POPULARITY
Kansas was at the height of their prowess and popularity as a prog rock-leaning band in 1978 when they released their first live album, Two for the Show. Recorded during tours in 1977 and 1978, the double album gives the listener a glimpse into the energy of the band at the time. The songs span the first five studio albums released by the group, from the eponymously named "Kansas" to the highly successful "Point of Know Return."Kansas would have a number of personnel changes over time, but this lineup would be the classic one. Steve Walsh is on keyboards and vocals, Robby Steinhardt is on violins and vocals, Kerry Livgren is on guitars and keyboards, Rich Williams is on guitars, Dave Hope is on bass, and Phil Ehart is on percussion.In addition to the complex metered songs and excellent harmonies, Kansas also features Robby Steinhardt on violin in most of their songs. The unusual use of violin in a rock band would create one of the signature sounds of Kansas. Kansas would go on to have a number of hits in the 80's. In 1982 front man Steve Walsh would leave the group and be replaced by John Elfante. In 1983 both Livgren and Hope would leave the group to form the contemporary Christian band called AD. Later Elfante would also leave the group to join the Contemporary Christian music genre, replaced by a returning Steve Walsh.Bruce presents this live prog rock masterpiece for this week's podcast.. Song for AmericaThis long-form masterpiece from the album of the same name was written by Kerry Livgren. Its 3+ minute instrumental prelude did not make it onto the single release, but was a staple of FM rock stations at the time. Livgren was inspired to write the song after viewing the country from a plane flight.Dust In the WindThe big hit from "Point of Know Return," went to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Livgren originally wrote the music as a guitar exercise, and his wife encouraged him to develop it into a song. The lyrics for this ballad come from the Bible, where the Preacher from Ecclesiastes says "everything he (man) has accomplished is futile - like chasing the wind." This live version concludes with an acoustic guitar outro performed by Rich Williams.Lonely WindThe live version of this song from their debut studio album begins with a piano solo from Kerry Livgren. Steve Walsh penned this melancholy track about loneliness, with the wind personifying that feeling. "Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes blow. Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know. My lonely wind must blow." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Grease by Frankie Valli (from the motion picture "Grease")John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John star in this blockbuster musical set in a 50's high school. 50's icon Frankie Valli performs the title song, written by Barry Gibb. STAFF PICKS:Strange Way by FirefallWayne goes more mellow than normal to start the staff picks. This was the first track and big hit from the third album by Boulder, Colorado's Firefall. It talks about a relationship based on relaying sorrow or self-pity, and not being able to move the current relationship forward. Straight On by HeartRob brings us a well-known song from Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. This was the first single off their album "Dog & Butterfly," and became their third top 20 single, hitting number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lyrics compare love to a game of chance, where you have to take some risks if you want to win.Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen"Get on your bikes and ride!" Lynch features a hit written by Brian May with Freddie Mercury in mind, knowing that Mercury appreciated women of "substantial girth." It was a part of a double A side release with "Bicycle Race," and the songs reference each other in the lyrics. How Much I Feel by AmbrosiaBruce's staff pick is a soft rock hit that went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Front man and co-founder David Pack wrote this song about a long-lost love that the singer will never truly get over. Pack would go on to perform on the Kansas album "Vinyl Confessions" in 1982. NOVELTY TRACK:Y.M.C.A. by the Village People All skate, everyone skate for this fun throwback that tells a young man where he can go when he's short on the dough.

You name it, we talked about it on today's show. Carmen gave us a review of How To Tell The Truth by Preston Perry and she even joined Goodreads! Jules has some catching up to do on the book though. Dave told us the story of Kerry Livgren of Kansas and how he came back to the faith after long conversations with the lead singer of another band told him the Truth. Did you know you could read a 7-page article on berries? Bill did and he shared more information than we could think...

It was great reconnecting with Yochanan Marcellino at the Messiah Conference this past July. Here's a little background on him:Yochanan Marcellino was the son of legendary Motown A&R producer Jerry Marcellino (Michael Jackson, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Lionel Richie & the Commodores and Smokey Robinson). Yochanan Marcellino was also the founder of FM Management, managing such artists as Kerry Livgren of Kansas ("Dust in the Wind"), Cindy Birdsong of The Supremes, Kyle Henderson of The Producers and John Waller, who has featured songs in the Fireproof, Courageous andWar Room motion pictures and soundtracks. Marcellino also founded several successful record labels over his 40-year career, including Kerygma Records/Bright Star Records,City of Peace Media and its affiliates, and most recently, Identical Production Company (The Identical motion picture). Marcellino has released over 70 major music projects worldwide through his record labels and has led key divisions of several other music companies.He is the founder, president, and CEO of City of Peace Media, City of Peace Films, and Galilee of the Nations and has been instrumental in producing much of the music we have come to enjoy within the Messianic Community.

For their latest journey down hard rock and heavy metal's many-faceted highway, the Sadmen's destination was that utopian land of pianos, synthesisers, Moogs and mellotrons. Yes, friends, having done vocalists, singers and bass players, it was time to pay tribute to some of the ivory tinklers who help to make up rock's great tapestry. But if you thought we were going all Tony Banks, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman or Richard Wright on you, think again, fans. Yes, in this episode we do touch on some obvious waypoints, but of Genesis, Purple/Whitesnake, Yes and Floyd there is no sign (or is there?) And though Mark and Rich go fully prog rock (or 'prock' as no-one ever calls it), Steve manages to keep it real with a big slice of late-70s hard rock. With three albums released over a period of just seven years, we start back in 1972 with Uriah Heep who, at this point were shelling albums like peas, yet still managed to trump early successes like Look At Yourself and Salisbury, with the huge cornucopia of Ken Hensley-inspired sound that was Demons And Wizards (their 4th album in just 23 months - and release #5 would follow just 6 short months later). We follow that another fourth release, this time from Kansas, and an album full of material that, staggeringly, wasn't deemed good enough for the band's previous two issues. Yes, folks, the clue is in the name - 1976's Leftoverture (though the 'after the mayor's ball' nature of the track listing didn't stop it becoming widely recognised as Kansas' seminal release) features the sloppy seconds from Song For America and Masque. Enter, then, one Kerry Livgren (among many others) on keyboard duty. And you know we said there wasn't a sign of Deep Purple in this show? Well of course, there is, as Steve rolls up with Ian Gillan, now fronting his own eponymously titled band and their second release, Mr Universe, from 1979. On keyboards, and widely appreciated as the man who steered his honey-larynxed boss off a jazz-fusion march into oblivion, one Colin Towns - a man so mercurial that he counts the theme tune to Angelina Ballerina among his many TV theme credits. So ... it's fair to say an eclectic show lay ahead ...

Something unique happened in the 90s with “Classic Rock” radio where they completely omitted any new contributions musically from the bands. In the 90's, the “Legacy Act” tag hadn't hit yet and bands were still trying to be true to themselves, but still be relevant. This week we play the Lost and Forgotten songs released during the Alternative Rock era from bands that we all know and love. The More You Know...What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Many of the classic 60s-70s bands were still writing and delivering new musical content into the 90s. Go and check out these songs and the albums that they come from! Songs this week include:Cheap Trick – “Yeah Yeah” from Cheap Trick (1997)Procol Harum – “Man With A Mission” from The Prodigal Stranger (1991)Heart – “Oldest Story In The World” from Jupiter's Darling (2004)The Kinks – “It's Alright (Don't Think About It)” from Phobia (1993)RTZ – “Another Time” from Return To Zero (1991)Rainbow – “Wolf To The Moon” from Stranger In Us All (1995)Kansas – “Black Fathom 4” from Freaks Of Nature (1995)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

On today's episode of Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas we are visited by a four time Grammy award winning musician John Elefante. The former lead man of Kansas, a band made famous by songs such as ‘Carry on Wayward Son 'and ‘Dust in the Wind ', has just released his own solo album. Promptly named ‘The Amazing Grace' the album is dedicated to understanding God's faith and is available on Spotify, YouTube, and his website JohnElefante.com. John and Gentry discuss the recent resurgence of vinyl records and which records were their favorites as young kids. John even tells a story how as a young man he sold 50 of his records for just 25 cents. He then describes how he used his award winning voice to become the front man of Kansas despite him stating how his knees were shaking during the audition. John Elefante gives his takes on Steve Walsh, Kerry Livgren, social media, faith, Tennessee Titans, and so much more on today's podcast. Make sure to subscribe and follow for the latest episodes.
His career began in earnest when a young John Elefante auditioned as the new lead singer and keyboardist for Kansas, in 1981. That year, the band was one of the top-grossing concert acts in the world and Elefante had never been in a band apart from his family. Although several of the top vocalists of the day applied for the job (e.g. Sammy Hagar, Doug Pinnick, Jim Stafford), Elefante received the part.Elefante sang the lead vocals and performed keyboards on two Kansas albums. He was also a major songwriting contributor (along with lead guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter Kerry Livgren). On 1982's Vinyl Confessions, he co-wrote and sang the No. 4 Billboard Mainstream Rock hit, "Play the Game Tonight". He also wrote the acoustic-based classic "Chasing Shadows", along with the Top 40 single, "Right Away". The next year, on the following album, Drastic Measures, he wrote the early MTV favorite, "Fight Fire with Fire", which remains the band's highest charting single at No. 3 (Mainstream Rock) as well as a staple of Kansas' live shows to this day. Elefante was also responsible for "Everybody's My Friend," which was released as the second single from the album and reached No. 34 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.Around this time the band began to buckle under the increasing strain of maintaining the consistent radio hits and record company commercial expectations. In addition, contemporary pop music was quickly becoming antithetical to the band's organic, sophisticated aesthetic. A new age of sequenced synthesizers and drum machines confronted Kansas with the near-impossible challenge of maintaining their musical essence and commercial integrity. In 1984, on the retrospective collection The Best of Kansas, Elefante wrote the album's one new track, "Perfect Lover". That same year Elefante, Kerry Livgren, and Dave Hope left Kansas.In 1985, "Young and Innocent" appeared on the soundtrack to St. Elmo's Fire and was credited to "Elefante" as a collaborative effort by brothers John and Dino Elefante.1985–1989Elefante discovered another calling while still with Kansas—record producer. In 1984, he produced Perfect Timing for ground-breaking Southern California group, Sweet Comfort Band. While not a major commercial success, Petra's Back to the Street was a Grammy-nominated, breakthrough, commercial success for both Elefante and the band. He also contributed songwriting, keyboards, background vocals and engineering to the effort.With both John and Dino Elefante as the band's primary producers, Petra's already popular Christian pop/rock niche was given a timely boost. Their accolades include multiple gold albums, 10 consecutive CCM Magazine Reader's Choice Awards, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Hard Rock Cafe, and the only artist to ever have four albums in the SoundScan top-100 Christian chart.In 1987 while producing a various artists album called California Metal, the album's production team of John and Dino Elefante ended up one track short and they decided to add a song written for Kansas called "Wasn't It Love" (originally entitled "What About Love") under the name Mastedon. Regency later requested a full-length album which became Mastedon's debut, It's a Jungle Out There.Closing out the decade, Elefante had produced five major label albums, and performed on 12. Over the next five years, Elefante worked at an almost frenetic pace as one of the most in-demand producers in Nashville. In addition to Petra's further releases, he worked as the producer on 30 other albums. He usually performed on the releases as well, often sharing songwriting credits, as well. Elefante was committed to his role as producer, eschewing other opportunities such as an offer to replace Bobby Kimball as lead singer for Grammy winners, Toto.
Electric artists have been playing acoustically since the beginning of recorded music. Usually, the slower ballads and the prettier mellow songs by rock artists were accompanied by acoustic guitars. This week we are celebrating bands that can re-imagine an up-tempo song with acoustic instruments and still rock! We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air guitars!What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the FORGOTTEN. Mtv started a series in 1989 called “unplugged”, and almost every mainstream relevant act started producing acoustic albums or versions of their songs. This week we listen to some artists that you may have never considered as having acoustic interpretations of their songs.Songs this week include:Sevendust – “Seasons” from Southside Double-Wide Acoustic Live (2004)Thundermother – “Dogs From Hell (acoustic)” from Heat Wave Deluxe Addition (2021)Diamond Head – “Lightning To The Nations” from Acoustic First Cuts EP (2002) Los Kung-Fu Monkeys – “Common Chord (acoustic)” from Common Chord (2020)Clutch – “Basket Of Eggs (acoustic)” from Blast Tyrant Deluxe Addition (2011)Haunt – “On The Stage” from Unplugged Vol. 1 (2021)Suicidal Tendencies – “Get Your Right On!

With the rumors of a "great reset" on the horizon, I am 'stealing' this idea to bring to you in this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, a presentation of what apologetics should look like for the believer and the church in a post Christian culture. Too many times am I hearing that the apologist is about arguing for the faith against other religions when apologetics is much more than that. In this episode I present four prongs for apologetics. Those four prongs are seen in the graphic for this episode: Validate Christian Truth, Save the Lost, Refute Error and Strengthen the Church. WIth the direction that the culture is taking, believers and the church can no longer have the misconception of arguing people into Heaven. Please send me an email on how you can incorporate this understanding in your life and in the life of your church. Listen to our Weekly Podcast on iTunes, AnchorFM, Google Podcasts or Stitcher.

So we're having a Campground Slasher Week to celebrate for some reason! Chris & Kelsey go to summer camp and enjoy the spin cycle! The Classic Film: Madman (1981) "A legendary psychopathic murderer stalks a summer camp” (IMDb.com). In a movie that probably thinks it's more serious than it is, this killer—functionally a combination of Jason and Candyman—probably could have been replaced by Bigfoot and been more interesting. The Modern Film: Fear Street: Part Two - 1978 (2021) "Shadyside, 1978. School's out for summer and the activities at Camp Nightwing are about to begin. But when another Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill, the fun in the sun becomes a gruesome fight for survival” (Netflix). The Fear Street trilogy just gets better as it takes us to 1978 and we learn a bit more about how the curse works and things get a bit more personal.

Leftoverture is the fourth and most commercially successful studio album by Kansas. Formed out of a complex merger between a band called Saratoga and a prog rock outfit called White Clover, Kansas takes its name from the band's state of origin, as their start was in Topeka. The band consisted of Steve Walsh (keyboards, vibraphone, vocals), Kerry Livgren (electric guitar and keyboards), Robby Steinhardt (violin, viola, vocals), Rich Williams (electric and acoustic guitars), Dave Hope (bass), and Phil Ehart (drums).Kansas had achieved some success with their first three albums, but had failed to have a hit single. As the record company began applying pressure to the band to secure a hit, Steve Walsh began to experience writers block. Much of the songwriting for Leftoverture fell to guitarist Kerry Livgren, who wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the album. On the last rehearsal day, he contributed one more song, "Carry On Wayward Son," which would become the groups first hit.The album itself continues a progressive streak established by prior albums through pieces like the multi-part, 8+ minute closing track, "Magnum Opus," but brings a more accessible commercial appeal through songs like "The Wall" and "Carry On Wayward Son." This album and the follow-up "Point of Know Return" would push Kansas into national prominence for arena tours and on the Album-Oriented Rock scene.Creative differences would eventually drive several members to split from the group in the 80's, but the band would reform by 1985 and continues to tour as of 2021. Carry On Wayward SonThe hook-laden opening track features Kerry Livgren on lead vocals. Livgren wrote the track and considered this song a continuation of the song "The Pinnacle" from their previous album. The WallNot released as a single, this introspective track is a deep cut both from a commercial and spiritual standpoint. Livgren was in the process of becoming a Christian at the time, and while not written with an overtly Christian message you sense the searching nature regardless.What's On My MindThis jam features violinist Robby Steinhardt on vocals, and has a theme of a break-up. The singer is recounting the path of the relationship. "Pardon me, my feelings are showing. I'm only saying what's on my mind."Miracles Out of NowhereThis song has Steinhardt and Livgren swapping off on lyrics. There is a mystical, fantasy feel that hearkens to their prog-rock roots. "Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign. All my life, I knew that it was mine. It's always here, it's always there, it's just love and miracles out of nowhere." And you can't go wrong ending the song with a gong! ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television series “Charlie's Angels""Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy." And Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors would grace posters around the US for some time. STAFF PICKS:Smokin' by BostonBruce launches the staff picks with a rocking number never released as a single. Nevertheless, it is well known from Boston's debut album, as is virtually every track on that masterpiece. Brad Delp and Tom Scholz co-wrote this song as part of the "Mothers' Milk" demos from 1973. Rock 'n' Rollers by AngelWayne's tune is off the eponymously named first album by Angel. It is a straightforward rock song about attending a rock concert. Gene Simmons of Kiss discovered the band who dressed all in white. The Angel logo was made as an ambigram, so it looked the same either right side up or upside down. Roxy Roller by Nick Guilder and Time MachineRob's glam rock staff pick is from Nick Guilder, better known for "Hot Child in the City." Four versions of this song came out in 1976, this one and three from three different lead singers of the band Sweeny Todd, one of which was a teenager named Bryan Adams.Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster CultBrian's pick is famous as the song with more cowbell! Buck Dharma received a lot of criticism for this song from people who believed it encouraged suicide. In reality it was about not fearing death - not living because of being anxious about the end of life. The spirit carries on. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Magnum Opus by KansasThis double dipping instrumental is the first movement of an 8-minute epic off Leftoverture. It's subtitle is "Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat." We'll just leave it there.
The Rock and Metal Profs: The History and Philosophy of Rock and Metal
Kansas have always been an enigmatic band -- Are they classic rock or prog rock? Are they Americana or a Christian band? Are they rock or pop? For this 6-piece band success came early, and as we saw so often in the 70s, that success led to tumult, substance abuse, excess and division. For founding members Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope, it meant turning to faith and going their own way for a time. Fortunately for fans, the band "Carried On" and produced a vast catalog of varied, creative and unique music that stands the test of time. Our thanks to listeners for requesting this one!
Pop Goes the Liturgy “it [sic] think it would be awesome to hear rap in [the] worship service, especially if the context calls for it and it communicates the Gospel in a way the community will hear it.” — COMMENTER AT THE LCMS FACEBOOK PAGE “I agree 100%. It would be awesome in a worship service. It's communicating the gospel incarnationally in the cultural context of the community. However, it would need to be in the right context, because some congregations have shallow, exclusive, self-focused worship where their faith is a compartmentalized part of their life outside of the culture to which they belong.” — REPLY TO THE ABOVE COMMENT Modern pop music arguably began with jazz in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Jazz gave way to rock and roll in the 1950s. Rock music evolved quickly into many subgenres over the next few decades. Today's pop music is dominated by rap. But one thing that remains constant is the fact that there are those who desire to bring pop music into the Divine Service. Here in Louisiana, Jazz Masses (and even funerals) are popular among Roman Catholics. Among Lutherans in the Wisconsin, there are Lutheran churches that conduct Polka Services. And who can forget the pinnacle of Boomer Worship: the Chicago Folk Service? Rumor has it that the CIA had been using it to interrogate suspected terrorists. I don't believe it, though. Not even the CIA would violate the Geneva Convention so brashly. Kyrie eleison, indeed! And then there are the Episcopalians leading the way with the Beatles Mass (complete with John Lennon's ode to Communism and Atheism: “Imagine.” The Beatles Mass was championed by an ELCA “pastor” named Megan Rohrer, who has recently made headlines by being the first transgender “bishop.” He was formerly one of the pastors at Ebenezer Lutheran Church (Herchurch) in San Francisco, where God is addressed as the goddess, and where the Lord's Prayer begins “Our Mother.” For fans of U2, Episcopalian priestess Sarah Dylan Breuer has created a U2charist. An Episcopal congregation, St. Mary's - headed up by Mother Kim Culp, lists other services that they have done, including the above-mentioned U2charist and Beatles Mass, a Blue Grass Mass, Coldplay Mass, CASH Mass (featuring Johnny Cash music), and a Stevie Wonder Mass. Of course, it goes without saying - which means I have to say it because there are always readers looking to tilt at straw men - that pop music is not in and of itself evil. Some of it is, some of it isn't. It is what it is: entertainment. And it is entertainment that can indeed be thoughtful and intellectually stimulating. I remember many years ago one of our Gottesdienst editors - who is known for his intensity and excitability - waxing eloquent on how Led Zeppelin's song “No Quarter” reflected themes related to the office of the holy ministry. Some of the early songs by the band Evanescence confessed Christian themes - as the former writer for the band was a Christian. The band Kansas's Kerry Livgren is a Christian, and many of his compositions reflect the faith. He even fooled the unbeliever and dabbling Satanist Ronnie James Dio to record two songs with him in which the Christian confession is hard to miss: “To Live For the King” and “Mask of the Great Deceiver.” The Christian rock band Skillet gets airplay on secular stations as well. The list goes on. There is nothing wrong with entertainment. It is a gift of God that brings families and friends closer together and brings joy to our lives. But our sinful flesh often corrupts things that are good, turning them into idols. Satan's most effective tactics are those which blur the line between good and evil, or perhaps more accurately, introduce the leaven of the common into the loaf of the holy. Holiness means separation. Holiness is a wall that divides the divine from the ordinary. Christian worship is holy according to Scripture - that is, unless we have removed Exodus and Leviticus from the canon. God Himself teaches us about worship, how He would fill out His PIF if He were on the LCMS roster. There is indeed time in our daily lives for singing the glory of God “with trumpet sound… with lute and harp…. with tambourine and dance… with strings and pipe… with sounding cymbals” and “with loud clashing cymbals” - as we sing in Psalm 150. But then there are those times when God comes to us in His most holy presence, such as when Moses found himself at the burning bush, or Isaiah stood in the throne-room of God, the high priest's entry into the Holy of Holies, and our Lord's miraculous presence with us in His body and blood. Can you imagine Moses holding up a lighter and screaming “Freebird!” when God revealed His name to him and told him to remove his sandals? Can you imagine Isaiah freestyling a hip-hop beat when the seraph approached him “having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar”? Can you imagine the high priest cheerfully whistling a hippy folk song while coming into proximity with the Ark of the Covenant on the Day of Atonement? The reality is that we have lost touch with what holiness means. Most people would probably say that it means “being good” - however that is defined, whether by not drinking or dancing or playing cards, or by being appropriately politically-correct, sensitive, and concerned with “social justice.” And how often do we Lutherans take the Sacrament of the Altar for granted? How often do we fail to appreciate that a miracle happens at our altars? Of course, when pastors conduct the liturgy in a pedestrian or even slovenly way, when they behave like stand-up comedians or clowns, and when our churches schedule Sundays to not have the sacrament and then justify it because “it's a lot of work for the volunteers” (I actually heard that as an explanation for deviating from our confessional standard of every-Sunday communion) - who can blame our laity for not considering the Divine Service to be a miracle? And if it isn't a real manifestation of God coming to us, why bother? Or to put it in the words of Flannery O'Connor, “If it's only a symbol, to hell with it.” And when the people lose faith in what the plain Words of Institution teach us, that is when pastors and congregations (and even some in our hierarchy) turn to gimmicks, to rock and roll, rap, dancing, and other entertainments to hold the attention of the parishioners, to gin up emotion, and to “get the butts in the pews” with the kinds of things that draws a crowd in a stadium or concert hall. We must not discount the power of entertainment, especially pop music. I have had several parishioners leave my congregation and join one of our local non-denominational churches that has a pop band and a stage instead of hymns and an altar. These former parishioners outright told me that they like the music better. There were no theological considerations driving them, no crisis of whether or not what we teach is true. One said, “I gotta have a beat to move my feet.” One parishioner - whom I had baptized along with her daughter - said that her daughter enjoyed “fun church” instead of our Divine Service. But in gaining entertainment, what did they give up? In other words, what was the cost of this Sunday morning rock show? These churches do not confess Baptismal regeneration. And for them, the Lord's Supper (so-called) is indeed only a symbol. There is no confession and absolution. The giving up of these means through which God works miraculously in our lives was, to them, a price worth paying for a beat to move one's feet. In our culture, entertainment is king. It is our drug of choice. It is our 24-7 companion. It gives us the dopamine we need to get through life in these gray and latter days. It is as addictive as crack cocaine, but even easier to acquire. Even our news programs are entertainment. Our schools are entertainment. TV screens adorn the walls of our doctor's offices, airports, banks, restaurants, auto-repair shops, and our phones. Why shouldn't our churches likewise have screens on the sanctuary walls? Why shouldn't our church services also be entertainment? If we are entertained 24-7, 365, why should there be a single hour on Sunday morning in which we aren't being entertained? At the heart of the matter, this is a First Commandment issue. As George Thorogood famously posed the question - albeit with bad grammar: “Who do you love?”

PROGDOC #017 MIRACLES OUT OF NOWHERE - KANSAS LEFTOVERTURE 1976 Kansas é uma banda de rock norte-americana dos anos 1970 especializada no estilo progressivo. Dave Hope (baixo), Phil Ehart (bateria), Robby Steinhardt (violino e vocal), Steve Walsh (teclado e vocal) e Rich Williams (guitarra) formaram a banda White Clover em sua cidade natal de Topeka, Kansas. Depois da entrada de Kerry Livgren (teclado e guitarra) o nome da banda foi mudado para Kansas. NOT NOW JOHN - PINK FLOYD THE FINAL CUT - 1983 The Final Cut é o décimo segundo álbum de estúdio da banda britânica de rock Pink Floyd. Lançado em março de 1983. Assim como os anteriores do grupo, é um álbum conceitual e é o último de sua discografia com o integrante Roger Waters, no qual é o compositor e vocalista de todas as músicas. Após o lançamento do álbum a cada membro da banda concentrou-se em trabalhos solo. Nesta época, Roger Waters anunciou sua saída da banda, mas tentou impedir que Gilmour e Nick Mason utilizassem o nome Pink Floyd futuramente. MOTHS - JETHRO TULL HEAVY HORSES - 1978 Heavy Horses é o décimo primeiro álbum de estúdio da banda britânica Jethro Tull, um dos últimos a trazer a mistura de estilos acústico, celta e rock que seria aos poucos deixado de lado em prol da música sintetizada. Juntamente com Songs from the Wood e Stormwatch ele representa a realização de um ideal - trazer para canções de rock assuntos até então intocados; aqui são temas ecológicos e regionais. Heavy Horses foi amplamente aclamado pela crítica, especialmente em suas apresentações ao vivo. THANK YOU - LED ZEPPELIN LED ZEPPELIN II. - 1969 "Thank You" é uma canção lançada em seu segundo álbum de estúdio Led Zeppelin II, em 22 de novembro de 1969. Foi escrita por Jimmy Page e Robert Plant, tendo sido gravado no Morgan Studios, Londres, durante a segunda turnê banda nos Estados Unidos. QUEIMADA - O TERÇO CRIATURAS DA NOITE - 1975 O Terço é uma banda brasileira formada no Rio de Janeiro em 1968 por Jorge Amiden (guitarra), Sérgio Hinds (baixo) e Vinícius Cantuária (bateria). A banda começou tocando rock clássico, mas logo tendeu ao rock progressivo e ao rock rural e pop caracterizando o som e a diversidade musical da banda. Criaturas da Noite é o terceiro álbum da banda brasileira de rock progressivo O Terço, lançado em 1975 Integrantes: Sérgio Hinds - guitarra, viola e vocal Sérgio Magrão - baixo e vocal Luiz Moreno - bateria, percussão e vocal Flávio Venturini - piano, órgão, sintetizador, viola e vocal SHOOT HIGH, AIM LOW - YES BIG GENERATOR - 1987 Big Generator é o décimo segundo álbum de estúdio da banda de rock progressivo Yes. Foi lançado em 1987 pelo selo subsidiário Atco da Atlantic Records (o último álbum de estúdio do Yes pela Atlantic) e foi o seguimento do álbum maciçamente sucessivo 90125. Um álbum trabalhoso de fazer, as sessões de Big Generator se arrastaram por dois anos, em grande parte por diferenças criativas. O guitarrista Trevor Rabin foi com o objetivo de progredir além de 90125, enquanto o vocalista principal Jon Anderson estava começando a ansiar por uma música mais tradicional do Yes. Trevor Horn, que foi um fator importante no sucesso do disco anterior do Yes 90125 fez parte das sessões de gravação no início, mas desistiu depois de alguns meses devido, em grande parte, à sua incapacidade de se dar bem com o tecladista Tony Kaye. Participaram deste álbum: Jon Anderson - vocais principais e vocais de apoio Trevor Rabin - vocais principais e vocais de apoio, violão e guitarra, teclados Tony Kaye - teclados, órgão, piano, sintetizador Chris Squire - Baixo, vocais de apoio Alan White - bateria, percussão
The year 1985 was a watershed one for contemporary Christian music. Classic albums like Beat the System and Unguarded made huge marks on the CCM landscape. That year was also a banner year for lesser-known CCM gems. Among the finest "hidden gems" of 1985 was Art of the State by the band AD. AD was formed when former Kansas guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter Kerry Livgren surrounded himself with a stable band consisting of former Kansas bassist Dave Hope, drummer Dennis Holt, vocalist/keyboardist Michael Gleason, and Warren Ham on vocals and woodwinds. Art of the State was the second album under the AD name and it remains the band's finest hour in their brief career.

Episode 032 - To Move Onward, You Must Look Inward Can we get personal for a moment? We've talked about real estate, our businesses, our taxes and our time management--but we haven’t talked about you. Successful business people must know themselves, be honest about themselves and be able to manage themselves, too. Let’s be honest, we can be our own worst enemy! Understanding our psychology takes an honest and introspective approach. Then, our businesses can move onward and upward to greater things! Agents, stop beating yourselves up! We are ALL playing the same real estate game. Together, we can figure out ways to love ourselves so our clients can love us too! SHOW NOTES 01:05 – HORRIBLE English accents going on and a discussion about Squirt (the soft drink). 02:55 – To move onward, you must look inward. As stated by Yoda and Chewbacca. 03:45 – Song of the Episode: "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas. Kerry Livgren wrote the lyrics and it was an “autobiographical” look at his life. 05:09 – Looking inward to move onward. B’s reality check. This is Cate’s episode. She wants to talk about agent’s mental health. Cate made me do it. She is a psych major. Christian: B’s deft touch is stunning, sensitivity, and love in his words. 06:20 – Cate has creative reins on this. “Between Your Lines”. Cate will be much better at this topic than B. 07:10 – This episode is more of the philosophical piece that is also very important. Be prepared to handle things that are thrown our way. Business can be mentally draining. 07:50 – Cate: before B & Cate met, B would work a 90-hour week. 08:35 – Cate: work within five categories: family & friends, career, financial health, physical health, and mental/emotional health. Balance in all is vital to success. 09:50 – Many agents miss out. This industry can drain you, drag you down, make you into a “not nice” person. What are you sacrificing? Family, friends, mental health?? A-hole Brian time. Not a good guy. Working and making money was all that mattered. Yuck!! 12:00 – Cate’s Side Note Tangent: boats. Cate can interrupt her own show with her own tangent. Different types of motors: outboard, inboard, I/O (inboard/outboard), jet drive, and sail boats. B & Cate grew up with different types and the debate ensues. Don’t forget the fan boat. 16:26 – Scale each item from 1to 10. What does a 10 look like for you? Go through each category and visualize what would be ideal for you. Then analyze where you are at? 18:00 – A 10 is not perfect to everyone, but what is a 10 look like for you? 18:45 – Facebook and Pinterest tries to “show” you what a 10 is, but the reality is much different. That is not realistic. What is the 10 for you? Not the movie version. 20:10 – Christian: it is hard to assign a number because people want that good number. 20:20 – Cate: life coach; introspective learning; go through each category. Very challenging but also rewarding. Clearer picture and live your life more intentionally. 21:20 – You are not going to hit that 10 every day. Life is a journey, not an overnight change, and is filled with ups and downs. Get a life coach. 21:52 – Cate: a trained therapist can help. Accountability partner (not trained, but a respected friend or colleague) can help too. Many resources online. 22:18 – Take an individual vacation. Turn off phone and email. Take time for yourself to clear your head. B rides his Harley Davidson to clear his head. 23:20 – Take time so your natural thoughts can come out. Whatever it takes, you need to take care of you! 23:52 – Clients will benefit as you are working out of desperation and lack of focus. Create raving fans that see you are focused and living a 10, not the 4. 24:34 – Live your life intentionally. Focus on the areas that you want to work on. If exercise is not it, that’s fine. It is YOUR life. Choose your 10’s and what is important. B’s 10 is a pizza with bacon, breadsticks and a drink. 25:32 – Quote of the Episode: “If you don’t take care of yourself, it won’t matter if you take care of your clients” -B; You can be the best agent in the world, but if you aren’t happy with your life, you become a “shell” of a person. Fill your heart with all the things that matter to you. Clients will see it and will enjoy the experience even more. 26:18 – Closing: Look at the 5 categories of your life (family & friends, career, financial, physical, and mental health); take an introspective look at each; rank them from 1 to 10; what does a 10 look like to YOU?; This is a journey, get help. Help yourself agents, YOU are worth it!! We are here for you too. Reach out if you'd like to talk!

REFLECTION QUOTES “To be always relevant, you have to say things which are eternal.” ~Simone Weil (1909-1943), French philosopher and political activist; Albert Camus described her as “the only great spirit of our times” “Today is yesterday's tomorrow and tomorrow's yesterday.” ~Alfred Lloyd Tennyson (1809-1892), British poet “If what we do now is to make no difference in the end, then all the seriousness of life is done a way with.” ~Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), Austrian-British philosopher “…all your money won't another minute buy.” ~Kerry Livgren of the musical group Kansas “Wisdom is a matter of the quality of what we know, not the quantity.” “Only truth and eternity give relevance to ‘relevance.' To think or do anything simply ‘because it is relevant' will always prove to be irrational, dangerous, and a sure road to burnout. It may taste like an unpleasant medicine to our practical modern thinking, but in facts it's a powerful antidote to perpetual folly: There is an irrelevance to the pursuit of relevance just as there is a relevance to the practice of irrelevance.” ~Os Guinness, English author and social critic “Thankfully, God has given us His self-revelation in the Bible. And anyone who takes the Bible seriously soon discovers that the issue is not to begin with us as human beings. The moment you begin with us you're starting in the wrong place. You need to begin with God.” ~Conrad Mbewe, Zambian pastor and author in his book Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically “The problem about the liquidity of modern times is that we can't actually stay put, whether we travel or not, whether we try to the best of our ability to stick to what we have, to our place of life, to our community, to our kind of job, to our skills: it all moves anyway… Every success is until further notice. Every achievement is a temporary one, and not a guarantee that it will last for ever, not a guarantee that in the future you will be as successful as you have been so far. You have to constantly brace yourself for a new kind of challenge, unexperienced so far, unfamiliar, and you have to forget old habits as quickly as you learned the new ones.” ~Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) Polish-born sociologist and philosopher in his book Liquid Modernity “Futurism is “the major mental disease of our time.” ~George Orwell (1903-1950), English novelist and critic SERMON PASSAGE James 4:13-17 James 4 (ESV) 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. James 5 (ESV) 1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you. James 1 (ESV) 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. 12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 1 John 2 (NASB) 15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
When you hear the word "cult" many people think of Jonestown or the Branch Davidians. While there are different ways of looking at cults, from both the sociological and theological, the church is showing more and more signs of theological error coming in, ranging from New Age ideologies, historically heretical ideas. But a couple of the more popular cults are the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses. While they use very similar terminologies to the Christian church, the meanings of those terms are foreign to historical Christian teaching. On The Real Issue Podcast, Rob takes a look at these two cults from a theological angle using the mathematical operations (of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to give you, the listener, an easy way of recognizing what the important differences are between historical Christian teaching and false teaching. Rob also mentions two great resource ministries for you to go to for further research: Watchman Fellowship and The Apologetics Index.

What makes Christianity different from other religions? It is that the Founder of the Christian faith rose from the dead. As you celebrate this Easter season, Rob shares three formidable truths that give validity to Jesus' resurrection. His resurrection was foretold in the Old Testament, prophesied by Jesus himself, and those who claimed to be eyewitnesses were willing to die for believing in a resurrected Christ. In the second part, he shares some ways you can remember about the truth of the resurrection listing and explaining a few of the 7 E's for the Resurrection (Early Testimony, Eyewitness Testimony, Embarrassing Testimony, Excruciating Testimony, Extra-biblical Testimony, Enemy Attestation, and External Sources). Rob does not address all them, but you will hear about a lot of them throughout the show This is a show you may want to share with your skeptical friend.

Muslims claim that Jesus never died on a cross using just one verse of the Qur'an. Skeptics want to throw down objections that Jesus never died or that He swooned on the cross. Aside of the fact that no one walks out of a tomb after being dead, we have to look at who Jesus is, and what He went through to pay the debt that sinners owe a holy God. On The Real Issue Podcast, Rob presents eight evidences that show that Jesus really died and gives some of the details that coincide with the gospel accounts. On the show today, Rob mentions the Journal of American Medicine Association article, published in 1986 by Dr. William D. Edwards, "On the Physical Death of Jesus." You can find the link to the abstract here. For other treatments of this subject, you can find a good article by Dr. David Teresaka on "The Medical Aspects of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ" But if Jesus did die, and there is evidence to prove it, what was the big deal? What makes. the crucifixion of Jesus so important especially to those who believe and to those yet to believe?

If you were asked, "Who is Jesus?" how would you answer the question? Would you just leave it that He is your Savior, or could you give a reason as to why Jesus is the Savior of mankind? Jesus has received a lot of attention as a good teacher or just a good man. For Christians Jesus of Nazareth is the one and only Savior for the sins of man. The cults and the world religions have their own view. On The Real Issue Podcast, Rob gives several reasons why Jesus is the only true Savior, and explains those attributes that qualify Jesus to fit that role. This show is not one that fails the blood test when it comes to how the gospel message is centered on Jesus. Opening music from Kerry Livgren's "One of Several Possible Musiks," "Ancient Wing."

The question of God's existence is the most fundamental question still hotly debated by those on both sides of the belief line. On The Real Issue Podcast Rob presents the starting points for tackling this question and then moves into three fundamental arguments for the existence of God: the cosmological argument (creation), the argument from design, and the argument from absolute morality. In the final moments Rob shows how science does not prove God's non-existence by showing five things that science cannot prove.

With all the talk about social justice in the legal, political and religious circles, Rob revisits this topic on "social justice" and how it differs from biblical justice and a right understanding of the gospel. Does justice have a biblical ground? Yes. Does the "social justice" movement center itself on a biblical worldview? No. In fact it rooted in a pseudo egalitarian form of socialism that creates a vicious circle of oppression where there is no short of amount of people being oppressed. What is the biblical view of social justice according to God's Word? Get ready for a heavy show as Rob as seeks to crack open the trojan horse of the culture's idea of social justice creeping into the church. Rob appeals to two sources in this show. One is R.

The phrase in Isaiah 53, "by His stripes we are healed" is often misused and misapplied by those under the deception of the Word Faith/Prosperity Gospel, as well as well meaning believers.

On this episode of The Real Issue Podcast, Rob answers these questions and addresses the physical healing question pertaining to this verse with a sound hermeneutical answer.

Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday and many Christians find themselves seeking ways to show that life begins at the point of conception. The battle lines were drawn in the sand with the famous Roe v Wade, making abortion legal. But what is legal does not mean that it is lawful. What does science say about life in the womb at conception (embryology)? What do the ethical challenges tells us about the "morning after worldview" when the decision is made to terminate a pregnancy? Many of us know what the Bible says about how God sees life from the point of conception. In this episode of The Real issue Podcast, Rob puts forth his defense of the sanctity of human life, beginning at the point of conception, using science, ethical questions, and Scripture (in that order). He also points to the forgiveness of Christ for those who have been through the trauma of going through a terminated pregnancy.

What we have a lack of interest in is what we choose to ignore. Why is the church ignoring apologetics when there are credible reasons for its validity in the ministry of the church? With the fallout of our young people due to a rising secular culture, Rob share in this show why we should not ignore apologetics, and provides some insights on how to get involved now in this necessary discipline for contemporary discipleship.

REFLECTION QUOTES “…he was also a man of large public spirit whom doing good to his fellow man was a pleasure—one almost might say a passion…” ~Said of Benjamin Lee Guinness (1795-1868), Guinness & Company “In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation… even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine.” ~The Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!' As the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again. The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.” ~Proverbs 26:13-16 “The real difference between men is energy. A strong will, a settled purpose, and invincible determination, can accomplish almost anything; and in this lies the distinction between great men and little men.” ~Thomas Fuller (1608-1661), English preacher, historian, and author “The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is, that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.” ~Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), American clergyman “[Philip Seymour Hoffman] hated what he was good at. It tormented him. I think he wanted to be so good, but it was such a difficult place…to get to. It had to all come from the inside.” ~Anton Corbijn, Dutch photographer and film director, on the lead actor of his latest film “Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.” ~Kerry Livgren in “Dust in the Wind” (1977) SERMON PASSAGE Genesis 1:26-28, 31 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 2:1-2:3, 5, 7-8, 15-17 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. 2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. 5 Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground…. 7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 8 The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden…. 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. 16 The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Genesis 3:16-19, 23-24 16 To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children….” 17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you…have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. 18 “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. Colossians 3:23-24 23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. 1 Corinthians 15:58 58 So my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Do not let anything move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your toil in the Lord is never wasted.
