I had the privilege of interviewing Calvin Arsenia, a Kansas City based musician, singer, songwriter, and performer. He also started a podcast in 2020 with his friend, Comedian Justin Randall. Calvin grew up in the church and was a worship leader in his early years. He is extraordinarily talented and unique. While he plays several instruments, his primary instrument is the harp. He has also spent time in classical vocal training. What’s amazing about Calvin is his ability to brilliantly embody multiple musical genres. His music videos are multilayered works of art and so are his performances. In my first interview with Calvin, we talk about his podcast, We Were Christian Kids. In this episode we talk about his musical career and he plays his song "Cantaloupe".

It was so fun to see everyone at our first event—It’s Friday! This podcast is the Good Friday talk I gave. I was super nervous because I hadn’t spoke in front of an audience for over two years, but felt so good to be among grace-filled people. It felt very natural once I began my talk. It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming!

Harmony Eccles is a friend, artist, musician, wife, and mother who lives in Berlin, Germany. I have always loved her paintings. She recently released a series of paintings and reflections under the title “Creative Lament.” It was her way of processing grief, loss, and hope, and I immediately fell in love with this series. In this podcast, we talk about her paintings and reflections in “Creative Lament.” If you watch the video of the interview, you will be able to see some of her work.

In the this podcast episode, I interview Nate Allen. Nate is a husband, father, friend, mystic, writer, and songsmith based in Kansas City, who has been touring the US since 2004. He toured a punk rock band for a decade, Destroy Nate Allen, and his newest endeavor is Good Saint Nathaniel. The project debut, Hide No Truth, has been hailed by critics as “an introspective masterwork” (IDIOTEQ) and “an earnest, melancholic, and impossible to forget album” (SpinDitty). Nate grew up in a challenging Christian environment which included various forms of spiritual abuse and workaholism. His lyrics dive deep into his journey of disillusionment and hope. In addition to his singing and songwriting career, he is currently studying to become a licensed therapist.

In this podcast, I am interviewing my niece-in-law, Lauren Hawkins. Lauren is a graduate of the University of Kansas, and she earned her master’s degree in speech pathology at Rockhurst University. She is also the founder of Lala Inspired, a photography/videography company. The favorite part of her speech pathology work is hearing the stories of her elderly patients. She decided to help families capture the treasured family stories on video. Storytelling through video is one of the best ways to preserve a spiritual legacy for your family.
