Podcast appearances and mentions of Zach Williams

On today's show, we chat with two time guest, Ben Fuller!Music has taken Ben Fuller's life and made it into something he never would have dreamed. Ben grew up in Southern Vermont on his family dairy farm working along-side his father. He'd pass the time by singing classic country tunes as he witnessed first-hand the hard work and dedication it took to run a farm.  After generations of hurt in his family, Ben turned to cocaine and alcohol at a young age. Motivated to change, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a country singer in late 2018. A family friend invited Ben over for a meal and then to church the next morning, where he was radically transformed by the power of God. Today, Ben lives completely sober, while sharing his story of hope, redemption, and healing in Jesus' Name through his songs. Ben was nominated for the 2023 K-LOVE Fan Awards (Breakout Single of The Year - “Who I Am”) and the 2023 Dove Awards (New Artist of the Year). In 2024, he was nominated for the Dove Award for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year (“If I Got Jesus”). His debut single, “Who I Am” went #1 on multiple Christian radio charts, while “If I Got Jesus” has amassed over 48M streams as well as 1.4B short form views and 2.1M creations on TikTok.  Additionally, Ben has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the CMA Festival, and has toured with Casting Crowns, Zach Williams, Big Daddy Weave, CAIN, We Are Messengers, and others.Provident Entertainment and chart-topping singer-songwriter Ben Fuller are excited to announce the release of his highly anticipated new album, Walk ThroughFire, available worldwide on June 6. The new project features Fuller's most personal and powerful music to date, including the brand-new single, “Since Jesus, ” out today and availableon all streaming platforms.  Written by Ben Fuller, Ethan Hulse, and Sam Martinez, and produced by Martinez, “Since Jesus” is a bold declaration of transformation and faith. Following the success of his previoussingle “If It Was Up To Me” featuring multi-platinum country icon Carrie Underwood, Fuller's latest release showcases his signature blend of vulnerability, authenticity, and soul-stirring conviction.  'Since Jesus' is my favorite track on the album, ” says Fuller,“ and the message is simple: my life has dramatically changed since I met Jesus and the journey He has taken” me on.  Walk Through Firemarks a milestone moment in Fuller's journey, both musically and spiritually.  The record blends elements of rock, classical, and country, and represents Fuller at his most honest and unfiltered. From the first prayer to the final production, he played a hands-on role in every step of the process.  “God walked everywhere when He was on this earth. He was never in a hurry, ” Fuller shares about the album's theme.  “He meets you where you are—whether at your highest high or your lowest low. I'm thankful that I had to walk through fire to get to where I am today. It was time to throw out my old boots, the ones covered in sin and shame, and put on new ones as I started my walk with God."@bendfullerchristianmusicguys.com@christianmusicguys

TRAUMA TO TRIUMPH: THE BIRTH OF THE LONE BELLOW

Architects may be the ultimate influencers in the building process, but winning their specification is only the beginning—and one missed detail or a slow sample delivery can lose you the next project. In this episode, Beth PopNikolov and Zach Williams sit down with Benjamin Glunz, CEO of Anguleris (the company behind Swatchbox and other essential tools for architects and designers). Together, they dive into why shifting your strategy from chasing leads to genuinely supporting architects' workflows can future-proof your brand and put your products at the forefront of today's fast-evolving construction landscape.

Today's witnesses are from Matthew West's website, called popwe.org. If you don't know who Matthew West is, he is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller. This website is for the non-profit that he has with his father, a pastor. Matthew and his father encourage people to share their stories. They have various categories of stories. Today, I chose two testimonies from the Anxiety/Depression Category. I know so many people who are struggling with anxiety and depression right now. Suicide seems to be increasing as well. Often, we can hear our own story in someone else's story. When we listen to others tell their story, it helps us see that we are not alone. When we hear how God worked in their situation, it gives us hope that He will work in ours, too! I pray that when you hear these testimonies, you get the faith and hope to believe that miracles can happen in your situation, too. I pray you know that God is there with you, and if you invite Him into your anxiety and depression, He can help.Blair: Every story has a beginning. Even God's Word says “In the beginning” Genesis 1:1. So here's how my beginning led me to where I am now. I was born into a “Christian” home. We went to church, we went to Youth Group, and we participated in missionary activities at the church. But there was not a Bible to be seen in our whole house. I'm the first of three children, the Type A, do everything right, be the perfect kid. That's great, but try being that way with a mother who was emotionally, psychologically, verbally, and sometimes, very rarely, physically abusive.I didn't have a traditional mother-daughter relationship doing things together. I was a good student- no- I had to be a perfect student. When my brother was born, the last child, it was made very clear who the favorite child was. My sister and I were knocked out of place because we were girls. So, in the beginning, I was not the gender my mother wanted me to be. As the years went by, it was more of the same treatment with little in the way of any faith journey or building a relationship with Jesus. When I began having children, the stress of that sent me over the edge. The depression and anxiety were debilitating. I felt like I was in a valley and didn't know how to climb out. My husband was a pastor and even then my faith was very shallow.Things continued to spiral out of control and I ended up in the psychiatric ward of the hospital three times. Sadly, some of those times were because of suicide attempts. The whole of 2011 I basically spent in bed. I felt hopeless, useless, exhausted, unworthy, scared, anxious, and I could go on. I finally got a doctor who tweaked my medication so that I could go about “normal” life. Two weeks after my last stay in the hospital, my husband of 18 years passed away at the age of 44 on Christmas Eve. My boys were 17,15, 11, and 9.This is where the story of my new life in Christ began. Just like there were medication changes, there were also church changes that led to soul changes. I could actually hear God. I wanted to learn everything about Him. The more I began leaning into Him, the more He leaned into me. I lost my dad two years before my husband and my mom three years after my husband. But I was as ok as ok could be given the circumstances life has, is, and will be. That's life. I am so thankful for the valleys because then I was able to enjoy the mountain tops. God has a reason for me being here. Understand that my life still hasn't been perfect. I've had many financial difficulties. I've had difficulties being a man to four boys not knowing what it means to be a dad. But I know 100% that all of these “tragedies” and “valleys” led me to “triumphs” and “mountain tops” because God has a plan that I can't see. He is with me ALL the time. He puts people in my life that help me grow- friends, pastors, and family. He inspires me through music. The words hit me in just the right place and at just the right time. I'm thankful for the music of Matthew West, Chris Tomlin, Mercy Me, Toby Mac, Zach Williams and so many other talented musicians that bring God to me. I love music but I love my Savior even more. And so my story continues until God takes me home to live with Him in glory. My past doesn't dictate my future and my past doesn't change my relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm so very loved by a God who loves me unconditionally. Guess what? He loves you that much, too.Jenna: I grew up in a Christian family. We went to church every Sunday and Wednesday and were a part of almost everything; Awana, Elevate teen group, and even school there. Two and a half years ago, I lost someone who I was close to because she felt the need to commit suicide. I was heartbroken and I felt like I lost everything. 2022 was a challenging year for me. I had daily panic attacks and felt like I was worthless. My eating habits went down significantly, and I was stressed all the time. As exams neared, I was super stressed and ended up passing out.Months passed and I still felt worthless. I planned to commit suicide when I got a text from a friend, and it was like a text from God. She said she heard I was going to camp and hoped to see me there. I thought if I waited til after camp, and then committed suicide it would be okay. So I went to camp and it changed my life. I met so many new people and was able to share my hurt with my church and they told me that I was not alone. Camp was my blue couch moment as I sat there in service Thursday night, I realized that I needed God in my life more than ever. I had already been saved, but I realized I hadn't been living like Christ wanted me to. I have had friends come and go in my life some that have stuck around for a while God will not let you down and he will always have someone in mind who will help you grow in faith and support you through it all. They can also help you overcome the hardships in your life.I still deal with anxiety and eating habits, but they have gotten so much better since camp and I am so thankful for all that my church has done for me. Also, I have my three closest friends with me right by my side and the Lord has blessed me with an amazing boyfriend who I love and who has helped me through a lot.GOD'S NOT DONE WITH YOU OR YOUR STORY! HE STILL CARES A LOT AND WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU. YOU HAVE A PURPOSE – TURN TO GOD TO FIND THAT PURPOSE AND YOU WILL BE FOUND.Thank you to Jenna & Blair for sharing their stories with us. I know it can be hard to be vulnerable and share your story; however, when you share your story, you are showing someone else that God is there and that if He worked in your life, then He can work in their life too. You are showing them that if you could make it through the hard time, they can too.

May 6, 2025 - A quiet campaign by an organized labor and a prolonged advocacy effort by the business community appears to have been successful in convincing state policymakers to pay off New York's multi-billion dollar unemployment insurance debt to the federal government. We consider the ramifications of the deal that is taking shape, including what it means for unemployment benefits in the future, with Zach Williams, a Capitol reporter for Bloomberg Government.

Se habla a veces de la fe como una opción más en la vida, como si para algunos de nosotros fuera posible vivir sin Cristo. Juan cuenta la parábola de Jesús sobre la vid y los pámpanos en el capítulo 15 de su Evangelio, que nos recuerda que separados de Él, nada podemos hacer (v. 5). El cantautor de Filadelfia, Amos Lee, se hizo especialmente conocido al ir de gira con Nora Jones y Bob Dylan a principios de este siglo. En 2011 pide a Jesús si puede ayudarle, ahora que se siente tan solo, en la canción que lleva su nombre. Zach Williams tenía un grupo también a principios de siglo llamado La Reforma (The Reformation), pero es cuando llega a ser cristiano que se une a los Hermanos de la Gracia (Brothers Of Grace). En 2019 graba con "la reina del country", Dolly Parton, nieta de un pastor pentecostal, "Allí estaba Jesús" (There Was Jesus). Malcolm Wild es ahora pastor de la Capilla Calvario en Florida, pero junto con Alwyn Wall, ahora pastor de Calvary Chapel en Londres, formó un dúo de apariencia hippy al estilo Simon y Garfunkel. a principios de los 70, llamado Malcolm y Alwyn. Al llegar los sonidos de la "nueva ola" de "power pop" en Los Ángeles a finales de los 70, Wild formó un grupo que recuerda a The Knack con el nombre de Malcolm y los Espejos (Mirrors), que grabaron un sólo álbum en 1981 de "Vuelta a la Roca" (Back To The Rock). El nombre "The Chosen" (Los Elegidos) era desde los años 70 conocido como el título de la novela más popular sobre las diferencias entre los judíos de Nueva York en 1967. El libro de Chaim Potok muestra el contraste entre el judaísmo ortodoxo moderno sionista y el ultraortodoxo jasídico en contra del estado de Israel. Habla del encuentro de dos hijos adolescentes de estudiosos de la Ley judía que se hacen amigos en el barrio predominantemente judío de Brooklyn. La apasionante historia de sus diferencias fue llevada al cine en 1981 como "Elegidos del gheto" con el popular actor juvenil judío de los 70, Robbie Benson, junto a veteranos interpretes como Maximilian Schell y Rod Steiger. Escuchamos algunos diálogos de la versión doblada, comentados por José de Segovia con la música de fondo del trío judío polaco de "klezmer" Kroke (Cracovia en "yididish") y la banda sonora original de Elmer Bernstein. El tema del grupo irlandés U2, "¡Despierta hombre muerto!" (Wake Up Dead Man) fue escrito diez años antes de que lo grabaran en el álbum "Pop" (1997). Refleja la lucha de Bono y The Edge por mantener la fe que conocieron de adolescentes en la comunidad cristiana carismática Shalom de Dublin. Es una oración a Jesús pidiendo ayuda, al verse solos en este mundo. La escuchamos en la versión en vivo que hicieron en el castillo irlandés de Slane. Otra plegaria a Jesús que tardó muchos años en salir a la luz es la del cantautor canadiense Bruce Cockburn, que grabó para su disco "In The Falling Dark" (1977), pero no se publicó hasta el 2002. Es una emocionante confesión de fe desde la oscuridad a la que se ha enfrentado siempre , este maravilloso músico que cumple ahora 80 años.

New York officials are in the final stage of the state's budget process, following March 13 passage of the Assembly and Senate individual spending and revenue proposals for fiscal 2026. It's now up to a three-way negotiation between the Legislature's two chambers and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has her own plans for a budget that's likely to top $252 billion—including a host of tax changes that don't completely align with what the Democratic-led lawmakers want. As in recent years, lawmakers have proposed raising taxes on the highest-income earners and corporations, which Hochul has rejected in the past. There are divergent approaches to how much to expand the state's child tax credit. And the Senate wants to tailor the governor's idea of sending New Yorkers sales tax rebates—a salve to inflation—to just seniors rather than all taxpayers. Other issues include an expansion of New York's film tax credit program to benefit more independent movies and whether the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's funding needs will disrupt the various tax proposals. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax state editor Benjamin Freed talks with New York correspondent Danielle Muoio Dunn and Bloomberg Government Albany correspondent Zach Williams about the budget process, the political stakes for Hochul ahead of her 2026 re-election campaign, and the odds that lawmakers wrap up the budget by their April 1 deadline—or at least the first night of Passover.

Moderatorin Laura de Weck, Elke Heidenreich, Nina Kunz und – als Gast – der Theater- und Opernregisseur Thom Luz diskutieren über neue Bücher von Sophie Hunger, Christian Kracht, Jakob Hein und Zach Williams. Die Schweizer Sängerin Sophie Hunger ist für ihre tiefgründigen und literarischen Songtexte bekannt. Jetzt hat sie einen Roman geschrieben. In «Walzer für Niemand» geht es um das Erwachsenwerden eines Mädchens, dessen Biografie der von Sophie Hunger ähnelt. Zwischen ihr und einem Jungen besteht eine innige Jugendfreundschaft, die stark von der Leidenschaft für Musik geprägt ist. Romane des Schweizer Autors Christian Kracht werden oft mit Spannung erwartet. Denn stets umgibt sie etwas Geheimnisvolles, Rätselhaftes, das entschlüsselt werden möchte. Das ist im neuen Roman «Air» nicht anders. Ein Innenarchitekt erhält den Auftrag, einen riesigen norwegischen Datenspeicher in Weiss zu gestalten. Dabei verschwindet der Mann und landet in einer Fantasy-Welt. Einen Schelmenroman hat der Berliner Autor und Jugendpsychiater Jakob Hein geschieiben. «Wie Grischa mit einer verwegenen Idee beinahe den Weltfrieden auslöste» erzählt eine verrückte Geschichte um ein wahres Ereignis.1983 gab die Bundesrepublik Deutschland einen Milliardenkredit an die feindliche DDR. Bei Jakob Hein wird daraus eine höchst vergnügliche Geschichte um sehr viel «Medizinalhanf» und dumpfe Bürokratie in Ost und West. Die rätselhaft-beunruhigenden Stories des US-Amerikaners Zach Williams erregen seit ihrem Erscheinen grosse Aufmerksamkeit. Denn sie beschreiben, wie die Wirklichkeit unsicher wird und erinnern damit an die Filme von David Lynch. In einer Zeit, wo langjährige Gewissheiten plötzlich in Frage gestellt werden, wirken diese Kurzgeschichten sehr gegenwärtig. Die Bücher der Sendung sind: • Sophie Hunger: «Walzer für Niemand» (Kiepenheuer & Witsch) • Christian Kracht: «Air» (Kiepenheuer & Witsch) • Jakob Hein: «Wie Grischa mit einer verwegenen Idee beinahe den Weltfrieden auslöste» (Galiani) • Zach Williams: «Es werden schöne Tage kommen» (dtv)

It's often said truth is stranger than fiction, but writer Zach Williams offers a different take – sometimes it's fiction, especially the strange kind, that helps us see the truth more clearly.Williams, a Wilmington Friends School graduate who grew up just outside Wilmington, began his career teaching English to middle and high school students before fatherhood led him to start writing a collection of short fictional stories. He published that collection in his debut book ‘Beautiful Days,' where he explores characters whose lives balance the mundane and strangely surreal in unexpected ways.In this edition of Enlighten Me, Delaware Public Media's Kyle McKinnon is joined by Williams for more on ‘Beautiful Days' and how fiction can unlock deeper truths about our world and ourselves.

I Am Changed (Identity Series)Romans 3:23-24 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.”We have all done things in the past that we are not proud of, and sometimes, we get stuck thinking about those things. We replay them over and over again in our minds and think about how different our lives would be if we had not done them. Some of us think that the things we did were so bad that there is no way God could ever forgive us or love us. Regret is a terrible thing. It sucks the life out of the present moment if you let it. Our minds are powerful, and we will believe what they tell us. We may know in our hearts that God will always forgive us if we truly repent. We know in our hearts that God will always love us no matter what we do and that we do not have to earn his love. However, sometimes, that little voice inside of us will listen to the enemy, and our brain will believe the lies that he tells us. Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The evil one likes to take this phrase and use it to whisper things in our ears like, “See, no one is good enough,” or “No matter what you do, you will always fall short of God's standards.” He tells us that we shouldn't even bother because we are not enough. Do you ever feel that way, like you are not enough? What many of us may not know is what the very next verse, Romans 3:24, says, “Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.” Yes, we all sin, but God's grace “makes us right in his sight.” Another way the enemy likes to get to us is to tell us that we will never change. That we are still the same person who did that thing we regret. If we strive to change, he tells us that we can't change. He reminds us of the things we have done in the past and whispers that we will do it again. There is a song I heard for the first time on the Big Life Devotional, and it is “Slave to Nothing” by Zach Williams. In this song he says:You can tell me what I did
You can show me who I was before
Where I fell short
Hang it over my head
But I'm not the same anymore
One thing's for sure
The shackles have fallen
So I'm showing shame to the door
Make no mistake
I'm a slave, to nothingIf you get a chance to listen to this song, I highly recommend it. click hereJust because you have acted a certain way in the past does not mean that you have to act that way forever. You can decide to repent and change your ways at any point in time, and God will be there to forgive you and welcome you in with open arms. Think about the many saints that have had beginnings that were not so great. One of the most illustrious saints, I think, is St. Augustine of Hippo. He was a man who was known for having not one but two mistresses. He ran around for years before having a change of heart and settling down at 31. St. Augustine went on to become a Doctor of the Church. Then there is also Saint Mary of Egypt, who ran away from home at 12 and spent a dozen years living on the street as a seductress. According to Craughwell in an article in Live Science, “Nothing made her happier than corrupting innocent young Christian men.” Saint Mary went to Jerusalem looking for young Christian boys to seduce. At the doors to the church, she felt a strange force repulsing her, and she immediately changed her ways. There was also Saint Camillus de Lellis, a priest from Italy that founded one of the first healthcare organizations for the needy. He started out as a cardsharp, con man, and mercenary. There are also lots of modern-day examples of people who had a rough start. Jennifer Aniston, who is one of the most famous actors because of her role in the sitcom Friends, had 4 failed sitcoms in a row before she landed the role on Friends. Tim Allen, who starred in Home Improvement, is now starring in Last Man Standing and was also the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story Movies. In 1979, he was caught with many illegal substances and went to jail for over 2 years. Then he got his life together and became the actor we know and love today. Oprah Winfrey grew up in poverty and did not have the best childhood. She was molested during her childhood and early teens and became pregnant at 14; her son was born too early and died in infancy. Can you imagine the things the enemy was trying to tell her? What was he trying to tell all of these people? What if these people would have believed the lies that they could not become anything different? If they believed that the version of themselves that was not enough or prone to sinning was all they could ever be? What if they stopped reaching for more because they believed they could never achieve more? What lies do you believe? How much more could you accomplish or become if you stopped believing the lies? You may have made mistakes in the past. You may wish that you could change certain things. Do not let those things hold you back from being who you are today. Do not believe the lies that you are not enough, lazy, selfish, greedy, etc. Just because you may have been those things in the past does not mean that you have to be those things in the future. You can be whoever you want to be because God has redeemed you with his grace!~ The blog this week was inspired by The Big Life Devotional by Pamela Crim.

Zach Williams is the founding member and frontman for The Lone Bellow, an Americana Folk featuring Zach, Kanene Donehey Pipkin and Brian Elmquist. Best known for their powerhouse vocals and emotive blend of folk, country, and soul, the storied trio exploded onto the scene in 2014 with their self-titled debut, which made a bunch of end-of-year lists and garnered praise from respected outlets like People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and NPR, who lovingly dubbed them an ‘earnest and magnetic folk-pop [trio] built to shake the rafters.'Zach got into songwriting after a personal tragedy—his wife, who was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident, inspired him to channel his grief into music. He'd been writing songs for a few years but the accident pushed him into bolder creative spaces and out into the NYC folk scene. Rockwood Music Hall, a mainstay of many an indie folk musician, played a key early role in Williams' success.  Initially performing as a solo artist, Williams eventually brought in Pipkin and Elmquist, both of whom shared a similar passion for Americana music and storytelling. The trio quickly became a tight-knit unit, blending their diverse influences into a distinctive sound that continues to turn heads a decade later.The Bellow moved to Nashville in 2016, made a bunch more records, and shortly after this taping, performed a live concert with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.Zach and I sat down to talk about the evolution of his music and career, now in its second decade. Among the things I wanted to know was what he —at the outset of his creative journey — imagined a successful career to look like, versus what it eventually became. We touched on those early days, how the music scene has changed with the domination of Spotify and its ilk. He also played one live in the studio.If you're feeling what we do, take a second to like and subscribe. It helps a lot.
