Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin Durant

The worship services at Hillsong NYC could have been confused for concerts complete with celebrity guests like Justin Bieber, Kevin Durant, and Vanessa Hudgens. The New York branch of the Australian church even had its own rock star, Pastor Carl Lentz. In 2020, however, like most rock stars, temptation had become too much for Lentz. The pastor was dismissed from the megachurch for “moral failures.” Lentz later admitted to extra-marital affairs. Earlier this year, Lentz joined Mike Todd's Tulsa megachurch, Transformation, in an advisory role. Now Lentz can be seen as part of the FX documentary “The Secrets of Hillsong,” which explores the church's history of scandals. In a special edition of Tennessee Harmony, Anthony and Virgil Walker join Jason to discuss the show. What role does Hillsong's music play in the church's influence on culture? Was Carl Lentz treated fairly by the church? Does his past make him a more sympathetic figure? We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) kick things off with a deep dive into the Phoenix Suns' embarrassing season-ending loss to Nikola Jokic the Denver Nuggets. The Suns have been blown off the floor in consecutive season-clinching losses so it's safe to assume that big changes are coming to Phoenix this offseason. Sticking in Phoenix, now that a Kevin Durant-led has flamed out of the playoffs yet again, is it fair to start questioning where exactly he ranks among the all-time greats in NBA history? Switching gears to the Eastern Conference, Jayson Tatum overcame a brutal first three quarters and went supernova in the fourth to help the Boston Celtics force a Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. Tatum was clutch when it mattered – unlike his counterpart James Harden. Finally, the guys close the show by discussing the New York Jets' season-long outlook now the full NFL schedule has been released. Is J-Mac still confident that the Jets are an 11-win team?
