Mumford & Sons have been our most requested/suggested episode and we are finally doing it! Nashville recording artist Ricky Vazquez of Village Lights (who were just nominated for a Dove award) joins us to discuss the lyrics and music of the neo-folk rock giants. We go pretty deep as we discuss: - The struggles of being a young man - Sex, passion, intimacy, chastity, love, & romance - The necessity of desire for hope - Facing darkness & suffering - The search for God & meaning - Plato, St Augustine, & Pope Benedict
