Our Season Four Premier features David Leonard, half of the singing duo, All Sons & Daughters. They are known for writing songs that focus squarely on Jesus while embracing the tension of the Christian walk.

David was kind enough to join us while All Sons & Daughters is on tour. He and his singing partner, Leslie Jordan, recently released their latest studio album, Poets & Saints, a collection of songs that was born more like a soundtrack from a pilgrimage to Europe.

In this episode, David discusses how he got started in music, when All Sons & Daughters was born, his musical influences, his songwriting process and more!

"Greater" by Steven Furtick

Today's episode features Dustin Coble, the Design Director at Victory Tulsa. Dustin was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma on a steady diet of Star Wars, Sooner Football, and the musical stylings of Otis Redding & Johnny Cash. At the age of 18, he discovered the magical world of graphic design, and hasn’t looked back since. He is a multidisciplinary designer and creative with experience in both church ministry and corporate worlds and is passionate about seeing creativity and the arts thrive in the church today. In today's episode, we discuss a wide variety of topics, including: What does a typical work week look like? How can constraints actually help creativity? And much, much more.

Marty Taylor is Arts Director at Church on the Move in Tulsa, OK. He is an award-winning creative director and producer with 25 years of experience in design, television, theater and creative church ministry. His career has given him opportunity as both an artist and a technician and provided unique perspective into both worlds and how they can thrive in harmony together. He's passionate about developing artists and technicians to create excellence and innovation through the church. Marty has been married for 20 years and has 3 children, whom he believes are his finest production yet. 

In today's episode, we discuss topics such as maintaining a creative culture, developing and leading a team, and what is next for Church as a whole, creatively speaking.

Today's mini-episode focuses on some of the tools there are to manage social media accounts. This is by no means a comprehensive list of tools, but these are a couple of the tools I have come to use on a daily basis. The need to manage social media accounts in the church is at an all-time high, and likely not to disperse anytime soon.

Today's show featured author Tim Willard. Tim is a popular writer and emerging C.S. Lewis scholar. He co-authored the critically acclaimed Veneer: Living Deeply in a Surface Society (2011, Zondervan/Q Books), and Home Behind the Sun: Connect with God in the Brilliance of the Everyday (2014, Thomas Nelson), and authored the devotional Longing For More: Daily Refections on Finding God in the Rhythms of Life (Bethany House, 2014), and his recently released children's book Shine So Bright (White Rabbit Press, 2015). 

In this episode, we discuss a variety of topics including collaboration, writing, beauty and the journey that took Tim and his family from Atlanta, GA to Oxford, England, back to Charlotte, NC.
