The Night's Agenda

Last night I went into the city for the Purpose For The Pain Tour which featured Between The Trees, Nevertheless, Dan Evans, and a talk from Renee Yohe. Renee is the inspiration To Write Love On Her Arms.

Renee Yohe and Me

I started out the night with an interview with Dan Evans. You may know Dan from Season 5 of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, where he participated with his Mom, Jackie. Dan has a new CD out called Goin All Out, and we talk about The Biggest Loser, the new CD, faith, and a scoop on behind the scenes. That interview will air on this weeks radio show.

Dan Evans rawkin' the stage!

Me with my new friends Dan and Jackie Evans

After Dan’s set, Nevertheless took the stage and brought the rawk playing songs from their latest CD In The Making and played their big hits, Sleeping In and The Real.

AJ and Adam from Nevertheless

Next Up was Renee’s talk. She started with an excerpt from her new book, A Purpose For The Pain, and she shared her life’s testimony in pretty specific detail covering topics from cutting, to be addicted to drugs and alcohol and attempted suicide. She shared about how she would probably not be here today if it were not for some friends of hers that were Christians. Not because they shared Christ with her and she was magically cured of her addictions, but because of the unconditional love they always showed to her. They were with t=her through the toughest of times, and never judged her, they just loved on her and that showed her more than words could ever do.

I was probably the oldest person in the crowd next to a couple of parents that had brought their teens to the show. I was towards the back of the crowd and I noticed that she was really connecting with the kids. I could see kids rubbing their arms where they had been cutting (I can only say that from the girl in front of me who had marks that were apparent to me) and others who were brought to tears. Thank God for Renee and TWLOHA. They are making a great impact to this generation.

Renee Yohe

I really wanted to stay for Between The Trees, but it was getting late and I had a 40 mile drive and get up early for work today. Man, I sound old!

This was a good night of great music and ministry. I only wish that the venue had done more to promote the show. The only way I knew about it was through an email list I am on. You should check this tour out if it comes near you!

I feel as though I am invariably running behind on keeping this blog updated.  My daughter came home from summer camp last week and told me the joke as told in the video above from Pulp Fiction.  I am still working on finalizing both P.D’s and Laura’s interviews from last week.  They should hopefully be online by Wednesday night.

The series of 40 Day Fast interviews have been really great, and have left me in a pretty tough predicament where it gets to be really hard to figure out what should go on the radio show, what should be for podcast, and trying to find music that somewhat ties into the theme of the interview.  I’m working in 2 interviews per week to get as many voices out there during this period of the 40 Day Fast.

On a totally unrelated point, when you go to the grocery store, when you look at the condiment aisle you are likely to see bottles labeled Ketchup and Catsup, which leads to this time tested question,  do you pronounce the condiment as Ketchup (Ketch-Up) or Catsup (Catch-Up)?

 It kind of makes sense to me that they are on T&N, because they are known for signing artists that in my opinion are not “CCM Bands” but rather, they are christians and are solely marketed to the mainstream market.  I struggle with that as I have tried to request interviews with this artist and this artist, and I was politely told that they don’t do interviews with christian media.  Hmm…  

 But I digress.  Children 18:3, also known as David, Seth, and Lee Marie Hostetter put on an impressive high energy rock stage show and are very entertaining with lots of stage movement and a fantastic aerial assault on the drums that makes the 80′s hair metal drummers look like beginners, except maybe Robert Sweet from Stryper.

Their music is straight punk music with driving guitars, booming bass, and very solid drumming.  It is the ultimate in driving, cranked to 11 music.  Lyrically, it is not a spritually deep cd, but I wouldn’t expect it to be.  This is a band that rocks and is something I haven’t seen since poison, a good, visually appealling, high energy party band.  Here’s the video for their new single, All My Balloons.

and also an awesome drum solo!

Those are great reasons for not wanting to be at work. I was so not in to being at work because I had 2 interviews with bloggers that are participating in the 40 Day Fast and I was so excited for these interviews. 1 was with Laura, whose blog I had not read before the fast, but now I am a big fan of. Her heart for the women of the Congo is very inspiring to me, and it shows in the interview.

The second interview was with Brody. Brody’s blog was among the first I had read and I have become hooked. I met Brody last year when I promoted a Shaun Groves concert at my church. That is also when I met Transition Pete. That was a great interview because he has a sincerity in his writing, and in talking with him that is just awesome. He really makes you feel at ease.

You will get to hear these interviews, along with P.D.Ross‘ interview over the next 2 weeks. Be sure to visit the blog on New Music Tuesday for a sneak preview podcast of exclusive audio that will only be heard on the podcast. I have 3 more interviews to record next week, so the coverage of the 40 Day Fast continues all the way to August 1st.

I just wanted to say Thank You to all of the people that have been following the coverage of the 40 Day Fast. It is always encouraging to hear people so passionate about the ministries and outreach organizations that they support that leaves me feeling like we are among a group of people that are being led by the spirit to do great things in the name of God. I am so blessed to be able to use my radio show and podcast to help you know a little more about these great people of God!

1.  My Random Thoughts, Thomas talks about his faith and commentary on life.  His was among the first blogs I read.  Thomas is also a great supporter of my radio shows.  You should go and check him out!!

2.  P. D. Ross from his personal blog and Jesus Greater Than.  I met P.D. through the 40 Day Fast, and have an interview with him for next weeks show.  He is also the official sponsor of the podcast.

3. Inspired To Action is the website for the 40 day Fast, of which I am blogging on July 8.

4. Mercy Me was kind enough to make a S.L.O.B of me and add me to the slobroll.  Be sure to check out the cover tunes grab bag.  It is the most original and funny series of videos ever.  They raise the bar for awesomeness every time.

To the best of my knowledge, those are the only blogs linking to me at this time.  Maybe next time Brody does this I will have a better idea.  Have a great 4th of July!

Tune in to www.fcac.org/webr at 2:00 Eastern to hear the show in its entirety. The full interview will be posted on the Cross Driven Radio website later that night. There are more interviews to come with bloggers participating in this years 40 Day fast including some that will be podcast exclusives.

On the theme of the 40 Day Fast, this show will be different than any that I have done before. Something is happening within me that I can’t quite put a finger on. I am feeling compelled to serve in ways that I had never dreamed of. One thing I do know is that I will share it here. As a new blogger, I know that I have very little traffic across the site now, but I pray that maybe it is here for 1 person to see and be inspired to do great things through what the spirit says through me whether it is on the radio or on this blog. Here is a story about what happened with a group who went to the Oglala reservation at Pine Ridge. Yes, that is where the battle of Wounded Knee took place.

In my life, it has always been amazing to me how much God will do with just a mustard seed of faith.  There have been numerous instances that I can point to where I have felt God leading me in a certain direction, and when I obeyed and followed that path it was amazing to me the blessings that came from it.

The one in particular for today’s post is about Radio.  I am a shy and somewhat introverted person, not the typical person you would expect to be a boss radio jock.  So much so, that when people hear me on the radio they can hardly believe that I am the same person.  The story of how I got into radio is on the ABOUT CDR page on the blog.

Since I started the show over 3 years ago, I have had several opportunities given to me that I never expected.  From getting music provided by record labels to going to GMA Week and talking about fishing with my friend Eric from Decemberadio, to riding an elevator with Rush of Fools and watching them laugh when I told them my worship leader couldn’t get UNDO out of his head.  Oh man, Keith is going to kill me if he ever sees this.  The point I’m trying to make is that a quiet, mild mannered cable guy could be doing these things is amazing to me.

Recently, I had been getting somewhat frustrated with radio because I have had a hard time building a larger audience and it just wasn’t happening.  I must say though that I do have some very loyal friends from the show like Cristy, Thomas, and of course Nancy.  But, in that frustration, I still had hope and a desire to serve the Lord through radio.  It was then that I was offered a spot voice tracking the Friday night show on Renegade Radio in Reno.  That filled me up and revived my passion for radio.

And then, last night I did an interview that took that passion to another level and opened another door.  You can look at my previous post to hear about meeting one of my blogging heroes and sources of inspiration.  I am 10 days away from my time to blog for the 40 Day Fast, and do I have a story to tell.  If you want to have your heart broken, and then filled up with hope and inspiration for what just 1 person can do to make a positive impact is someone life somewhere in the world, then I encourage you to follow the stories shared in the 40 Day Fast.

When we all put our mustard seeds together, the world will become a better place for our children to inherit. More importantly, that would mean that we will have turned our collective faith in God to bring HIM glory and that we as a generation are living for HIM.  I think Jared Anderson says it pretty well!

Eowyn’s Silent Screams CD is really good.  I like it more every time I listen to it.   I noticed this before with other people, but it is always interesting to me how when you meet a singer, sometimes their singing voice is not much different than their speaking voice.

  Shaun Groves,  Bart Millard, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow and Dolly Parton are a couple of examples off the top of my head that would fit into the singing voice is similar to the speaking voice category.  But then you get Eowyn,  Sara Acker, and Marc Martel who’s singing voices are different than the speaking voices.  I love and have great respect for all of those artists, but it is just something I have observed.

Here is a video of Eowyn to get you ready for tomorrows show.  CIAO!
