Podcast appearances and mentions of Larry Norman

Ein Vortrag von Larry Norman auf der Hauptkonferenz 2025 in Hamburg.

A diferencia de algunos evangelistas, Jesús no dijo a sus seguidores que no tendrían problemas. Todo lo contrario. Les advirtió en el capítulo 16 de la Buena Noticia según Juan que tendrían aflicción, serían perseguidos e incluso muertos hasta por personas religiosas, que creerían que hacían así, un servicio a Dios. Hasta finales del siglo pasado muchos pensaban que el principal obstáculo al cristianismo, era el comunismo. El hijo de un pastor bautista llamado Steve Taylor fue uno de esos evangélicos que viajó al Este de Europa en una gira misionera como ayudante al director de los Continental Singers, para los que empezó a escribir canciones, llegando a hacer un gira por Polonia, patrocinada por el sindicato católico Solidaridad. Cuando a principios de los 80 se convierte en el "énfant terrible" de la música cristiana contemporánea con sus críticas al racismo y los "tele-evangelistas", escribe su experiencia del establecimiento de la ley marcial en Polonia en 1981, "Sobre mi cuerpo muerto" (Over My Dead Body 1984). Un año antes, Randy Stonehill hace su popular disco "Equator" con el líder de Daniel Amos, Terry Scott Taylor. En él había también una canción sobre la Iglesia perseguida en "China" (1983). Aunque no había que ir tan lejos para descubrir la realidad que se vivía en Estados Unidos, detrás de "La gran novela americana" (The Great American Novel). Larry Norman la desenmascaró en 1972 con una de sus canciones más críticas a la política norteamericana, que grabó con medios muy modestos y se atrevió a cantar incluso a Jimmy Carter en la Casa Blanca. Las paradojas de aquella Revolución por Jesús hacían que muchos de aquellos primeros discos fueran producidos por un músico de la Jesus People que fue a la cárcel por ayudar a los Caballeros Blancos del Ku Klux Klan, Jonathan David Brown, No debemos olvidar que la persecución de la que habla Jesús es por el Evangelio, no por ninguna otra ideología o delito que uno pueda cometer siendo seguidor de Jesús. "Silencio" no es una historia sobre el silencio de Dios, decía el autor del libro sobre el que se basa la película de Martin Scorsese en 2016. Endô era un escritor católico japonés que hizo esta novela en 1966 sobre "cómo Dios habla en el silencio y el trauma". Trata sobre la brutal persecución de los jesuitas en el Japón de mediados del siglo XVII por una religión que en Occidente ahora se ve como muy tolerante, el budismo. Esta tampoco es una historia sólo para católicos. Endô mismo dice en el apéndice de la segunda edición del libro, que su "fe está más cerca de los cristianos protestantes", ya que para él, es algo personal, entre Dios y él, que sólo explica la Gracia. Escuchamos algunos diálogos del principio de la película (¡nunca desvelamos el final!), que José de Segovia comenta con la banda sonora original de Kathryn & Kim Allen Kluge. Jesús dice a sus amigos en este capítulo 16 del Evangelio según Juan que, aunque Él se va, les deja el Espíritu Santo. Van Morrison conoció la Biblia desde niño en una Asamblea de Hermanos de la calle donde vivía en Belfast. Siempre ha tenido inquietudes espirituales, pero en los años 80 tienen un marcado carácter cristiano. Su disco preferido (Common One 1980) tiene una canción al Espíritu (Spirit). Sobre quien no había ninguna duda de su fe cristiana era el galés Mike Peters, que con The Alarm hizo himnos como "Camina siempre a mi lado" (Walk Forever By My Side 1985), que se canta todavía en muchas iglesias. Tras tres décadas luchando con el cáncer, partió con su Señor el 29 de abril de 2025.

¿Quién no desea tener amigos? Hay algunos que tenemos de paso por el colegio o la secundaria, el trabajo o la universidad, pero hay otros que permanecen toda la vida. Hay muchos valores hoy en crisis, pero si hay uno que renace con cada generación es el de la amistad, para muchos, tan importante o más que la familia. ¿Qué sería tener como amigo al Señor del universo, el Dios encarnado? De eso habla Jesús en este capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan (15:14). Meditamos hoy sobre ello. La cabecera está esta vez a cargo de la canadiense Diana Krall y la hija del cantante que popularizó el tema que da título al programa, "Ruta 66", Natalie Cole. Lo interpretan juntas en un concierto que escuchamos de 2002. Tras ella oímos una sorprendente balada de los Rolling Stones en 1981, "Esperando a un amigo" (Waiting On A Friend), a la que sigue el clásico de Carole King y James Taylor en 1971, "Tienes un amigo" (You´ve Got A Friend), que escuchamos esta vez cantado por ella en vivo en Los Ángeles en 1994. Hasta Taylor Swift reconoce en 2019 que "Es agradable tener un amigo" (It´s Nice To Have A Friend). La película con la que hablamos de la amistad humana y divina, es para muchos la mejor historia de redención del cine contemporáneo. La producción de 1994 que se conoce en España como "Cadena perpetua", "Sueño de fuga" en Hispanoamérica", o "Sueños" o "Escape a la libertad" en Argentina, se llama en realidad como la novela de Stephen King en que se basa esta historia, "La redención de Shawshank" (1982). Dirigida por Frank Darabont, está protagonizada por TIm Robbins y Morgan Freeman. Su lectura cristiana ha dado lugar a todo un libro del más importante crítico británico, Mark Kermode. Consideramos su interpretación con algunos diálogos de la versión doblada y la banda sonora original de Thomas Newman. "Viejos amigos" (Old Friends) es una pequeña joya del dúo judío de Nueva York que formaron Simon y Garfunkel. Apareció en 1968 en el reverso del disco sencillo que llevaba la canción de la película "El Graduado" (Mrs. Robinson). Como los discípulos de Jesús, cuando más apreciamos el valor de una amistad es ante la perspectiva de su partida. El cantautor argentino afincado en España, Alberto Cortez, escribió una de sus más emocionantes composiciones a la muerte de su padre en 1966, "Cuando un amigo se va". El problema es que en este mundo, hasta los mejores amigos nos fallan, como descubrió el músico cristiano Randy Stonehill, cuando se sintió traicionado por su amigo Larry Norman, que le sacó de la droga y le introdujo, tanto en la música como en la fe, pero se acabó quedando con su esposa, tras su divorcio y nuevo matrimonio. En la canción que apareció en su álbum de 1983, "Hasta el mejor de los amigos" (Even The Best Of Friends), descubre que sólo hay un Amigo que nunca nos falla, Cristo Jesús.

¿Quién no se ha sentido huérfano en esta vida, solo e incomprendido, incluso en su propia familia? Cuando Jesús le dice a sus amigos que les deja en el capítulo 14 de la Buena Noticia según Juan, se quedan consternados porque han encontrado en Él a Dios como su verdadero Padre. El Señor les promete, sin embargo, que no les dejará huérfanos (v. 18). En esta parada por nuestra Ruta por los 66 libros de la Biblia tenemos esta vez como sintonía, la versión de "Ruta 66" que hizo un cantante en Inglaterra de raíces afroamericanas y nativas indias Creek, Joe Lee Wilson, que vivió en Europa desde 1977 hasta su muerte en Brighton en 2011. Felipe pide a Jesús, ver al Padre (v. 8), pero el Señor se asombra de que tanto tiempo haya estado con Él y todavía no le conozca (9). La canción de la cantautora británica Sophia Dady, nieta de un vicario anglicano y un padre escultor, que dirigió una funeraria durante 18 años, dice que habla de cuando uno siente una "emoción por Dios u otra persona, que no puede expresar en palabras, pero que tiene un gran poder" (Reach You 2017). Tina Boonstra es otra cantautora, hija de misioneros en Londres, cuya música nació en la iglesia, pero ha llegado ahora al gran público con ecos de artistas británicas como Tori Amos, Kate Bush o P. J. Harvey, pero con la fe por la que dice: "Ahora creo que te veo" (I Think I See You Now 2018). La película española "El otro barrio" (2000) es obra de un director español de extraordinaria sensibilidad, Salvador García Ruiz. Es la adaptación de la primera novela de Elvira Lindo dirigida a un público adulto, todo un cuadro de orfandad que lleva a una profunda reflexión sobre la soledad, el incomprensible azar y un ayer que permanece todavía vivo. Se desarrolla en el madrileño barrio de Vallecas donde un joven abogado tiene que defender a un adolescente acusado de asesinato, cuyas vidas se unen por la experiencia mutua de una orfandad que les encierra en sí mismos, pero les atrae con unos lazos que llevan a un pasado oculto. José de Segovia la comenta con la maravillosa música que hizo para la banda sonora original, el francés Pascal Gaigne, afincado en el País Vasco. Jesús dice que el que le ama, será amado por el Padre, guardará su Palabra y ambos vivirán en su interior por la promesa del Espíritu Santo (vv. 21-24). Larry Norman habla de la sorpresa de ese amor en la canción que hizo con su hermano Charlie en 1984 como The Young Lions (I Found Love). "El quinto Beatle", Billy Preston, buscaba la paz que el mundo no podía darle (v. 27) en su lucha con la droga y el sexo, por la consolación del Espíritu de verdad (vv. 16-17) del que habla en "I´ve Got The Spirit". Lo grabó en un rancho de Malbu, justo antes de ir de gira con los Rolling Stones en 1976, pero ya sin la producción de George Harrison.

 My Impressions of Larry Norman & the start of new Christian music

Se dice que los que hacemos habla más fuerte que todas nuestras palabras. No siempre es cierto, pero hay ocasiones en que lo único que podemos decir es con nuestros actos. Jesús dice que hay algo en lo que se reconocerá a sus discípulos, que es en su amor, los unos por los otros (Juan 13:35). Este capítulo comienza con el ejemplo de humillación del Señor lavando los píes a sus siervos (vv. 1-20). El que fuera guitarrista de Bob Dylan en la gira que hizo hace medio siglo, T-Bone Burnett, se ha convertido en uno de las figuras más importantes de Nashville, como productor y autor de bandas sonoras, pero continua haciendo canciones como esta de su último álbum, que que refleja su fe en el Rey Siervo, "Él descendió" (He Came Down 2024). Marcus Mumford es hijo de los responsables de la Comunidad de la Viña durante más de veinte años en Gran Bretaña e Irlanda. Pasó de dirigir la música de alabanza a ser una estrella de "rock" y casarse con una de las más populares actrices inglesas, Carey Mulligan, que conoció en un campamento evangélico. Ahora no se llama cristiano, pero hace todavía canciones que parecen oraciones, como "Bajo mis píes" (Below My Feet 2012): "Qué mire en lo que pueda servir y aprender con mis manos / cuando Jesús me diga que todo está bien". La entrega de Jesús contrasta con la traición de Judas (vv. 21-30). El líder del grupo The Verve, Richard Ashcroft, llevaba mucho tiempo flirteando con el cristianismo hasta que hizo pública su fe, al emprender su carrera en solitario. En la canción que hizo con el grupo sobre "Judas" en 2008, lucha con los sentimientos que nos llevan a negar a quien más queremos. Martin Scorsese ha hecho el año pasado un documental sobre las impresionantes películas de dos directores ingleses en los años 40 y 50, Powell y Pressburger. Una de las más sorprendentes es "Narciso negro" (1947), la historia de una comunidad de monjas anglicanas (sí, ¡también hay monjas anglicanas!), que bajo la dirección del personaje que interpreta Deborah Kerr, forman un convento en los Himalayas, donde tenía un rajá indio, el palacio de su harén. Viven la tensión entre un cínico inglés y un joven general fascinado por el cristianismo, que encarna el actor indio Sabu. José de Segovia comenta algunas escenas de la versión doblada con la música de fondo de la banda sonora original de Brian Easdale. Suena también la de Gregoire Hertzel para la película francesa sobre una monjas polacas embarazadas, al ser violadas por las tropas rusas, "Las inocentes" (2016). así como la de Anne Dudley para el film sobre la monja mística "Benedetta" (2021) del holandés Paul Verhoeven, criado por su madre en una iglesia pentecostal. "Sin amor, no eres nada", dice Larry Norman en su crítica al "Justo Rockero" (Righteous Rocker) en el primer álbum de la maravillosa trilogía que comenzó a grabar en Londres en 1972, "Sólo de visita en este planeta" (Only Visiting This Planet), calificado por la Biblioteca Nacional del Congreso estadounidense como "la obra clave de la historia del rock cristiano". Acabamos el programa con la invitación a unirse a la "Caravana del amor" (Caravan Of Love) de los hermanos Isley en 1985 y su pregunta de si "estás preparado", porque "Él viene".

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST!Join PatreonGet some merch~~~~FEATURED SONGNICK – “Higher Ground Again” (from the unreleased demo, BLACK-EYED SUSAN) Christian music has a loooooooooooooong history, likely as old as the religion itself. But it's only been in the last 70 years or so that Christian music entered pop culture. Since then, it's been a wildly successful sect of popular music that encompasses a growing number of subgenres, from rock to country to hip hop and beyond.I kneel down and get serious about this often precisely understood form of music, starting with the ancient prehistory, its birthing into the modern music world, its growth and expansion, and even reveal some artists you had no idea were doing Christian music. And I decide once and for all if it's any good.Are you a fan of Christian music? If so, what kind and which artists? Do you like when popular music gets religious? Or would you rather those worlds remain separate? Discuss dammit!BONUS MxTRA VIDEO: Mainstream artists who were actually Christian~~~*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"*mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper"

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS, YES OR NO? The Montyman and Roger discuss the significance of New Year's resolutions, reflecting on personal experiences and community responses. They explore the importance of emotional sobriety, the impact of mentorship in recovery, and the power of mindset in achieving personal goals. The conversation emphasizes living one day at a time and the role of faith in guiding decisions, ultimately reframing the concept of resolutions into a more meaningful commitment to personal growth and change. In this conversation, Monty and Roger discuss the significance of intentionality in making resolutions, the current political climate, the importance of letting go of the need to be right, and how to approach personal growth in 2025. They emphasize the need for follow-through in resolutions and the power of surrendering to a higher purpose, encouraging listeners to take actionable steps towards positive change.

A lo largo de la vida recibimos muchas invitaciones, algunas con alegría, como la boda de un buen amigo, una cena, un concierto, o un café. Otras, sin embargo, uno se pregunta si no hay forma de librarse de ellas. La invitación de Jesús en el séptimo capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan (vv. 37-39), no se parece a ninguna otra. La sintonía de Ruta 66, esta vez está a cargo de un pianista, organista y cantante popular en la América de los años 50 y 60, el músico afroamericano Earl Grant. En esa última década comenzó a actuar también Dionne Warwick con un grupo de gospel, The Gospelaires, convertido luego en estudio en The Sweet Inspirations. Su escepticismo ante las falsas promesas (Promises, Promises) con las palabras y la música de Burt Bacharach y Hal David, se convirtió en todo un himno, el mítico año 68. Es la constatación de las "Palabras vacías" (Empty Words) que hace el guitarrista y fundador de Deep Purple, Ritchie Blackmore, junto a su compañera Candice Night en 2008 con el amable sonido renacentista de folk que tanto frecuentaban los grupos que iniciaron el "rock duro" en los años 70. "¿Qué es lo que realmente sabes? (O Que Voce Quer Saber De Verdade) se pregunta la carioca Marisa Monte en 2011, tras su éxito con los Tribalistas. La película "La invitación" (2015) no se debe confundir con el reciente horror del mismo título del año 22. La interesante directora Karyn Kusama, hija de un psiquiatra japonés, cuenta el inquietante reencuentro de un matrimonio divorciado tras la muerte de su hijo. El "hipster" angelino, interpretado por Logan Marshall-Green, es convocado por su ex, junto a un grupo de amigos, para darles testimonio de su conversión en lo que parece un ambiente sectario. Este prodigioso thriller psicológico te muestra la terrible diferencia entre la conversión psicológica y la experiencia liberadora de la que habla Jesús en este texto. José de Segovia comenta algunas escenas con la banda sonora de Theodore Sapiro para esta y otras películas. La canción de Larry Norman, "¡Olvida tu hexagrama!" (Forget Your Hexagram 1969) rechaza el esoterismo de la época en que publicó este disco para Capitol, cuyo eco llega hasta el día de hoy. Hay mucho de "postureo" también en el cristianismo, como muestra la crítica a la alegría superficial de la "música de alabanza contemporánea" en la "Mascarada a la luz de la vidriera de la iglesia" (Stained Glass Masquerade 2005) que revela un grupo de Florida, Casting Crowns, cuyas canciones recuerdan también ese mismo tipo de música que no suele frecuentar nuestro programa. Si Jesús hablaba en este pasaje de la experiencia del Espíritu que viene de Él, la canción de los escoceses Waterboys (Spirit) es bastante más ambigua. Escuchamos la versión en vivo que hizo Mike Scott con su grupo en Dublín en 1986, antes de entrar en la comunidad cristiana esotérica de Findhorn. Audrey Assad es otra buscadora espiritual incansable. Nace en la familia de un refugiado sirio, que llega a una Asamblea de Hermanos. Graba sus primeros discos en el ámbito de la llamada "música cristiana contemporánea", tras su conversión al catolicismo en 2007. Habla en los conciertos de su adicción a la pornografía y la masturbación, cuando tras su divorcio del líder de música de alabanza, Matt Maher, dice en 2021 que ya no es cristiana. Oímos en vivo la maravillosa composición que hizo sobre las Bienaventuranzas (Blessed Are The Ones) en 2012, que hace eco de la invitación de Jesús en este séptimo capítulo del Evangelio según Juan.

This week we look at the aftermath of the US election, truth, the 4B movement, trans language; Kristalnacht in Amsterdam; German government collapses; Japanese PM survives; Country of the Week - Azeribijan; COP29; Shell wins Netherlands Court Case;  Farmers in the UK; Euthanasia in the UK; Abortion in Australia; the fall of the Archbishop of Canterbury; Child Abuse in Yorkshire and New Zealand; and Feedback  with music from Metallica, Lee Greenwood, Bayati Shiraz, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and Larry Norman. 

El amor de Dios nos persigue. Es Su Gracia, la que con Su bendita terquedad no nos da tregua. Tenemos esa confianza por las palabras de Jesús en este sexto capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan. El poema "El lebrel o sabueso del Cielo" lo escribió en a finales del siglo XIX, Francis Thompson. Es la historia de cómo un joven abandona su vida acomodada para caer en la adicción en un sórdido Londres, donde encuentra al final a Dios en los brazos de una prostituta, atrapado por una Gracia irresistible. Tras la sintonía de Ruta 66 por la orquesta del trompetista Harry James, escuchamos la actualización del poema de "Hound of Heaven" que hizo uno de los grupos más extraños que salieron de la Revolución por Jesús. Daniel Amos, formado por Terry Scott Taylor en 1974, no encajaba en la edulcorada etiqueta de música de alabanza que había creado la Capilla Calvario, Maranatha. Años después de grabar su "Disco horrendo", logran publicar en 1981 su versión de la historia de Thompson en el Hollywood de los 70 con el sello que hace Larry Norman. Otro músico que no se amolda a la incipiente industria de la "música cristiana contemporánea" fue el tempranamente fallecido Mark Heard, muerto a los 40 años de un ataque al corazón. Tras estudiar periodismo en Georgia, se va a la comunidad suiza de L´Abri con Francis Schaeffer y al volver, publica su primer disco con el sello de Larry Norman, Solid Rock. Su canción "Corazón de corazones" (Heart of Heart)" la popularizó, sin embargo, Sam Phillips en 1983, cuando todavía utilizaba el nombre de Leslie, antes de casarse con T-Bone Burnett. "Como un vendaval con toda su fuerza / fui levantado de nuevo por el Señor", canta Van Morrison en 1979. En su canción "Full Force Gale" vuelve a la experiencia que tuvo cuando iba a la Asamblea de Hermanos que había abajo de su calle en Belfast, confiando de que "encontrará el camino de regreso a casa / siempre volverá al Señor". La película "Minari" (2020) da un cuadro de la fe tan honesto y verosímil, que sólo puede haber sido hecho por un cristiano, como es el joven cineasta coreano-americano Lee Isaac Chung. Premiado con el Oscar a la mejor actriz de reparto, cuenta la llegada de su familia a la América profunda en los años 80. El asombro de la Gracia de esta historia contrasta con la débil fe de sus protagonistas. Escuchamos escenas de la versión doblada con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora de Emile Mosseri. "Puedes escuchar la llamada de Dios", canta Neil Diamond en la canción que popularizó Elvis Presley a finales de los 60 (And The Grass Won´t Pay No Mind). Su iniciativa da la seguridad a Mike Scott de los Waterboys, por la que puede descansar en sus "Brazos eternos" (Everlasting Arms) en 1996.

¿Quién querría vivir para siempre?, si nuestro cuerpo y mente está en un estado tal, que ni siquiera nos reconocemos. Queremos vivir, pero vivir bien. Nuestro problema es que hemos sido hechos para vivir en relación con el Autor de la vida. Y al arrojar a la basura el Manual de Instrucciones, nada es como debiera ser. La vida eterna de la que habla Jesús en tercer capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan, no es sólo ilimitada en el tiempo, sino de acuerdo al propósito con el que hemos sido creados para Dios con la humanidad de Jesús. Tras la sintonía de Ruta 66 en la voz de la cantante de blues y jazz que acompañó la orquesta de Duke Ellington, Betty Roché, pensamos en esta parada en el viaje de la vida a la luz del Buen Libro en el versículo de la Biblia más repetido en el mundo evangélico, Juan 3:16. Lo hacemos con la canción que incluye la cita en el título de un cantante country alternativo llamado Keith Urban, que une al nombre que usaba John Mellecamp en los 80 (Cougar) y la marca de tractores John Deere para evocar en 2016 su educación en la América profunda del "cinturón bíblico" (John Cougar, John Deere & John 3:16). En el mundo urbano de la marginación afroamericana es el rapero Kanye West el que une en 2019 su fe en la "Vida eterna" (Eternal Life) con la debilidad de la adicción y el enfrentamiento entre el diablo y Jesús. En 1991 el músico de Irlanda del Norte Van Morrison busca en el silencio, "el momento eterno" de la inspiración mística que tuvo de niño en el Este protestante de Belfast, cuando se alimentaba de himnos y sermones en la Asamblea de Hermanos que había al final de su calle. En la oración que titula "Llévame de vuelta" anhela volver a tener la misma experiencia cuando "entendió y sintió la eternidad" (Take Me Back). Si hay una película que se atrevido a imaginar la vida eterna, ya no como fantasma en este mundo, sino en otra realidad, es la que hizo el atormentado cómico Robin Williams en 1998, sobre la historia del maestro del relato de misterio, Richard Matheson,"Más allá de los sueños". Escuchamos diálogos de la versión doblada al castellano con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora que hizo primero Ennio Morrricone y fue luego descartada, así como la que apareció finalmente de Michael Kamen. Paul Simon ha estado siempre buscando a Dios en sus canciones, pero sus últimos discos ya parecen no hablar de otra cosa. Este judío neoyorquino entró en el ambiente cristiano en Londres antes de grabar sus discos más conocidos con su antiguo compañero de colegio, Art Garfunkel. En "Amor y tiempos difíciles" (Love and Hard Times 2011), Simon imagina cómo sería si Dios bajara desde la eternidad con Su Hijo a la tierra, un domingo por la mañana. La canción con la que acabamos del programa es del que fuera portavoz del movimiento "hippie" de vuelta al cristianismo en la Revolución por Jesús de finales de los 60, Larry Norman. Estaba en medio de una de sus muchas crisis, cuando escribió esta oración, "Ilumíname con tu luz" (Shine Your Light), que aparece en un álbum de 1984 con versiones de Tom Howard y temas descartados de sus discos anteriores, acompañado por hermano Charlie y sus Cachorros (Young Lions) con el bucólico título de "Noche de paz" (Quiet Night). Nos recuerda que en esa eternidad, al que confía en Jesús, la Luz de su santidad, le cambiará también moralmente.

On this “Extended Play” 45RPM episode of the show, our good friend Chris White, writer and director of the romantic comedy/road picture Electric Jesus, takes us to the set where he recently directed a short film for the song “Come And Save Me” starring actor and musician Fred Armisen (SNL, Portlandia) and our favorite outsider folk-pop band, Danielson. The song started as an unpublished lyric originally composed by the late Jesus Rock icon Larry Norman. It was then set to music, with the blessing of Larry's estate, by Daniel Smith (of Danielson.) The resulting song is a complete departure from the tongue-in-cheek hair-metal Smith composed for the fictional metal band 316 in Electric Jesus. While “Come and Save Me” was not used in the film, it did appear on the soundtrack. Now, however, White has written and directed a special short film for the song, with Fred Armisen as the starring actor.   So, come with us to a film studio in Greenville, South Carolina, and hear from Chris White, Daniel Smith, Fred Armisen, and Mike Norman (Larry Norman's son) about how this fantastic project came together and how each of them approaches and interprets the meaning of “Come And Save Me.”   If you missed these previous episodes, be sure to go back and find our conversation with Daniel Smith on the topic of outsider art, join us on the set of Electric Jesus (which includes our conversation with actor Brian Baumgartner of The Office), and find our conversation with Chris White and Andy Erwin about the different ways faith is approached in film. We also released a very special “From The Vault” episode that included a previously unheard conversation with Larry Norman and a then-recent conversation with Michael about their complicated relationship. And if you would like more info on the Electric Jesus story, seek out and devour BOTH seasons of their excellent podcast. (You'll find us all over them.)   We could not have presented this episode to you without the help of Chris and Emily White. Electric Jesus is available to stream now.

The band Danielson started when Daniel Smith worked with his siblings to satisfy a requirement for his senior thesis three decades ago. If you're not familiar with their music, one thing you'll notice throughout today's show is that nobody else sounds anything like them. Daniel and I are talking today about the thirty-year evolution of the group, why he sings the way he does, how the group incorporates visual art into their work, producing records for others (including friends of the show Soul-Junk and Hermit Thrushes), creating the soundtrack to the film Electric Jesus, a new album in the works via Joyful Noise Recordings, collaborations with Sufjan Stevens, Half-Handed Cloud, Kramer, Jad Fair and so many others. Since recording this interview, Danielson has released a short film for their song “Come and Save Me” directed by Chris White that stars Fred Armisen and features previously unused lyrics by the late Larry Norman. Daniel spoke to me from his studio in New Jersey.

Stephen Wolfe's book The Case for Christian Nationalism ignited a firestorm of controversy when it was released in 2022.  In the book, Wolfe calls for revolt against tyranny and for Christians to mobilize at the state and local level to enact self-conscious Christian governments. In principle, according to Wolfe, Christian state's could use violence to maintain a Christian social order. With the help of Cato Institute historian Paul Matzko, podcast host Warren Throckmorton analyzes how Wolfe deals with Thomas Jefferson and highlights differences from other Christian nationalists such as David Barton. Also joining the program is Grove City College Dean of Arts and Letters and church historian Paul Kemeny. The Apostle Paul is also quoted so if you like Pauls, this episode is for you.

In 2012, only four months after release, publisher Thomas Nelson removed David Barton's book The Jefferson Lies from publication.  Many people blamed or credited a book by Warren Throckmorton and Michael Coulter titled Getting Jefferson Right for moving the publisher in that direction. What happened?Building on the foundation of the first two episodes, this installment in the Telling Jefferson Lies series provides the backstory to what was an unprecedented event for one of the largest Christian publishers in the nation. Warren Throckmorton interviews many of the people who were involved and supplies his perspective on what happened and why it happened. Interviews with historians Greg Forster, Glenn Sunshine, Gregg Frazer, Glenn Moots, Troy Jackson, David Austin Walsh, journalist Bob Smietana and Getting Jefferson Right co-author Michael Coulter pull back the curtain on an event that exposed the deficits in Christian nationalist story telling.

This grim yet colorful gem from the prolific Mark IV Pictures is one of the most revered and feared Christian movies of all time, for good reason. For many millennials who grew up Christian, A THIEF IN THE NIGHT was a foundational movie shown in church that introduced them to the terrifying immediacy of the apocalypse. Its snappy vignettes and powerful messaging that targets children left a strong impression and a sense of impending doom in young viewers. A THIEF IN THE NIGHT opens with a scene of a worship band covering the famous Larry Norman song “I Wish We'd All Been Ready”, taken from Norman's 1969 album Upon This Rock, which is often credited as being the first Christian rock album of all time. “Children died, the days grew cold/A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold” the band sings, viewed by our teen protagonists, who take its message with varying levels of seriousness or bored amusement. As the film unfolds, the teens who don't take this message seriously are faced with the scariest punishment available to a wannabe Christian — they are “left behind” in the rapture as America descends into a fascist state run by the antichrist. A THIEF IN THE NIGHT's message is clear: doing good works is not enough to save you. A truly good Christian believes the apocalypse is deadly serious and coming soon, and deviance from this worldview is a mortal sin. Joining us on the pod today is our friend Wormy, aka Jacob, who we met online through doing the show and has provided some key research that built up a few of our episodes over the past few months. He joins us today using his past as a student of Biblical Studies to fill in some key details about the history of dispensationalism in American Christianity. Wormy has his own show of pop cultural history and criticism on YouTube as Sludge Surfer. Check it out!

John Pantano's rock and roll roots go back to the 1960s psychedelic rock scene and the very genesis of the Jesus Movement. He and his friend, the late Ron Salsbury, were the core of JC Power Outlet - one of the earliest Jesus Rock bands on the scene. After two albums for Myrrh Records, the two signed with Larry Norman's vanguard Solid Rock label and changed their creative moniker to “Pantano Salsbury” for the release of their acclaimed, beloved (and doomed) 1977 album, Hit The Switch. That LP, long sought by collectors, is finally being remastered and re-released by Randy Layton's Alternative Records. Or at least we hope it is. We spoke to Pantano and Layton recently and are releasing this special 45 RPM episode, including several clips of the remastered songs, with the hope that more people will discover this sleeper classic and support the worthy Indiegogo campaign to fund this critical re-issue.

The Christian music industry is a bit broken at the moment. Why? Well Paul Colman might have the answer! Aided by the powerfully political Larry Norman and his 70s hit The Great American Novel. Playing at the white house, releasing over 100 albums, Larry was a pioneer of Christian rock music and instrumental in Paul's song writing. Plus are the Paul Colman Trio back together?

Randall Balmer is a scholar, professor, author, documentarian (Emmy nominee), and Episcopalian Priest. Ken and Dr. Balmer talk about his new book, Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right. They discuss notable players in the movement like Senator Mark Hatfield, Harold O.J. Brown, W.A. Criswell, Paul Weyrich, Ralph Reed, and Richard Land. In the right's celebration of Ronald Reagan, the religious right movement did not, as many believe, begin as pro-Life but rather defending evangelical institutions against the IRS which required compliance with the Civil Rights law.  The genesis of the Religious Right had nothing to do with abortion - it was racial segregation. The bridge to understanding the election of Donald Trump is Ronald Raegan - as evangelicals abandoned Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan launched his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi at the Neshoba County Fair, confirming "State's Rights." The church basement classic, Thief in the Night. was inspired by Dr. Balmer's pastor father's sermon series on Revelation preached in his home church in Iowa in 1974. It's the story of The Rapture and Larry Norman's popular song "I wish we'd all been ready." College and graduate school introduced Dr. Balmer to the life of the mind. They remember Billy Graham's crisis of faith. In 1994, Dr. Balmer's book 1989 Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory became a PBS Documentary and featured Tony Campolo, Dolphus Weary, Fred Price, Bill Hybels, the black church in Mississippi, Hispanic Pentecostals, Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, and many others. Today, in addition to his academic profession, Dr. Balmer is an Episcopalian priest - he shares the journey that led him to his ordination in the church.

Get ready to deep dive into Larry Norman's 1972 album 'Only Visiting This Planet' with the CJN Crew. When Josh first suggested this album we were all kind of leery of it, but boy is it 100% worth it. From inspiring one of the greatest alt rock bands of the 80's to being an early adopter of punk music, Larry Norman was the godfather of "Christian" music and well worth a deep dive.
