This week's episode, which was recorded about 2 months ago, is a conversation I had via Zoom with Mike Pittman.

This week I had the chance to sit down with Collide Church worship director and student director Samuel Stone, and to be honest we really just got caught up in talking about worship and music and worship music.
I think super highly of this guy and I know I need to have him back for a second episode because we just scratched the surface and didn't get to some topics and questions I wanted to cover.
One thing he said that stuck out to me is that as people worshipping/singing during a church service, it should be "like a ball game with a seat belt."
Here's the deal, we all know that people (ourselves included) get super (and maybe overly) excited at a ball game, but many times when it comes to getting excited about what God is doing, or who He is, there is no excitement to be found. Now, it's clear that there are times to be quiet and times to be reverent, and we should always respect God (hence the seat belt), but all through the book of Psalms we are instructed to clap and to sing and to play instruments for God (hence the ball game).
So there's just a little taste of what is to come in this episode.
I got the pleasure of sitting down with Amy Rankin and Hannah Keaton to talk about our love for Courtney Elementary and some things we can do to help out Courtney and all of our local schools.
You may hear Hannah's kids or Amy have to get up and answer the phone, but this is real life. :)
