Hailing from Charlotte, NC, Raven Pfeiffer moved to Nashville in 2021 where she currently performs, co-writes, and tours with several artists across different genres, most notably with American folk sibling trio, Girl Named Tom. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Raven studied under renowned performer, composer, and producer, Rick Dior (James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles), and earned a B.A. in Music with a concentration in percussion and a B.A. in German Translation. In this conversation, we discuss the importance of committing to gigs that push you to learn new skills, like mastering Ableton, and dive into an emotional discussion about physical health as Raven opens up about her intense health scare in 2017. From battling illness to thriving on stage, her story is a testament to resilience and dedication. We also explore her musical influences, from Jen Ledger of Skillet to jazz greats like Elvin Jones and Dave Weckl, and her experience in landing endorsements, including Doc Sweeney Drums and Paiste Cymbals.

Joy sat down with the women of Skillet to talk about practical and Scriptural ways to fight against darkness and how to help a friend who is struggling with anxiety or depression.
Shawna saw her come in the door of the restaurant. It looked like the young woman was meeting up with a guy for a first date. And Shawna noticed that her zipper was down. Should she tell the stranger, if so how? It's a conversation about being loving and honest in our relationships. Then, we're in an spiritual war with unseen enemies. Ramona, a Perry and Shawna Mornings listener feels it in her family and sees it in the body of Christ. So, we pray! Next Shawna once believed that if she gave her life wholly to Jesus, that's she'd have a smooth life. She's learned otherwise and so has Jen Ledger, the drummer for Skillet. A conversation about God's power being perfected in our weakness. Then, there's sickness, chaos, and pain in our world, and as Jesus people, he calls us into the pain to heal it. Finally, Perry tries to convince Scott to have his first cup of coffee during the morning show instead of just after, to put a little pep in his step :) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"So many place their identity in drumming, music, and songwriting. We often mix up the calling of God with our own dreams and desires. But a healthy reminder is that those who lose their lives, find their lives." “Music can be an idol for people - it can get mixed up because you can feel like your doing it for God.” “I'm trying to be someone that has too much faith, rather than too little.” “How do you do two bands at once? I don't know, but God does!” _______ GET OUR FREE ONLINE TRAINING: Using the Roland SPD-SX in Worship

Jen Ledger was in her late teens when she auditioned for Skillet. She didn't really even want the gig, but when she got it, Jen said, "...maybe 2 years." A decade later, thousands and thousands of fans seeing her play live, she has stepped out into a solo spotlight. What did she play for her audition, does she feel like she missed out on her adolescence, if she wasn't performing, what would she be doing? What does a day off look like? All these questions answered on this week's podcast.
My guest this week is Jen Ledger. On top of being the drummer for Skillet for the last 11 years, she also has a fantastic solo project, Ledger. With just a limited window of time to chat, we covered a lot of topics. We chat breakfast food, UK fast food and oh yeah, her music. This would rate in the top 3 interviews for this podcast... winky face.
This one is like the dollar menu. But with Jen Ledger. It's extra bonus content just for you!
