken by them. There is a man deeply scarred that you may have missed in the Old Testament. Let's read about him together! On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read the section headings to get your bearings Compare and contrast Read in context Listen to an audio version of the Bible Remember that the people described in the Bible were REAL Follow cross references How even (or especially) the painful parts of our lives often shape who we are today When you're challenged in Scripture don't let it get you down, let it remind you that there is always more (and there is life and exciting revelation in the more) Consulting a chart of kings in your study Bible or elsewhere to get your bearings (here's a good one I found online) A quick overview of how we got to the divided kingdom Considering the life of Hezekiah like a good Cajun girl asking the question, "Who is your mom and dad?" (yes, I know bad grammar, but a good Cajun question all the same) Comparing and contrasting Hezekiah with his father, Ahaz - 2 Kings 18:1-4, 2 Kings 16:1-4 Describing what it means for parents to pass their children through the fire - John Kitto Reading Hezekiah's story remembering that he was a REAL man with deep wounds and scars How God uses our scars to benefit others - 2 Corinthians 1:3-7   Additional Resources Lyrics and Chords - Essential Worship Story Behind the Song "Scars" by I Am They - YouTube Video This Week's Challenge Read Hezekiah's story in context -- start in chapter 16 of 2 Kings and read all the way through chapter 20. If you really get into the story, you could use the BITE of following the cross references (there's a prophet in this story who has his very own book!). As you consider Hezekiah's scars and how it may have shaped him, bring your own scars before the Father. Ask God how He wants to use your scars to make a difference in the generation He has placed YOU in.  

On the eve of the release of I Am They's latest Album Trials and Triumphs the band dropped a series of videos laying bare some of the major trials that they had been going through. From heartbreaking divorces to struggles with drugs and sexual sin the band used these videos and their new song Scars to remind us all that God is with us in the trials and rejoices with us in the Triumphs. Join host David A. Dein as he sits down with Matt Hein, a founding member of I Am They, to talk about the struggles, the hope, and more importantly how our scars are proof that we've been healed on this episode of Going Deep.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwowO6anO7n4cEioRiG2bXt9lvw7urZ4N

We all want freedom. After all, who wants to live in bondage? The irony is that freedom has been purchased for us by Christ and we accept it heartily and then immediately take steps that place ourselves in bondage again. This is what the churches in Galatia were doing in the days of Paul. This week's featured song, "No Longer Slaves" as sung by I Am They, leads us to this letter to the Galatians and Paul's stern correction. I hope we can heed the warning of Paul and walk in the freedom Christ provides. On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include Read and keep on reading Listen to an audio version of Scripture Read/study in context Consider big themes Our inspiration verse linked to the song - Galatians 4:7 C.S. Lewis' essay "On Reading Old Books" Introduction to the book of Galatians - BlueLetterBible.org The Galatians had turned away from the gospel message by adding to it - Galatians 1:6-7 We cannot attain salvation through ANY human effort - Galatians 3:3 Paul's introduction to the idea of bondage and slavery - Galatians 3:22 We are enslaved when we add human effort to the gospel message - Galatians 4:3 Don't trade in slavery to sin for slavery to a Christ-plus "gospel"   Additional Resources Lyrics and chords This Week's Challenge Read the book of Galatians! Experience Paul’s defense of his apostolic authority in chapters one and two. Understand that all believers enjoy complete salvation in Christ alone in chapters three and four. Explore how Paul showed how the gospel of grace leads to true freedom and godly living in chapters five and six. Read and keep on reading, and then take time to examine your own heart. Do you hold any Christ-plus philosophies? Discard them today for the true gospel message…Jesus Christ and Him crucified.   a2e8bhph

There is an eternal hope that we can look forward to. Our salvation begins when we become followers of Christ, but it is a forever kind of salvation. "From the Day" by I Am They is a song that celebrates this salvation, but also leads us to exciting descriptions of what our forever-salvation will look like. I can't wait to share with you what I found in Scripture this week! On this episode I discuss: The story behind the song as told in an article by Kevin Davis on NewReleaseToday.com One of the key verses the band infused into the song - Isaiah 51:11 When we accept the salvation our Redeemer Jesus Christ offers, we will enter the holy city crowned with everlasting joy Comparing Isaiah 51:6 to Revelation 21:1-4 and Isaiah 65:17-19 to see aspects of the new heaven, new earth and new Jerusalem Comparing our current state where death, sorrow, mourning and sadness prevail with our eternal promise of joy, happiness and delight and the ABSENCE of the former The promise of restoration like Eden of old in Isaiah 51:3 and the description of an Eden-like environment in Revelation 22:1-5 God's justice as a light to the nations in Isaiah 51:4 and God's presence as the new source of light in Revelation 21:22-23 How we can enjoy hanging out with God in His Word even if we never have any wonderful "aha" moments of application  Additional Resources Lyrics Story Behind the Song - New Release Today Article This Week's Challenge Read Isaiah 51 and Revelation 21 several times in several translations. Slip into Revelation 22 and explore the promised Eden-like environment and maybe even head over to the beginning of Genesis to compare and contrast. Get really clear on what is coming for those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life...perhaps it will help your current circumstances fade into the background in light of the brilliance of our forever with the Eternal.

Nick Reed :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 14, 2015 Nick Reed takes an unanticipated break from our series on Genesis to talk about discontentment, that uncomfortable place where great things begin. In this message, we are challenged to stop just doing church and change the way we think about church in relation to our everyday lives (and the lives of others in our communities who need to see God's love and the Gospel lived out). Nick's message, based on Acts 2:42-47 and 4:32-37, follows a brief announcement about Creekside Live and a live concert by I Am They coming to Creekside July 18th.
