| Vol. 104 - Empty by Tait | 04 Sep 2024 | 02:28:24 | |
We’re kicking off Solo September with Empty by Tait. Interestingly, Michael Tait was the only DC Talk member to form a group instead of going the full solo artist route. Will we be Bonded with his debut “solo” record, or will it seem like things are coming Unglued? One thing is certain. We won’t find ourselves at a Loss For Words either way.

| Vol. 24 - Wide Eyed by Nichole Nordeman | 28 Sep 2022 | 02:17:21 | |
Our guest this week, Sarah Dickard, excitedly brings Nichole Nordeman’s 1998 debut record to our attention, which led to a number of stunning flop and bop twists and turns…this episode made CJN history, so don’t sleep on it! Along the way, Kylan connects Nichole to Seinfeld, and we discuss French pop band Air, Weezer’s broadway show, and Nichole’s rap-adjacent lyrical stylings. Witness the rest of the gang repeatedly ruining Kylan’s attempt at a perfect transition, enjoy his bonkers ‘Amazon review’ game, and find out if ballads are for 8 year olds.

| Vol. 23 - Truthless Heroes 20th Anniversary w/Steven Dail | 21 Sep 2022 | 01:25:08 | |
This week we have something totally new for Church Jams Now: our first artist interview! Steven Dail from Project 86 graciously joins us to discuss their 2002 record, Truthless Heroes, in honor of its 20th anniversary. We also discuss his involvement with Starflyer 59, Neon Horse, and White Lighter. Steven even reveals some exciting things on the horizon for multiple projects he’s involved with. It was a fascinating conversation, and Josh could barely contain himself from fanboying the entire time. | |||
| Vol. 22 - The Question by Emery | 07 Sep 2022 | 01:59:06 | |
This week the CJN Crew tackles what many people believe is the best Emery record. 2005’s The Question. This is possibly the most agreeable Volume to date. We discuss Emery being the "Thinking Man's Screamo" and try to answer “the question” of how how to produce this album as a staged Rock Opera.

| Vol. 21 - Silverline EP by Anberlin | 31 Aug 2022 | 00:45:56 | |
We're back again with another EP and a brand new EP at that! Anberlin's recently released Silverline is their first release in 8 years so we figured we'd give it the official CJN treatment. We've got some strong thoughts on the artwork, and something about Anberlin seems to bring out the puns in our discussion. Listen in and let us know if there's Nothing Lost on our assessments, or if we end up just talking ourselves in Circles. | |||
| Vol. 20 - Only Visiting This Planet by Larry Norman | 24 Aug 2022 | 02:02:06 | |
Get ready to deep dive into Larry Norman's 1972 album 'Only Visiting This Planet' with the CJN Crew. When Josh first suggested this album we were all kind of leery of it, but boy is it 100% worth it. From inspiring one of the greatest alt rock bands of the 80's to being an early adopter of punk music, Larry Norman was the godfather of "Christian" music and well worth a deep dive. Tuck in your polyester shirt, make sure your bell bottoms are starched, and join us in Vol. 20 of Church Jams Now!

| Vol. 19 - Are We All Forgotten EP by Paper Route | 10 Aug 2022 | 01:19:35 | |
We've got a quick one this week folks! In this episode the CJN Crew covers Kylan's first wishlist album, which turned out to be a 5 song EP! It was fun getting into early 2000's indie music, and spoiler! Kylan got COVID between Part A and B, so that tonal change is fun!
Keep a look out later this week for a jam packed "If You Like This" Spotify Playlist.
Let us know in the comments whether Are We All Forgotten is a flop or a bop, or if you even remember this EP | |||
| Vol. 18 - Bless The Martyr, Kiss The Child by Norma Jean | 30 Jul 2022 | 02:36:53 | |
To finish out our Month of Metal we brought resident metalhead Joe Cutler in to talk about Norma Jean's first record Bless The Martyer, Kiss The Child. Unfortunately TJ couldn't join us for Part B but it was still a blast. Also is this the only conversation about Norma Jean where Tony Bennett and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood are mentioned? I think so.
Let us know if Bless The Martyr is a flop or a bop for you!

| Vol. 17 - Fireproof by Pillar | 14 Jul 2022 | 01:55:41 | |
For our first Volume in our "Month of Metal" we're going all the way back to 2002 to cover the nu metal album Fireproof by Pillar! This is one of Beautiful Producer Josh's wishlist albums, and man is it a wild ride. Heads up Kylan kinda loses it a little bit. Thanks for checking out Church Jams Now! Let us know if Fireproof is a flop or a bop for you! | |||
| Vol. 16 - Thrive by Newsboys | 01 Jul 2022 | 02:06:54 | |
This week our new friend Sydney Davis Jr. Jr. (Growing Up Fundie, Second City, Third Coast Comedy) joins us to talk about the 2002 Newsboys album Thrive. There's lots of tattoos in inappropriate places, centuars, and action movies! Also if you haven't checked it out we guested on HER podcast Growing Up Fundie. You can listen to it here! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growing-up-fundie-ep-22-church-jams-now-a-special-surprise/id1602008078?i=1000566700334
Trust me, you're gonna want to listen to them close together. We recorded all of them in the span of a few days and there's lots of references and inside jokes shared between the two!
Let us know what you think of the episode and whether Thrive was a flop or a bop for you! | |||
| Vol. 15 - Define The Great Line by Underoath | 16 Jun 2022 | 02:21:15 | |
The writing is on the wall folks. You know it was only a matter of time until the CJN Crew covered the genre-defining Define The Great Line by Underoath. Our great friend Jonathan Hoogendoorn joins us to discuss it and honestly, There Could Be Nothing After This... | |||
| Vol. 96 - Cruel To Be Young by Jonezetta w/Ty Garvey, Kyle Howe & Aaron Sprinkle | 19 Jun 2024 | 02:41:52 | |
Junezetta continues with Cruel To Be Young! We’re joined once again by Ty Garvey & Kyle Howe from Jonezetta to cover their sophomore record. We also have a surprise visit from producer Aaron Sprinkle to share why this record is so special. Cruel To Be Young may not have been a commercial success, but we're here to spread the word on what is arguably one of the most underrated records ever released on Tooth & Nail. | |||
| Vol. 14 - To Hell With The Devil by Stryper | 02 Jun 2022 | 02:14:42 | |
The CJN Crew goes back in time a little further than usual with the 1986 heavy metal album To Hell With The Devil by Styper. We couldn't think of a better guest than music critic and metalhead Aaron Cooper from The Crushed Monocle Podcast. We talk metal in general, the goofiness of metal lyrics, sweet guitar solos, and Kylan may have been going through something and taking it out on a member of Stryper.
Language Content Warning: Kylan goes a little off the rails! | |||
| Vol. 13 - Some Kind Of Zombie by Audio Adrenaline | 19 May 2022 | 01:51:59 | |
Welcome to the wild wacky weird multiverse of Church Jams Now! In this Volume the CJN Crew digs into Audio Adrenaline's 1997 album "Some Kind of Zombie" and boy does it get crazy. Listen to TJ's Some Kind Of Zombie Apocalypse screenplay, find out which song Kylan apparently thinks has the sweetest bass of any song we've covered so far, and Beautiful Producer Josh valiantly tries to keep us on the rails.

Faith Rugen of the Enjoy The Sass podcast joins the CJN Crew to do a deep on MercyMe's 2001 album Almost There. Not gonna lie, it goes off the rails fast! TJ enters the multiverse, Kylan starts a psychedelic rock band, and "I Can Only Imagine" why MercyMe singer Bart Millard joins the chat and has a problem with Josh.
Follow Faith's podcast Enjoy The Sass and listen to the episode the CJN guys guest on! | |||

In Vol. 9 of CJN, the crew brings back the early 2000's pop punk vibe with Say It Loud by Sanctus Real. They discuss the possibility that the album art is out of this world, and whether it's a secret Christmas album.

| Vol. 6 - Alien Youth by Skillet | 10 Feb 2021 | 01:26:39 | |
The aliens have landed! The CJN Crew covers the 2001 album Alien Youth by Skillet and it is a ride. TJ and Kylan figure out who does the best John Cooper impression. Willow gives plenty of thoughts on Earth Invasion. TJ brings the philosophy jams with a new segment “Professor Philosopher’s Conceptual Corner” and Kylan talks about E-bow a lot? For some reason?

| Bonus! If You Like This Then... | 04 Feb 2021 | 00:22:32 | |
“If You Like This, Then…” On this very special *bonus* episode, TJ and Kylan share a sneak peek of the Patreon experience! Patrons at the $5 level get ongoing access to these exclusive episodes and themed playlists, which are thoughtfully curated based on the albums that are covered in the main feed every week. Every installment of “If You Like This, Then…” includes links to both playlists (below), and the episode features a track by track breakdown, in which the dudes share their playlists with each other (it’s like music-nerd Christmas!), and explain how they made each song choice. Is it a vibe? A lyric? A unique production sensibility, or a car commercial? The connective potential in music is diverse, often bizarre, and always fascinating! So, if this piques your interest, and you NEED more CJN in your life, check us out on Patreon (link below). This week on “IYLTT”: Sixpence None The Richer! As we draw back the curtain with this more laid-back conversation, you’ll learn which pop diva Kylan loves waaay too much, and for a fun drinking game: take a sip of your kombucha every time TJ says “theatrical”. And let us know what you think of our playlists, and/or if you can make a better one! Thanks for listening, Jammers!

| Vol. 5 - Until This Shakes Apart by Five Iron Frenzy (Part 2) | 29 Jan 2021 | ||
And now we conclude our 2-part episode on the newest Five Iron Frenzy record “Until This Shakes Apart”. The CJN Crew finishes up going through the album and share their initial thoughts. TJ talks about why we’re disconnected online, Kylan shares an embarrassing youth group story, and ‘producer extraordinaire’ Josh keeps the guys on track (somewhat) If you like what you hear, please rate, review, subscribe, and follow!

| Vol. 5 - Until This Shakes Apart by Five Iron Frenzy (Part 1) | 21 Jan 2021 | 00:36:42 | |
In Part 1 of this (less ‘traditional’) volume, Kylan & TJ are joined once again by their good buddy and resident ‘church-pew-expert’, Josh Olson, to unwrap the oh-so-fresh 2021 record from Five Iron Frenzy: Until This Shakes Apart! Since they just covered FIF’s Our Newest Album Ever in volume 3, the dudes thought it was only fitting to jump back in the ska saddle again. But this time, it’s personal...I mean...political. In Part 1, newly crowned ‘producer extraordinaire’ (Josh) orders 100,000 business cards, we learn about Kylan’s song title envy (Auld Lanxiety!?), TJ outs himself as a ‘skank-tastic’ reggae-ska fan, and they all try to find the words to properly unpack the overwhelmingly angry political beatdown (😉) that Reese and the band have created to sonically dropkick our ears, hearts, and minds.

| Vol. 3 - Our Newest Album Ever! by Five Iron Frenzy | 07 Jan 2021 | 01:53:56 | |
Hey Jammers! Kylan and TJ are in rare form on this third volume, in which they consider Our Newest Album Ever!, by upbeat, slap-happy ska machine: Five Iron Frenzy. Should you pick it up, pick it up, pick it up? Or should this album remain hidden away in the history books of the mid-90s ska-naissance (or the brain of an overly caffeinated middle-schooler)? Is “Oh, Canada” racist? Does this album contain any sweet, sweet bass? Grab your trumpet, and get on this skawesome ride, as we nerd out about the relatable lyricism of this “band’s band”, unpack Kylan’s critique of jokey ‘skit’ tracks, over-contextualize the word ‘context’, and make the ultimate decree (lol) on its flop-or-boppery! We even turn the album on its head, to interesting results: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0HnCQCDlijPYkN6BZQAJLH?si=jPWt4FQdShmElVHk_D0KGQ Let us know what you think of Kylan’s Alternative Tracklist, and tell us how right or wrong we are about this album!

| Vol. 2 - Take Me To Your Leader by Newsboys | 30 Dec 2020 | 02:07:07 | |
What the heck is a PK? What would a Newsboys/Sia concert sound like? Which song was Kylan’s angry jam when he was 8 years old? Is Steve Taylor the secret mastermind behind 90’s alternative Christian music? We answer these questions and more this week as TJ and Kylan are joined by their super rad friend Josh Olson to talk about the weirdness that is Take Me To Your Leader by Newsboys.

We’re taking a Joyride through our Bop 10 by The Wedding, and we roped in Cody Driggers to join us. It may have been a little unfair asking Cody to pick his top 10 songs from his own band without assigning The Lesser Worth to the rest of their catalog. But In The End, he came through. Cody may be known for his burgers, but he’s serving up juicy nuggets this whole episode. | |||

Lookout for Part 2 where we go track-by-track through the record. | |||
| Vol. 89 - Listen Closely by Smalltown Poets w/Kevin Breuner | 10 Apr 2024 | 02:25:15 | |
We’re joined by Kevin Breuner of Smalltown Poets to cover their sophomore record, Listen Closely. Following up a hit debut record is never easy, and Kevin provides a firsthand account for all the band encountered going into this record.
