When it comes to breaking into Christian music, pop artist Sean BE/Sean Rodriguez has it all: catchy hooks, honest lyrics, high energy…and a healthy appreciation for Veggie Tales. As a former Children's Pastor, Sean has a passion for the younger generation, but the slick sounds of his latest single, “Step In To My story,” show that he has a fortitude that will cross age barriers. Sean talks to Jess about wrestling with pride, how God repurposes our past for good – and they duke it out over the best silly song with Larry.

Elias Dummer doesn't pull punches when it comes to living out his faith. Best known for his work with The City Harmonic, his solo career has set him on a global trajectory with songs like "Expectation" charting in more than 30 countries. But as Elias tells Jess, he won't record music if he doesn't have something necessary to say. In his crowdfunded album "The Work Volume 2" Elias shows that he still contains multitudes – grappling with the Church's love of power, sex, money and politics. All up, asking us to reconsider what worship and justice truly look like. This is a conversation we need in 2022.

Meet the Wood Drake sessions. Comprised of musicians and ministers Paul Ranheim and Kirk Sauers, the long-time friends began songwriting over Zoom during COVID-19. And what began as long conversations reflecting on the chaos and pain in the world turned into music – an attempt to reorient their hearts towards God and find what was good and beautiful in the world. Jess chats to Paul and Kirk about their crowdfunded album, "From The Valley To the Golden Shore," and what it means to write music for the church that addresses Biblical truths like justice and equity.
