Author, speaker, blogger and podcast-favorite Jon Acuff joins us this week as a guest co-host. We love it when Jon does a podcast with us, and this week we even get him to play against a listener in a “basketball-themed” game. We also introduce you to one of our favorite new hip-hop collectives, Portland’s Beautiful Eulogy. You might already be familiar with them as they produced Propaganda‘s last album, but their debut solo album, Satellite Kite, is a lyrical and musical achievement you definitely don’t want to miss out on. Oh, and did you know that you can download it for free? A free podcast AND a free album? You’re welcome…

Who else would you like to see guest-host this podcast?

We love it when Jon Acuff comes on to guest-host the podcast with us, but it got us thinking about other potential guest-hosts. So this week we want to know who else you would like to see come on and guest-host the RELEVANT Podcast with us. And don’t just give us names, but tell us why you would like them to guest-host and, in the event they agree to come on, what we should do with them.

This week we talk to author and pastor Jonathan Martin about his new book, Prototype. The book creates a vivid understanding of what it means to be loved by God, and the conversation will leave you wanting to hear more (which you can if you listen to the complete, unedited interview below). We also introduce you to guitar-shredding-indie-rocker Marnie Stern, debate the legitimacy of Kickstarter and give our suggestions for summer movies you HAVE to see (Fast & Furious 6 anyone??)…

This week we spotlight worship leader and former Delirious? frontman Martin Smith. He has a new solo album out (God’s Great Dance Floor, Step 01) and he shares with us his heart for God and these new songs he’s created. We also talk to innovation leader Bobby Gruenewald. As part of the LifeChurch.tv team, Bobby helped create the YouVersion Bible App, which has been downloaded over 90 million times! And we unveil a new theme (and theme song) for our summer, which includes a Jesse Carey singalong. Let’s just say we now understand why Jesse is a writer and not a singer…
