We Are The 2%

When the Holy Spirit shows up during the podcast session, you KNOW it's gonna be good! 

The Velez's talk: music, art & beauty, marriage, love, blended families, brokenness... and God's sweet ministry of restoration.  & if that wasn't enough, Episode 7 now holds the record for longest episode ever on the podcast (and this is the shortened version)!  Honestly, we could've sat and talked with Charlie & Sandy Velez for HOURS.  Their wisdom through life experience has shaped them into two of the most caring & compassionate people you'll ever meet!  Not only are they both filled to the brim with talent, but Charlie & Sandy also have a love for Jesus that overflows outward & is contagious! 

We cannot even describe how awesome it was to sit down with them and talk about life - we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

*** One day, we might post the entire 3 hour session: Andrew and Jamie get a master class in therapy (worth every second)!

Join us as we discuss all things WORSHIP with Mitch Kuhn, lead Pastor at Redeemer City Church in Tampa, Florida!  We talk about life, Jeep ownership [& how ducks fit into that], worship & the theology of BORE-dinary (TM)!

This one's a doozy, y'all!  Andrew & Jamie talk to each other about marriage, love, pain, and God's incredible, masterful plan of restoration and redemption.  Their story is proof that God can and does heal marriages; He makes beauty from ashes - and that is something worth worshipping!

When you get Josh singing one of our all-time favorite classic hymns, how can you go wrong?!  You'll hear that and MORE as Josh's story reveals the heights and depths of God's love when we take off the masks and show our true, authentic selves to each other in community.  His voice is like a dream, but you don't want to miss his perspective on worship either!

This is our 2% Pod ** SPOOKY SEASON ** episode!!  But it's not spooky at all...

We talk to the Everitts: two of the OG, founding members of Redeemer City Church - REPRESENT!!  We get into how to juggle two busy schedules, family, worship, and the intricate story of how Redeemer came to be!  Their hearts for worship shine through, as does their initiative to "just say yes" and show up & how that impacts the church body in ways we don't even realize.  Finally, Kevin shares a song with us in his most beautiful, genuinely gifted way - don't sleep on this one!
