ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE: What happens when faith collides with fame? In this thought-provoking episode, I chat with award-winning artist Steph Carse, who pulls back the curtain on his journey in the entertainment industry. From performing alongside music legends to navigating Hollywood, Steph shares the personal highs and lows that refined his calling, showing how God has been shaping his mission all along. We explore: Using Gifts as a Calling: How living out of his car and collaborating with top artists helped Steph recognize his talents as more than just skills—they were a calling. Redemption Stories and Real-Life Miracles: Steph reveals powerful stories, like that of a woman who overcame abuse to find her voice in gospel music, touching hearts and sparking healing for others. Facing Modern Challenges: With social media's influence and shifting family dynamics, Steph talks about the struggle for self-worth and how his projects address bullying and identity in today's world. Standing Firm in Faith: Together, we discuss how the Church can reclaim its role in the arts, bringing light into an industry that deeply influences culture. Is it possible for God to use the arts to revive hearts and stir faith? Tune in as we unpack this question with Steph's remarkable testimony of surrender and purpose. This episode will challenge and inspire you to see entertainment as a mission field, igniting hope and healing in unexpected places. ABOUT GUEST: While many may recognize Emmy ® Award winner Steph Carse as a world-class vocalist, in actuality he is a Jack-of-all-trades: a writer, editor, producer and director, songwriter, and music artist with multiple awards and accolades to his name. Having sold over half a million records and garnering fans and awards from around the globe, one would never imagine after his breakout success in (1993) he found himself at square one in 1997, with no money, living in his car, seeking his purpose.

In this episode, we're getting awkward with Henna Pryor!

On today's show, Mark talks with Jim Ash, a local recovery advocate and graduate of the Boise Rescue Mission's New Life program. 

Today we are excited to be joined by Stephen Kent, a political speaker/writer in Washington, D.C., and the author of the book "How the Force Can Fix the World: Lessons on Life, Liberty, and Happiness from a Galaxy Far, Far Away". He is also our very first guest on the show, and we had a blast getting to dive deeper into philosophy, politics, and life values that are paralleled in the great story of Star Wars.  We get to know Stephen and his background in politics and podcasting, before jumping right into his book and the major themes within. We touch on the values and larger meaning of Star Wars, before getting into the idea of free will and how it applies to clone troopers. Later, we discuss the possibility of combining the ideology of the Sith and the Jedi, along with masks worn in Star Wars and in our own lives. Do we all wear masks at some point, and can they be used for good? And is the concept of empathy disappearing from society as we speak? Before wrapping things up, we dive into a major theme that is prevalent in almost all of our favorite fandom properties such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and that is our heroes aging. We have seen Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan, Indiana Jones, etc. being portrayed as old and washed up, struggling to rise to glory again. We touch on the audience's reception of such things, and what we think about the pattern.All this and more that we can't wait for you to hear! 01:15 - Introducing Stephen Kent12:44 - Star Wars Values, Redemption Stories, and Cancel Culture31:52 - Clone Troopers and Free Will, Combining Values of the Jedi and Sith40:45 - Masks We Wear, Why Star Wars is So Meaningful, The Lack of Empathy in People and Politics, Convenience Breeds Reliance1:15:30- How the Force Can Fix the World1:16:40 - The Last Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Indiana Jones, and the Aging of Our HeroesYou can find "How the Force Can Fix the World" wherever books are sold and in audiobook form on Audible!
