Episode 13: Pursuing Joy with Lonnie McFadden (Kansas City Jazz Legend)
I am so excited about our special guest for this episode- Lonnie McFadden. If you live in Kansas City – you SHOULD know his name! Lonnie is a Kansas City Jazz Legend & trumpeter. He is one of the most joy-filled people I have ever met so of course I needed him to join the show to infuse that joy into us all as well. He is so talented, has an expansive knowledge of the history behind Kansas City jazz, and is a man of God. In this episode, Lonnie shares with us how discipline impacted his life, we dive into his personal musical history, how he has pursued joy in his life, through jazz music, and how God has remained faithful to him. He is a fantastic man, full of joy and I pray that as you listen to this episode his joy extends to you!
We Discuss:
- How self-discipline and motivation have played a vital part in his life and career, starting at a young age
- Lonnie's personal musical career overview
- Lonnie's pursuit of joy, through jazz music has allowed him to use his calling to glorify God and love others in such a joy-filled way
- God's faithfulness throughout his life
- Find encouragement on how we can set aside personal problems and struggles in order to shift our focus to loving others even when surrounding circumstances are difficult.
From Lonnie's personal WEBSITE:
"Lonnie and his brother Ronald McFadden (The McFadden Brothers) have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in show business. Wayne Newton, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Orlando, Lee Greenwood, Gladys Knight and The Count Basie Orchestra are just some of the great entertainers they have had the pleasure of working with. The McFadden Brothers have also performed for all types of audiences including a very special 2004 USO tour to Kuwait and Iraq for our troops."
