About Golden Tate:

Golden Tate starred in his career at the University of Notre Dame. During his three years with the Irish, Golden caught 157 receptions for 2,707 yards to go along with 26 touchdowns and rushed for another three scores. Golden was recognized with these amazing accomplishments by not only being named an unanimous All-American, but also being presented with the Fred Biltenikoff Award. This prestigious award is given out yearly to recognize America’s top college football wide receiver by the TQC Foundation, Inc.

Golden excelled in baseball and was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 42nd round of the 2007 Amateur draft. Golden declined the offer and attended Notre Dame where he continued playing baseball in addition to football. During his sophomore season, Golden posted a .329 average in 55 games. This led to Golden being drafted for the second time in 2010 by the San Francisco Giants but he declined again and shifted his focus to a career in the NFL.

Golden was drafted in the 2nd round (60th overall) by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2010 NFL draft. Golden appeared in all 16 games for the Seahawks in 2010, catching 35 receptions and three touchdowns. On September 24, 2012, Golden was a part of one of the memorable moments in franchise history as he hauled in two touchdowns, including the game winning 24 yard catch as time expired to give the Seahawks a 14-12 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Coming off a Super Bowl victory during the 2013 season with the Seattle Seahawks, 2014 was a career year for Golden in his first year with the Lions. He hauled in 99 catches and amassing more than 1,330 receiving yards, both of which were top 10 in the NFL. He’s also regarded as one of the NFL’s most sure-handed receivers. Due to these accomplishments, Golden was named a Pro Bowler for the 2014 season, assuredly his first of many appearances!

Playing for Team Irvin, Golden once again starred on the field. Paired with teammate Matthew Stafford in the 2015 Pro Bowl, Golden once again led his team in receiving, hauling in two catches for 98 yards, including a 60 yard reception that helped Team Irvin defeat Team Carter 32-28 in Glendale, Arizona.

About Maddie & Tae:

Since bursting into public consciousness with the power-acoustic slayer “Girl In A Country Song,” which skewered BroCountry’s female stereotypes and received the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame’s coveted I Wish I Wrote That Song honor, the ride-or-die besties, Maddie & Tae, have been speaking truth about what it means to be smart, young women.

“Die From a Broken Heart,” their second No. 1 which went RIAA Gold at the same time it hit country’s Top 40, was an unblinking look at the way being dumped can lay one out. But Maddie Font and Tae Kerr have never been ones to be defeated; instead, the pair of brazen songwriters come back stronger.

Love & Light, their 16-song take on what a woman should know over what people tell them, is a festival of freedom, fun, reality, what it takes to chase dreams, and how powerful acceptance can be. Even more than the acoustic-forward – chiming acoustic guitars, well-deployed dobro, banjo and resonator guitar, as well as pools of steel guitar and mandolin shine – it’s the pair’s sleek harmonies and sharp writing that define what will most likely be called the Country Music Association Award winners’ “coming of age record.”

Join us for an inspiring episode of Unlocked as we welcome the talented Tauren Wells! In this heartfelt conversation, Tauren shares her journey from working at Barnes & Noble to becoming a celebrated singer-songwriter and author of the new book, Joy Bomb.

Discover how Tauren's music has been a source of healing and how his faith has shaped his life and career. We dive deep into the themes of joy, grief, and the importance of being fully known and loved by God. Tauren opens up about his experiences in ministry, the challenges of balancing family life with a thriving career, and the lessons learned along the way.

We also discuss the powerful message behind Tauren's book, Joy Bomb, available everywhere May 20th. In it, Tauren details how to find joy amidst life's challenges, the significance of raising children with purpose and love, navigating the complexities of faith, and the importance of community in healing. This was an amazingly uplifting conversation filled with wisdom, laughter, and encouragement! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments!

About Tauren Wells:

Over the course of nearly a decade, Tauren Wells has quietly galvanized, energized, and inspired audiences worldwide. Among many accolades, he has impressively garnered 10 GRAMMY Award nominations and eight GMA Dove Awards in addition to nods at the Billboard Music Awards, BET Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and more.

Gathering 1 billion-plus worldwide streams and nearly half-a-billion views, he has notched seven #1 hits at radio and three consecutive Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart. His catalog has expanded with two RIAA platinum-certified singles—“Known” and “Hills and Valleys”—and two gold-certified singles, namely “God’s Not Done With You” and “Famous For (I Believe).” He has distinguished himself as the rare artist who can collaborate with Academy® Award winner H.E.R. or arena-filling hard rock juggernaut Skillet and Davies. Beyond successful headline tours, he notably joined Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey for a blockbuster run. Not to mention, he has delivered show stopping television performances on Good Morning America.

Before the world ever hears a note, reads a word, or witnesses a performance, Tauren always shares his artistry with his wife and children. He doesn’t write, sing, or perform in pursuit of success; it’s much purer than that. He creates in order to draw his family closer to their collective faith, imparting lasting strength upon them. The same intent underscores his 2025 album, his upcoming literary debut, and the Austin, TX house of worship he co-founded with his wife—Church of Whitestone.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Unlocked! In this heartfelt episode, we dive deep into the life of Shane Stevens, a long-time friend of the show’s and the Chrisley's.

Join us as Shane reminisces about memorable moments, including lunch dates, music discussions, and the emotional support they provided each other during tough times.

This episode is filled with laughter, tears, and powerful messages about faith, hope, and the importance of community. Shane also shares a touching email he sent to the host's mom, reminding her of the impact she has had on others' lives, even in challenging times.
