So let me get this straight, all these years and we’re covering Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin for its 20th anniversary. This record holds a special place in fans’ hearts, and we’re here to see where it lands on the scale between A Heavy Hearted Work of Staggering Genius and a Symphony of Blasé. Of course, we have to get into the original vs. the re-recording of Feel Good Drag. These thoughts run through our heads over and over, but we never take podcasts personal.

We’re Tracing The Grid of Phoenix by Pedro The Lion. Our research intern nephew and patron, Dawson Westfall, joins us to cover David Bazan’s return to his full band moniker. We’ve established David is a masterful storyteller, and we’re embarking upon his own story told through the first of five records about the places he grew up. We’ll see how we feel by the time we’re Leaving The Valley.

2024 was an amazing year at CJN, and we're taking some time to reflect on our annual wrap-up. We discuss our top moments from the year, favorite and least favorite records, and issue a formal apology to one of the members of DC Talk. We continue our yearly tradition of bop/flop revisions, and Drawing Black Lines is desperately looking for redemption. Thanks for an amazing year, and we're looking forward to what 2025 has in store!

The winter solstice is almost upon us, and things have gotten cold, meteorologically and metaphorically. We’re continuing our journey through Jon Foreman’s Seasons EPs with Winter. The season is quite stark at times, but Jon might have hidden the lynchpin to this entire project deep in the snow for us to uncover.

So look at us now. It’s finally Christmas and we’re covering Let It Snow Baby… Let It Reindeer by Relient K. We bruised our hands decking the halls last year, and now we’re discussing Relient K’s sprawling 2007 Christmas record. We’re not sure whether to call this a reissue or a compilation, but we won’t let that technicality keep us In Like A Lion. From all of us here at Church Jams Now, Merry Christmas, here’s to many more!

We’re back with another episode of Dial M For Martin covering the new Starflyer 59 record, Lust For Gold. Jason has returned to his long-awaited monochromatic sound on his seventeenth LP, despite feeling like his lust for gold has gotten him nowhere. We’ll be the judge of that.
