The guitar skills, the fame, the looks, the charisma . . . it sure seems like John Mayer’s got it all, and he’s widely regarded as one of the best musicians and songwriters ever. But his lyrics reflect a yearning for something more and a desire to repair the harm of past indiscretions. Recording artist BT & the King (aka Brian Wilson) joins us to unpack the heart of life with help from John’s music. Some highlights include:

Mike’s mediocre guitar skilz

What is maturity?

The opposite of love?

Jesus the assassin? Jesus the Seducer?

- The desire for the light

- The freedom of repentance

- Fake holiness

- What Church leaders can learn from rock stars

- Loving difficult people

- Mike’s mediocre relationship skilz

- The cheat code to breaking generational curses- Depression and chronic pain

- The radioactive cross of Christ

- failed dreams and disillusionment

- Does the Church create saints or demons?

- The key to intimacy

- Is life what you make or is it up to fate?

- the bravery of quitting

- The most offensive thing ever

- and of course, Mike singing songs out of his range
