Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, March 22, 2021 • Duration 01:10:27

Nick talks with Temitope about the struggles of being in the “middle space” as an artist, his new “Meji” EP, and the beauty of embracing ourselves as God made us to be. Temitope shares about the peculiarities of growing up in America as a non-African American black man, approaching conversations with a heart truly bent toward Gospel reconciliation, and what it looks like to trust Jesus when we’re tempted to be envious.

He describes his music as “horizontal worship” in hopes that it mobilizes the Church to love well, especially those that are different than us.

Andy Squyres - Respecting the Listener, Creative Sustainability, & the Antithesis of K-Love

Season 1 · Episode 5

Monday, March 8, 2021 • Duration 01:09:42

Nick talks with Andy Squyres about his new record “Poet Priest,” creative sustainability, and “respecting the listener.” The two talk about Andy’s lyrical and musical influences for the new record, pursuing music as a family man, and what it looks like to have faith in a culture increasingly critical of evangelical Christianity.

Andy Squyres is a pastor and songwriter from North Carolina.
