I sit down with a longtime friend, Rory Payne, of the band Rory Payne and the Medicine.  They have a new album out, and Rory took some time to talk with me about his journey from teacher to singer/songwriter.  We get into some deeper topics, as well as some lighthearted banter with friends.

In this episode:

• Getting booted to the back porch, crickets, with a great conversation.
• Talk about going from a schoolteacher to taking the leap to pursue singing full time.
• Taking chances in your family and faith.
• The challenges married couples face when fighting, and how to be truly vulnerable with your spouse.
• Talk about the songwriting process, what goes into it, and how the songs on his new album dive into the darkness to find hope amidst challenge.
