Send us a textTarrence Phillips captivates listeners with his remarkable journey from forklift operator to rising Christian country star in this genuine, faith-filled conversation. After singing since age three and exploring various musical genres, Phillips reveals how returning to his first love—country music—with a Christian perspective became his life's calling and ministry.The South Carolina native shares the pivotal moment when a shelved song called "Thank You" unexpectedly launched his career after a friend encouraged him to release it. Within weeks, the song climbed into the Top 10, eventually leading to his signing with LBM Records, a Christian label specifically seeking a country artist. Phillips speaks warmly about serving as a praise and worship leader at New Hope Baptist Church for 24 years while balancing his growing music career with family responsibilities.What stands out most is Phillips' authentic approach to blending musical influences spanning from Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to Randy Travis and Charlie Pride. He discusses his recent releases including "Thank You," "My Everything," and "Trouble"—songs that convey messages of gratitude, devotion, and perseverance through faith. With refreshing humility, Phillips previews his upcoming love ballad "Song is About You," dedicated to the wife he met at church, while emphasizing his mission to share Christ's love through country music. His parting wisdom that "trouble doesn't last always" resonates as powerfully as his music, making this episode both uplifting and deeply inspiring for anyone navigating their own path of purpose.Subscribe to hear more conversations with passionate dreamers and creators, and visit tarrencephillipsmusic.com to discover Terrence's music on all major streaming platforms.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Former FOX 5 reporter Randy Travis running for Lawrenceville City Council seat Randy Travis, a retired FOX 5 Atlanta investigative reporter of 35 years, is running for Lawrenceville City Council Post 3 this fall. Known for exposing government corruption, Travis aims to continue public service by ensuring efficient use of tax dollars. He will challenge incumbent Austin Thompson, focusing on keeping taxes low, supporting diverse housing, and aiding small businesses. A Lawrenceville resident, Travis has served as a poll worker and on the city’s Financial Review Citizen Committee. Married for 41 years, he values community ties, Georgia Gwinnett College, and small business growth. His campaign emphasizes a safe, vibrant future for Lawrenceville. STORY 2: Gwinnett man killed, woman injured in shooting at Norcross area hotel A shooting at the Horizon Inn & Suites in Gwinnett County late Tuesday left 29-year-old Andre Jones dead and a woman injured. Police found Jones with a gunshot wound to the chest; he later died at the hospital. The woman, an apparent bystander, sustained a leg injury but was not involved in the altercation. Detectives are investigating the motive and pursuing leads. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Gwinnett police or Crime Stoppers anonymously. The incident occurred around 11:45 p.m. at the hotel on Dawson Blvd. Police continue to seek answers in this tragic case. STORY 3: Socialist group to hold immigration protest in downtown Lawrenceville Protestors will gather in downtown Lawrenceville on Saturday afternoon to oppose immigration raids and arrests, organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. The "Hands Off Immigrants" protest will take place at 2 p.m. at Bicentennial Plaza, a busy area near Lawrenceville Lawn. The group advocates for socialism, criticizing capitalism for creating a "repressive state" and endorsing revolutionary change. Police have warned of potential traffic disruptions from 2 to 6 p.m. but pledged neutrality while ensuring safety. The event follows a tense immigration protest in DeKalb County last weekend, where tear gas was used, and arrests, including a journalist, were made. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

Originally awaiting a job offer from Central Arkansas, they found their calling at GAC, where they viewed their work as a ministry. Kristy coached softball and volleyball, winning multiple championships, while Cliff led the baseball team to a record number of victories and served as associate athletic director. Honored with the "Shelton Stands" at GAC’s baseball park, the couple plans to move to Arkansas to be near family. They look forward to new pursuits like writing, golfing, and fishing while continuing to find purpose in helping others.

The charges, including reckless driving and running a red light, stem from incidents in May and June, unrelated to his June 14 arrest. Guevara, known for live-streaming ICE arrests in metro Atlanta, was detained by ICE after being granted bond. His attorneys question the timing of the charges, emphasizing his innocence. Guevara, in the U.S. on a valid work permit, is currently held at ICE’s Folkston Detention Facility while pursuing permanent residency. STORY 7: Georgia Senate Republicans vote on new leadership amid big shuffle The Georgia Senate is undergoing a major leadership shakeup as Republicans elected Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas, as the new majority leader and nominated Sen. Larry Walker III, R-Perry, as president pro tempore. Anavitarte, serving since 2021, steps into the third-highest Senate role, leaving his caucus chair position vacant. Walker’s promotion, pending a full Senate vote in January, would also create a leadership gap. These changes follow Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ anticipated gubernatorial run, triggering leadership shifts as Sen. Steve Gooch and Sen. John F. Kennedy vie for Jones’ position. Four of six top Republican Senate roles will change next session. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 3 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

On my FAFO Friday episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I kicked things off with a bang, hyped about being just 10 episodes shy of my 1,000th show, slated for Friday, June 13, 2025. I'm already dreaming big—maybe I'll get Ric Flair to swing by for the milestone! Reflecting on big moments, I brought up the late Mike Leach's posthumous induction into the College Football Hall of Fame after a rule tweak, a reminder to never take a single day for granted. Broadcasting from Flora, Mississippi, on 103.9 FM WYAB, my show streams worldwide in crisp HD from the Men's Health & Women's Wellness Studios. I dove into a wild story about Jackson's Metrocenter Mall, where Randy Travis is reportedly dropping $5 million to turn the old Burlington Coat Factory into a Randy Travis Country Store and Travel Center. I'm skeptical—given the area's crime and demographics, I can't see it working out. I predicted it might morph into a sketchy gas station in a few years. My listeners backed me up, texting about safety concerns and Travis's health struggles post-stroke. For the second hour, I welcomed former Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn, the first Republican in that seat in 136 years, from 2012 to 2024. Philip opened up about losing his family to a drunk driver 37 years ago, a tragedy that shaped his faith and drive. We talked about the Republican wave in Mississippi, sparked by the Democratic Party's leftward shift, and his proudest wins—like boosting education and passing the state's biggest tax cut. He shared a hilarious story about speeding up a bill-reading machine to counter Democratic delay tactics, a relic of an 1894 rule. Philip hinted at future plans, guided by faith, and I wrapped up feeling grateful for his grit and the chance to share his real story with my audience.
On my FAFO Friday episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I dove into a head-scratching story about the Metrocenter Mall in Jackson, Mississippi, where country music legend Randy Travis and his wife Mary are planning to invest $5 million to transform the former Burlington Coat Factory into a Randy Travis Country Store and Travel Center. Broadcasting from Flora on 103.9 FM WYAB, I couldn't hide my skepticism about the project's chances in a high-crime area with demographics that don't scream country music fans. I jokingly called it a “redneck Buc-ee's” and predicted it might turn into a troubled gas station within three years, given the area's rough reputation. Listeners chimed in on the Guns & Gear text line, echoing my doubts, with some pointing out Travis's health challenges since his 2013 stroke, which left him with aphasia, raising questions about whether he's being taken advantage of. I also noted the mall's decline—once Mississippi's largest when it opened in 1978, now a ghost town since its last store closed in 2022. Recent plans for a film studio there have been plagued by theft, and I questioned the logic of banking on interstate traffic without understanding Jackson's realities. My callers, like Jason and Miss Lacey, agreed, giving the project a grim over-under of weeks before trouble hits, with one suggesting a mental health facility would be a better fit for the site.
CLIMBer, have you ever met somebody who thinks they're the next big thing - but they suck and they don't even know it? Well, that is the Dunning-Kruger effect at work. It's a real thing. It's all over the place, and you do NOT want to be its next victim. So today, we're diving into how overconfidence can sabotage your music career and how to avoid being that guy or girl.

After more than 40 years as one of the most popular and recognizable voices in country music, during which he earned a pile of Grammys and a rightful place in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Randy Travis is a household name who has inspired legions of fans. A few weeks ago I was fortunate to sit down with Randy and his wife, Mary, at their home in Nashville and to hear their incredible—and incredibly difficult—story. After a near-fatal stroke impaired his ability to speak and stole his singing voice in 2013, Randy had to overcome serious odds to rebuild his life and career. Now, thanks to his longtime producer, Kyle Lehning, and the advances of AI technology, Randy Travis has gotten his voice back. The bond he and Mary share is a big part of what's made his comeback possible, and it also helped us to have this conversation about their life together. Sid talks to Randy and Mary about his new song, “Horses in Heaven,” the new biopic based on his life, Forever and Ever. Amen, and how he's reaching the next generation of fans.

Inspiration for the cold open obviously came from me watching Goodfellas for the 100th time. How freakin unbelievably good was Scorsese's mother in that. Possibly the best overall actor in a particular scene with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta, all in their primes, she steals the screen and has a top 10 all-time scene in any movie. Picking up a shovel at my mother's keeps getting better every time I see it. '98 Braves slowed reverb is really fantastic. I'm seriously considering blasting some chopped and screwed country tunes next week. How wicked hot is that. George Jones and Randy Travis chopped and screwed get outta town. In other seriously fantastic news.. I'm a single 32 year old man with no children so that affords me the luxury of spending money on vinyl records to blast for you people every week that would be good for you good for me thank you now. I did just yesterday find a rare Jai Paul Demo drop of Jasmine to match my Demo drop record of BTSTU. It is not the limited Jasmine record that smells like Jasmine, it is the older original 2012 Demo drop vinyl of Jasmine and I do believe it is sealed. A sealed copy should be at least $100-$120 but basically only nerd losers like me know this so I found the Orig 2012 Demo for $16 on eBay with no other comparable sold items in history meaning its pretty wicked rare. I only need 3 records to complete the entire library of possible Jai Paul vinyl. He/Do you love her now single numbered to 500 and signed, going anywhere from $300-$500 a pop.. The white vinyl Bait Ones drop which is cheap I'm just lazy and already have 4 copies of Bait Ones. And the limited smelling Jasmine record would be the only ones I'm needing and I'd imagine I will break down and have them all within the next year or so as I expand this ever-increasing collection. I do actually need another shelf I've run out of room. Who typed this novel in the description of my Witwicky Juan Don installment? I did try a new coffee today and I do believe it just made me black out for a second. Thank you, as always, for being here and enduring this ear beating. I hope an individual out there somewhere enjoyed it. Until next time, I remain your faithful disc jockey on the internet.Your Host with the Most,Witwicka Juan Don

Episode 181 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything! This week we are joined by the Founder and President of SANDLOTT Baseball, former Music Publisher, and my Dad, Mickey Hiter! Episode in a Glance:Check it out! In this episode, my father, Mickey Hiter, and I explore the intersections of music and baseball, sharing personal anecdotes and insights from our respective careers. Mickey reflects on his time in the music industry, discussing the importance of authenticity, memorable encounters with stars like Garth Brooks, and the impact of technology on the music landscape. The conversation also delves into Mickey's transition from music to baseball, highlighting the challenges and decisions he faced during this significant career shift. We highlight the importance of authenticity in music, the breakthrough of Kenny Chesney, and the creative process behind songwriting and production. We end by touching on the impact of our familial relationship on our professional journeys, emphasizing the significance of mentorship and the passing down of knowledge across generations.Key Points:- The importance of capturing inspiration immediately.- Building relationships in the music industry is crucial.- Authenticity is key to success.- Personal stories can illustrate broader industry trends.- Kenny Chesney's breakthrough was a result of networking.- Production quality in demos is crucial for artist interest.- Family legacies play a crucial role in personal development.- The music industry is filled with rich stories and history.- Understanding the needs of a song is essential for musicians.- Mentorship is vital for growth in any profession.About our guest: Mickey Hiter has dedicated his life to baseball as a player, coach, and entrepreneur. An All-City catcher at Antioch High School, he played at David Lipscomb University and later in the Tri-State Adult Baseball League, where he shared the field with both his father, Wayne Hiter, a Hall of Famer, and his son, Nick Hiter, a league MVP. As a coach, he led Twitty City Hallmark to over 500 wins, six World Series appearances, and the 1998 NABF High School Division World Championship. More than 60 of his players have gone on to college or professional baseball, and his instructional videos have amassed over 2.6 million views.Beyond the field, Mickey spent two decades in the music industry, publishing "1982” by Randy Travis and producing albums for Garth Brooks, Doug Stone, and others.

In this episode, Jonathan Wier is joined by James and Cody for a hilarious and increasingly unhinged exploration of King of the Hill fan theories. It starts off sane but quickly descends into beautiful madness—what they call the King of the Hill conspiracy iceberg. The crew tackles questions like: Why did Luanne give up auto repair? (Possible diagnosis: drain damage.) Did Peggy suffer brain damage after a skydiving mishap? Did Cotton Hill fake his death and flee to Japan? Why does Bobby own a Bart Simpson doll if The Simpsons is just a TV show in that universe? And is Dale exterminating bugs as a lifelong vendetta against his dad? Along the way, they spiral into tangents about Rocky villains, microwave-sized shoes, the myth of Peggy's size 16.5 feet, and a serious debate over who's hotter on Modern Family. If you love King of the Hill, weird fan theories, and grown men bonding over animated sitcoms, this episode is pure comfort food with a propane aftertaste.
We tell Randy Travis what we think about tying shoes.
