Plus, if you're in the mood for some hot Christians and hot takes, this show HAS them.

Plus, Jesse gives an extremely in-depth update on the lady with the sign outside of his office, at the end we have your feedback and a lot more.

Today we're joined by worship leader Chris McClarney! It's a great conversation covering everything from the importance of theological accuracy when writing worship music to how badly the Church needs joy again. Plus, after Jesse gets some Aldi frustration off his chest, the crew brings Slices — from the stress Gen Z is feeling this week about the tax deadline, to some unexpected celebrity pastor kids, to the new show coming from Tim Robinson and Adam McKay. And at the end of the show we have a fresh round of Table Topics!

Today we're joined by innovative worship collective Elevation Rhythm! Plus, while Derek is in LA pitching some new music projects, Marty for some reason lets it leak that he thinks everyone over 40 only listens to the Gaithers (which doesn't go over well), and then Jesse starts advocating for some major changes to the concert-going experience (which does go over well). Plus, Emily brings the week's RELEVANT Buzz, covering the new Mike Todd movie, the Nickelodeon scandal, and some crazy niche Bibles that, yes, are very, very real. And at the end of the show, we have your online outrage feedback!
