4.9.21 Sexy Spirituality Show Notes  “Exploring Spirituality through Songwriting”  Recorded 2.9.21. 10:00 AM MST    Exploring Spirituality through Songwriting  Sexy Spirituality Episode #40     Host: Lezli Goodwin  Guest: Denise Rosier, Contemporary New Thought artist, and award-winning singer/songwriter  Guest: Heather O’Day, Musical Director of Sonoran Desert Center for Spiritual Living in Amado, Arizona     Small Talk  Lezli, Heather and Denise talk birthdays!    Exploring Spirituality through Songriting  Okay, we’ve got singer/songwriter madness going on here today  I wanted to have Denise and Heather on today, as they are both wonderful songwriters, performers and spiritual leaders. I came to know each through the Empower Music and Arts organization, the group that gives the Posi Awards for positive music. Https://empowerma.com  Denise, give us the nutshell version of how you landed in positive music: Starting out as an inspirational Christian artist, as my spirituality changed my music changed. During a performance break, someone suggested that a spiritual center community would appreciate my music. I didn’t know the songs, so I had to write to find songs that would work.  Heather: A director at Tuscon New Thought was looking for musicians to sit in for Sunday Celebration Services. My path was taking me there, but I didn’t have a community or a name for it. Before I knew it, there was an entire community at home, in my back yard, and led to a Music Director position. There was no hymnal! So, I was guided to some new thought musicians, and I did a retreat with Karen Drucker, who said, “This genre needs new voices. This genre needs your voice. Why not start now”    Lezli: I came to all of this exactly background. I grew up doing performing arts, and then I took a 16-year break & developed stage fright. During practitioner training, I was assigned, “Go do the scariest thing you can think of.” The scariest thing I could think of was to go back into vocal training. Dawn Kerlin made herself available to do some vocal training, which turned into song writing, which turned into recording albums.  The more you write, the better it gets. You have to get the muck out.  Tom Kimmel once gave me the homework to go home and write a hundred terrible songs! It takes the pressure off.  Densie: a Christian label pushed me to write, as they wanted every singer to write their own songs, and I loved it. Sometimes I have to just be with a song until a word lands, just let them move around in my mind and then BAM, there it is.  It’s amazing how people have such deep meaning and feelings about songs, and I remember, “I was microwaving spare ribs when I thought of that line.” The funniest things stand out.  Writing songs (and messages for Sunday) come from what we’re working on in our own lives. It’s true in inspirational music as much as any other kind of music.  Denise: I was very clear that I was going to write the songs I wanted to write and produce them the way I produce them. I didn’t care of anyone else liked them. Luckily, people did respond to them.  When it comes to inspirational music, I am simply just reaching out to Spirit and having a conversation with God. We’re kind of like the greeting card writers for people who maybe don’t know quite how to say what they are feeling. We create a space for people to be with God in that moment.  “To sing is to pray twice.”  St. Augustine (sorry for the misattribution)  What is the greatest lesson from being a spiritual song writing for non-writers:  Heather: That everything is an act of creativity, that there is only One Mind and One Heart. It’s all coming from a personal place.   We mentioned Daniel Nahmod http://www.danielnahmod.com/, Karen Drucker https://www.karendrucker.com/, Tom Kimmel https://tomkimmel.com/, Harold Payne https://haroldpaynemusic.com/, Lezli & Dawn  https://www.reverbnation.com/lezlidawn.    ….  Something Good  Heather: I am the host of Wednesday Night Live, which is a New Thought music driven video podcast Facebook.com/CSLSonoranDesert. Plus, new music called “The Journey” at  www.heatheroday.com for info.  Denise: In addition to my music, one of the things I did during COVID was work on some ministry resources. Go to deniserosier.com for info for ministers and music directors, free chords for congregational songs. I’m developing workshops for pulpit ministers and music directors to build a stronger connection for creating a bigger and more robust music ministry. And I’m starting a new album this year!  Lezli: My something good is…I have a class coming up called Podcasting 101. Podcasting can be a fun, creative way to embrace the idea of a church without walls, connecting with people all over the world. It can seem overwhelming, but there are simple, inexpensive ways to make your podcasting dreams a reality.

RE-BROADCAST OF PEARL HARBOR DAY with TOM KIMMEL from 2018

RE-BROADCAST OF PEARL HARBOR DAY with TOM KIMMEL from 2018

Tom Kimmel spent more than 3 decades in Nashville sharing his songs with folks like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Linda Ronstadt, Nanci Griffith, Dolly Parton, Shawn Colvin, Art Garfunkel, and many, many other well-known performers, and performing them himself. Tom's songs expose his heart and move the hearts of others, both though the words & music, combining his gifts as a songwriter, poet, speaker, & teacher.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind” by Tom Kimmel and Klaus Caprani: “He said there is a light in the dark when we need it the most. There is a way through this world if we keep this in mind, No one gets to heaven if anybody else is left behind. No one gets to heaven if anyone is lost along the way. It’s so easy to doubt it, so now let us join hands and pray . . . . Singin’ ‘No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind,’ . . . And when we raised up our voices, we sounded like angels on high, Singin’ ‘No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind.’”  

Every Sing 007: Tom Kimmel on How Music Move Us Tom Kimmel is an award winning songwriter for film (Twins, Runaway Bride, Serendipity), television (Touched By An Angel, Dawson's Creek, Miami Vice), and for a host of major artists including Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker and Randy Travis. A soulful entertainer, speaker, poet, and teacher, Tom tours widely and has released seven albums and a book of poems.   Tom says: We are drawn to things that move us, and from a really early age I just loved music.   Tom started out as a singer in high school, but as soon as he learned three chords on the guitar he started writing songs and they just poured out.   Lately, Tom feels like he is a writer first. He's been thinking about things to write that don't involved performing, including his memoir.   At some point his drive shifted from performing and making money to sharing and building community.   Tom's goal for the songs he writes is that they help people calm down, warm up, relax, and their breath changes.   Tom didn't have any formal training and learned from copying others until he developed his own style. In the process he learned that he needed to stop trying so hard - to just sing and be present.    "Our job in life is to show up. Listen and share.” Tom Kimmel   www.tomkimmel.com   Every Sing Podcast Page: nancybos.net/podcast/ Every Sing Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/   Teadora - the show sponsor - at Teadorabeauty.com with discount code "everysing" for 25% off.

A noted Pearl Harbor scholar, former FBI agent, and eldest grandson of Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, Commander of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor during the attack on December 7,1941, Tom Kimmel comes from a family of distinguished scholars and government servants dedicated to protecting America. Notwithstanding the preceding, his grandfather was accused from the well of the House of Representatives of failing to prevent World War II, and the Cold War. His fourth great grandfather was accused of starting the Revolutionary War, and the Whiskey Rebellion. Tom welcomes the opportunity to respond to the allegations. A graduate of the US Naval Academy, Tom served on three warships during the Vietnam War and attended John Marshall Law School prior to joining the FBI in 1973, where he continued to serve his Country as an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for more than 25 years.

This lesson speaks to the heart: it is taken from the Book of Psalms and from the lyrics to a song by Tom Kimmel. The title says it all: “No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind.” “How many say of me, ‘God will not save that one,’ But you, LORD, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high” (Ps. 3). “No one gets to heaven if anybody else is left behind.” “You, LORD, give light to my lamp; my God brightens the darkness about me” (Ps.18). “There is a light when we need it the most.” “You will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever” (Ps. 16). “There is a way through this world if we keep this in mind . . . .” “Some had lost their way in a barren desert; found no path . . . . In their distress they cried to the LORD, who rescued them in their peril, guided them by a direct path” (Ps.107). “No one gets to heaven if any body else is left behind.”
