For this Throwback Thursday episode, we revisit Episode 95 from March of 2022, when Jon Foreman of Switchfoot joined the podcast to discuss the writing and recording of the band’s 2003 breakout hit, “Meant to Live.” Exploring themes of existential longing and the search for meaning, the song became an anthem that resonated deeply with fans and propelled Switchfoot into the mainstream. Jon shared fascinating insights into the creative process, the song’s inspiration, and the band’s journey during a pivotal moment in their career. A thoughtful and engaging storyteller, Jon’s reflections on life, art, and purpose make this episode a must-listen.
