Neal Morse is a singer, musician, and composer based in Nashville. He is a founding member of Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Yellow Matter Custard, Flying Colors, and The Neal Morse Band.

In 2002 Neal became a Christian through an amazing story that he will share on this episode! Encouraged by a friend to begin writing progressive rock concept albums based on Scripture (think, Jesus Christ Superstar) Neal began releasing albums like Testimony 1&2, Sola Scriptura, Jesus Christ the Exorcist, and The Dreamer: Joseph - Pt. 1. A fantastic concept album that perfectly tells the story of one of the Old Testaments greatest characters!

On January 12 he will release The Restoration: Joseph - Pt. Two!

We will also discuss Morsefest. A concert event in London that will be taking place on January 12 - 13!

Special thanks to my good friend, Nick Bogovich for connecting me to Neal. I walked away from this conversation inspired and excited about what God is doing through Neal Morse's music!

Ep. 38 | Mark Koch | Hollywood Producer & Christ Follower Shares His Amazing Testimony

February 19, 2024

Mark W.Koch found himself at the top of the entertainment world when Lost In Space (1998), a movie he produced knocked Titanic out of the top spot and became the number 1 movie in the country. Not long after his next movie, Black Dog (starring Patrick Swayze) moved into the Top 5 movies, giving him two movies at the top of the charts in the same week! He had it all. Houses, Cars, Fame, Recognition...and he had the ego to match it all. That's when his family began to fall apart...and the Holy Spirit stepped in. Mark will share his amazing testimony of coming to Christ, and then following the lead of the Holy Spirit to dedicate The First Hour of every day to Jesus through reading the Bible, praying, and going deeper in his relationship with the Lord. Mark is now one a mission to get every man he meets to dedicate The First Hour of their day to Jesus, and he's written a book to give men the road map!

Ep. 36 | Mitch Davis | On Conversion to Christ, Growing Up in Maui, and The Devastating Fires

February 5, 2024

Mitch Davis is my guest on this week's podcast. I first met Mitch in my pastors group known as Fishbowl Ministries. He is a preacher at Franklin Church of Christ and has served in that role for 14 years. He has almost 30 years experience in ministry. We discuss his conversion to Christ and his childhood growing up in Maui, Hawaii. Which naturally leads into a discussion of the devastating wildfires that swept through Maui in August 2023. Mitch will give some accounts of what took place and ways that people can still help now that the event is no longer in the news.
