Today, Jason is interviewing Chris McCane of Becoming the Archetype as he discusses the mission field he serves in as part of the band. Playing a lot of shows in bars & secular scenes has provided them with a considerable amount of opportunities to share Christ with a variety of different people, many of whom do not profess Christ. You'll also hear how the band's choice of serving in a predominantly secular atmosphere comes with its fair share of temptations and trials. Above all else, find out what means the most to the band as you listen today.
Today, Jason is interviewing Josh Kirk, the drummer of The Museum, a band all about changing our nation and standing up for what's right. As you listen, you'll hear about how they actively support Not For Sale, a non-profit group from San Francisco that fights human trafficking & slavery. The band is named after the Revolution Museum in Romania, which tells of a small group of Christians who overthrew communism in their country in 1989. Their latest single, "Solid Ground," describes how Christ sustains us through the storms in our lives. Be encouraged to be the hands & feet of Jesus as you live your life for Him this week.
“God’s not in love with a future version of you. He’s in love with the current version of you.”

This week, Jason is at the Sonshine Festival hanging out with Tobin, the lead vocalist & guitarist of the celtic punk band, Flatfoot 56. Tobin briefly talks about their new record, “Toil,” as well as their summer tour. Jason & Tobin discuss several things in this series, but most of all, how God remains faithful despite life’s trials. He works by taking everything you’ve done and giving you results you can’t explain, so that only He can get the credit for them. Later on in this series, you'll get a glimpse at understanding the biblical mandate of what true love without an agenda really means. As you listen, you’ll learn how God’s not interested in your comfort, but instead in your character. Our hope is that you'll be encouraged by God's faithfulness regardless of where you are in life.

"Souls adrift in separate seas experience same rescue.”
Joe Kissack, author of The Fourth Fisherman, discusses how growing up in a performance-based environment conditions people to believe their value is based on their performance. Driven by a strong work ethic, Joe became very successful. He was an executive vice president who drove a sports car and lived in a big house with a nice family. However, material success did not bring satisfaction and Joe was very discontent with his life. Joe couldn’t understand why he wasn’t satisfied when he had “everything.” To cope with his deep emptiness he abused alcohol and eventually reached a point of wanting to take his life.
The night before checking himself into a mental hospital, a friend talked to him about Jesus. Joe accepted Christ as his Lord and savior. He discovered a new sense of peace and joy. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit moves people away from darkness and toward light. If you are struggling with life issues, marital issues, financial issues, or any difficult moment in your life, this is a message of encouragement you need to hear. Circumstances change but God never changes. Purchase Joe's book "The Fourth Fisherman" >>
