Ep. 90 The Chosen: Best of Episodes with Dallas Jenkins, Jonathan Roumie, Noah James, and Jordan Walker Ross

ABOUT THIS PODCAST:

The fourth season of "The Chosen" is now showing in theaters across the country. Previous episodes of The Paul Cardall Podcast have featured Dallas Jenkins, the creator, writer, and director of this widely acclaimed biblical series. Guests also included Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus; Noah James, playing Andrew; and Jordan Walker Ross, in the role of Little James. In the podcast's 90th episode, listeners will enjoy highlights from Paul's interviews with these actors and the director, conducted over the course of seasons one through three.

Listen to the full episodes with

Dallas Jenkins (Director)

Jonathan Roumie (Jesus)

Noah James (Andrew)

Jordan Walker Ross (Little James)

ABOUT THE CHOSEN

The Chosen is an American Christian historical drama television series. Created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, it is the first multi-season series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century, the series centers on Jesus and the different people who met and followed or otherwise interacted with him. The series stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis.

After Jenkins noted there had never been a multi-season, episode-based portrayal of Jesus that could be "binge-watched" like shows on streaming mediums such as Netflix, he set out to create the series in partnership with Angel Studios, formerly VidAngel. With the intention of differing from previous portrayals of Jesus, he crafted a story arc which focused more on the people who encountered Jesus and viewed him through their eyes. He has stated in interviews that he sought to present Jesus in a way that was more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate"

The show's producers have primarily used crowdfunding on the Angel Studios platform to finance production, and it continues to be the most successful crowdfunded TV series or film project. Additional revenue comes through licensing to other streaming platforms and TV networks, such as Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and Netflix. Merchandise and video sales provide additional sources of revenue, as have limited premiere runs in cinemas. The show has been further adapted into a series of novels by Jenkins's father, author Jerry B. Jenkins, a series of graphic novels by Corvus Comics, and companion Bible study materials published by David C. Cook.

According to a 2022 analysis commissioned by the show's producers, 108 million had seen at least part of the show through the app and streaming platforms. Translation into as many as 600 languages is being funded by the Come and See Foundation.

In the motion picture 'Ordinary Angels,' Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank portrays Sharon Evans, a hair dresser in a small town who works miracles to help a little girl named Michelle get a liver transplant. Sharon and Ashley Schmitt, Michelle's older sister join Paul to talk about the film on the 89th episode of The Paul Cardall Podcast. Not included in the film is Ashley's own journey getting a double organ transplant like her sister Michelle. Both Sharon and Ashely share additional experiences that are also not in the film.

SEE THE MOVIE

https://ordinaryangels.movie/

STORY BEHIND THE FILM

Michelle Schmitt was known in Louisville, Kentucky as the “snow baby.”

The Schmitts waited for over two years for a liver transplant for Michelle, who was battling congenital liver disease. She was born with biliary atresia, the same condition as her sister Ashley. They finally got the long-awaited call on January 17, 1994, when Michelle was three years old and barely 22 pounds. A liver was available, but it was in Omaha, Nebraska. And it was in the middle of a snowstorm.

And not just any snowstorm. This was the 1994 Kentucky Blizzard, where temperatures dropped to a record-breaking 22 degrees below zero. There were 16 inches of snow on the ground. Driving would be impossible. Highways were buried and completely shut down.

Organs for transplant don’t last long outside a body, so there was a short window of time to get Michelle to Omaha for the procedure.

This real-life story of a community rallying around a young child is the basis for ORDINARY ANGELS. The film primarily follows hairdresser Sharon, who led the charge in moving the community and re-discovered purpose in her life by fighting for little Michelle.

Before the storm hit, Sharon had secured a private plane to take Michelle to Omaha whenever the transplant would be ready. The plan was to drive Michelle to Indiana for the private jet to take her the rest of the way—but now in blizzard conditions, that would be impossible.

Sharon immediately called the local radio station and requested that broadcasters ask for help. Suddenly, neighbors called in suggesting they clear the parking lot at Southeast Christian Church to create a makeshift helicopter pad.

People took to the streets with their snowsuits and shovels and garden spades—whatever they had available. The Schmitts arrived just in time: grandmother Barbara, father Ed, Michelle, and her older sister Ashley, who’d also undergone the same transplant surgery years before.

In a remarkable true story of community care and selflessness, Michelle Schmitt made it safely to Omaha during the storm and successfully received her transplant. She lived to be 30 years old and had a healthy life until she passed away in the spring of 2021.

Former Chief Creative Officer at Ramsey Solutions (Dave Ramsey’s Company) Luke LeFevre is my guest on Ep. 88. We explore Luke’s expertise on with the powerful tool of Journaling that allows us to delve into the depths of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It is a form of reflective writing that helps us gain clarity, insight, and personal growth. The art of journaling is not only a means of self-expression but also a gateway to self-discovery.

Sign up for a Holy Work Journaling Course

Discover the tools and guidance you need to follow this pull through the life-changing habit of journaling.

During this 6-week journey, I will guide you step-by-step through powerful exercises that will not only cultivate the habit of journaling but also walk you through the stages of the Holy Work.

https://creativeleadercoaching.com/febjournaling24

Luke LeFevre in his own words:

My name is Luke LeFevre and I know what it feels like to be stuck, restless, and angry. I also know what it feels like to have a stirring and know there is something more, and where I am now “ain’t” it, but I have no idea what to do next.

But, after over 20 years of stumbling, fighting, studying, researching, working through battles, and seeing this same pattern in hundreds of creative people in my C-suite, executive, and coaching roles, I have found there is a path and there are practices that can lead you from being stuck, restless and stirred to unlocked and thriving.

God put something inside of YOU before YOU were born, something you can’t help but be, and He is pulling YOU to it. There is a way to see where you are on this path and what it will take to continue to follow.

These feelings of being stuck, restless, and stirred aren’t bad feelings.

These feelings are coming from God.
He is pulling you!
You are not stuck.
You are not lost!
You are on a path.

This PULL will lead you to your PURPOSE.

God wants to pull you through this path and create something with you through, through you, and most importantly...in you.

It takes a lot of work, but it isn’t just any kind of work, it is work that transforms us. This work will transform YOU in ways you can't imagine and YOU will create things you can't imagine!

That process is more than just work...it is Holy Work.

ABOUT EPISODE 86

8 Ways to Cope With Guilt & Grief

There is no right or wrong way to grieve. People experience grief uniquely, and normalizing that guilt is often a component of grief is important. Self-reflection is a normal reaction to the death of a loved one, but these self-messages of “I should have done this differently” are not helpful. It is important to learn how to deal with grief healthily to begin the healing process. Fortunately, there are actions you can take to come to terms with your guilt.

Here are eight tips for how to cope with guilt and grief:

1. Journaling

Journaling is a powerful tool when experiencing grief. Putting your thoughts and memories to paper is a great way to clarify and self-reflect on your feelings and thoughts. It also helps to decrease the intensity of these emotions. Journaling also helps to chart your grief process by reviewing journal entries over time. Journaling can initially feel awkward if you have never tried it before and you are not certain about how to begin, so grief journaling prompts are a great tool to use to help get started.

2. Prioritize Self-Care

It is common to forget about self-care when people are in the midst of grief.

This is especially true when guilt is experienced as a part of the grief process. Just getting out of bed can feel like a challenge. People forget to eat, exercise and can self-isolate. Guilt is a burden, and the message that comes with it is, “I don’t deserve to treat myself well.” Self-care includes taking care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. You cannot begin to heal and work through grief until you engage in self-care behaviors.

Mental Self-Care Examples:

Practice mindfulness.
Take a break.
Play video games.
Listen to music.
Read a book.
Listen to a podcast.
Reflect on things you are grateful for.

3. Channel Your Guilt Into Something Positive

It doesn’t really matter if your guilt is rational or irrational. It is important to channel

guilt in productive ways to begin to alleviate it. For example, if you have lost

someone to suicide, work with suicide prevention programs. It will help give you insights about yourself, and learning from others that have had shared experiences can be enormously helpful. It also can offer some comfort in doing something that honors the memory of the person who has died.

Apologizing.
Making amends.
Changing your behavior.
Accepting your faults and moving on.

4. Acknowledge Your Feelings of Guilt

You need to be able to give yourself permission to feel whatever comes with the loss of a loved one. If guilt is one of those feelings, explore its roots and what it is really about. Are you being fair to yourself? Is your guilt based on reality, or is something else causing it? You are human, and remember that guilt often arises with grief. Show yourself compassion and learn how to forgive yourself as you explore your guilt and its source.

Consider trying some of these strategies.

Acknowledge it exists. ...
Eliminate negative self-talk. ...
Find out if there's a reason to feel guilty. ...
Remind yourself of all that you do. ...
Realize it's OK to have needs. ...
Establish boundaries. ...
Make amends. ...
Understand what you can control.

5. Join a Grief Support Group

Grief support groups can be a wonderful way to learn how to cope with grief and guilt. It helps to hear that other people are experiencing similar thoughts and feelings. It is also a place where you can get support from others who have been through a loss. Grief support groups are places of support, education, and resources. You can find them online or locally by checking with local mental health centers, hospitals, or organizations associated with the cause of the death of a loved one.

Google
Talk to your pastor or bishop

6. Find Positive Thoughts

Thought stopping is the practice of shifting your focus from the guilty thoughts you are having to more positive thoughts. This technique can be taught through behavior modification which involves reshaping negative thoughts into positive thoughts producing healthier behavioral patterns. It involves training yourself using different skills to stop thinking about thoughts that can be harmful to you.

Identify areas to change. ...
Check yourself. ...
Be open to humor. ...
Follow a healthy lifestyle. ...
Surround yourself with positive people. ...
Practice positive self-talk.

7. Share Your Feelings With Others

If you have trusted close friends and family, you can talk with them and make opportunities to talk with them about what you are feeling. It is important not to keep your guilt feelings bottled up. It also can be helpful to talk with people who know the person who has died. Their insights may help ground your memories and feelings into a more realistic perspective.

Take a deep breath. There are many benefits to deep breathing. ...
Practice. Constructively sharing your feelings is a skill. ...
Identify and accept your emotions. A big part of effectively sharing emotions is correctly identifying your feelings. ...
Choose the right listener and the right time.

8. Consider Reaching Out to a Therapist

Grief and guilt can be an enormous burden. They can evolve into depression. When this occurs, it may be difficult to manage and cope with grief without outside mental health professionals intervening. Healing cannot begin unless these issues are addressed. A therapist can help to unpack why someone is experiencing guilt surrounding their grief and process the emotions so they begin to ease.

Signs you may need private therapy

Feeling anxious.
Generally feeling overwhelmed with everything.
Overthinking and feeling as though you're unable to 'switch off' from your thoughts.
Feeling low and more tearful than usual.
Getting angry more easily or struggling to regulate your emotions.
Sleeping more or less than usual.

ABOUT EPISODE 85

Paul writes, "The subject of grief is not often addressed openly. Throughout my career, I've received numerous personal letters, messages, and comments expressing how my music has provided solace to people, perhaps some of you, dealing with this challenging emotion—a topic that tends to make people uncomfortable, especially in pop culture. I've been deeply moved by these messages. I firmly believe that God understands those who are hurting and knows how to bring comfort. Our responsibility, like anyone else's, is to nurture our gifts and share them. What unfolds after that is in God's hands."

He continues, "discussing grief isn't an easy task. Psychologists suggest that the hesitation to delve into grief often stems from the fear that it might bring up our own unresolved feelings or fears about mortality. When faced with someone grieving, many of us fear saying the wrong thing or unintentionally causing more distress. There are also cultural and religious factors at play. Theology can serve both as a blessing and a barrier when discussing death with others."

Paul takes listeners through the five stages – denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, which are often talked about as if they happen in order, moving from one stage to the other. This is not true.

Paul concludes with a synopsis of C.S. Lewis book, A Grief Observed, and his personal wrestle with God after losing his wife.

After speaking to large women’s groups of Latter-day Saint women on preventing emotional burnout for a decade and working with hundreds of women in her clinical practice who were overwhelmed and felt “never good enough”, Dr. Hanks felt compelled to write her first book The Burnout Cure: An Emotional Survival Guide for Overwhelmed Women.

MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Paul begins by engaging in a conversation with Dr. Julie De Azevedo Hanks, who balanced her career as a recording artist with her pursuit of a Ph.D. in therapy. She specializes in working with clients who are Latter-day Saints or have connections to the LDS culture, assisting them in addressing social issues and ensuring their beliefs are applied in a healthy manner to avoid any harm caused by theology.

Dr. Hanks responds to Paul's inquiry about why people from other faiths often perceive Mormons as exceptionally kind individuals with strong family values. They delve into the social dynamics within the predominantly homogeneous culture, particularly in Utah, where a substantial LDS population exists. Paul briefly touches upon the history of Mormons facing persecution, such as the extermination order issued by Missouri against the religious sect. He inquires about the possibility of a generational persecution complex. Dr. Hanks doesn't attribute it to a fear of persecution, but rather to a sense of familiarity. She notes that Latter-day Saints have demanding responsibilities and suggests that Mormons should openly communicate their values to friends and neighbors to establish mutual understanding of their boundaries and commitments.

Paul highlights the unique aspect of the LDS Church, where individuals are actively assigned roles, integrated into small groups, and are actively involved in the community, unlike in most other churches where members need to initiate their participation. He emphasizes the absence of monetary compensation within the LDS Church and how this communal involvement provides a strong support system for every family. Dr. Hanks commends this support system and the sense of safety it fosters, with mentors guiding the youth in their service and teaching roles.

The conversation shifts to the historical practice of polygamy within the Mormon community and its association with women's disenfranchisement and objectification during that era. They discuss the belief in eternal marriage, emphasizing that it lasts forever.

Dr. Hanks and Paul delve into the declining church activity, which saw families conducting religious services at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also discuss the impact of scientific discoveries addressing questions that were traditionally considered mysteries of God in religious contexts. The internet is mentioned as a tool enabling individuals to research the controversial aspects of the Mormon faith's history. Paul queries Dr. Hanks about the possibility of people finding truth and happiness outside of the Mormon culture. She admits to being molded within the LDS faith but believes that truth can be found everywhere. Paul then questions whether Mormons are considered Christians, to which Dr. Hanks recalls being told she wasn't a Christian while attending a private evangelical school as a child. Lastly, Paul inquires about Dr. Hanks' perspective on the salvation of individuals who leave the Mormon faith or have family members who do so. She expresses her belief in the vastness of God's mercy and encourages avoiding placing limits on salvation for those whose experiences are different.

Kenneth Cope is an American composer and performer of religious music geared towards Latter-day Saints. Hisy first solo album, Heaven—Don’t Miss It For The World (released in 1988), was created out of this desire to make music to help strengthen the youth of the Church. I also continued to work on EFY recordings. Then came Greater Than Us All (1989), with the songs “His Hands” and “Never a Better Hero.” In 1991, I released another contemporary album titled Voices, with the song “Face to Face.” Then came the theme-based projects: My Servant Joseph (1993) and Women at the Well (1995). These were followed by Stories from Eden’s Garden (1998), A Prayer unto Thee (1999), Joseph Smith—the Seer (2000), and Hear My Praise (2002). In 2005, the record company released Face to Face—Kenneth Cope Collection. My most recent full album was born in 2008, titled All About You. And in 2012, I most recently created three new contemporary inspirational songs for the youth of the Church to go along with the year’s youth theme…the EP is called Rise and Shine.

Cope lived in Houston, Texas, during his high school years and attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Switzerland and France from 1980 to 1982. He currently resides in Salt Lake City, Utah and has served as a bishop.

MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Luke Beling and Paul Cardall delve into an incredible journey as indie artists, tracing back to Luke’s upbringing in South Africa during the tumultuous era of apartheid—a system entrenched in racial segregation. The conversation unfolds as they explore Luke's unique background as a privileged youth who navigated complex dynamics of prejudice and friendship with individuals of diverse backgrounds, all set against the backdrop of Nelson Mandela's struggle for equality.

Luke's childhood weekends were graced with a musical education from his father, immersing him in the soul-stirring melodies of legendary artists like the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Cat Stevens. It was within these harmonies and the subtle, submissive lyrics of Paul Simon's "Graceland" that Luke began to perceive the world through a different lens. The resonance of these artists' words ignited a fire within him to seek compassion and understanding, propelling him toward a path of societal change through his own artistic expression.

Amidst being a promising tennis player, Luke's journey unfolded further as he secured a scholarship to Campbellsville in Kentucky. Here, he found himself in the midst of a musical community that would catalyze his transformation into a songwriter. Paul and Luke engage in an exploration of Luke's creative process, unveiling the intricate art of crafting stories through music, likening it to a vigorous workout at the gym—shaping narratives that resonate with the soul.

Luke's profound connection to his roots in Africa emerges in his poignant musical compositions, touching on the realities of a nation ravaged by AIDS, juxtaposed against the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. They contemplate the tragic paradox of such stunning places marred by a history of suffering.

Intriguingly, the conversation shifts to Luke's creative focus on Lesotho—a landlocked haven in Southern Africa, boasting towering mountains and serene valleys, steeped in a rich history of political autonomy. The narrative takes a twist as they delve into Luke's transition to Hawaii, where he now resides with his family. The discussion culminates in a reflection on his song "Pacific," encapsulating the irresistible pull he experienced, drawing him across the vast expanse of the Pacific to find solace and purpose on an island—a journey that mirrors the rhythm of his life and art.

In Part Two of their conversation, Paul Cardall and Peter Breinholt delve into the world of Mormon music and LDS culture. A multi-million dollar industry, Mormon music is relatively unknown. As the Church expanded its membership beyond Utah's borders, so did the audience for recording artists who are members of the LDS Church or create music with Mormon themes. Both Paul and Peter have their roots in Mormonism, which adds depth and insight to this episode, particularly for those unfamiliar with mainstream Mormonism or the LDS Church.

Paul and Peter Breinholt review episode one which included conversations about The Osmond Family, Michael McLean, Kenneth Cope, Julie De Azevedo, Lex De Azevedo, and others. They discuss Mormon commercials with how jingle music created various artists. Musicals were a big part of the culture. They go behind talking about how musicals were promoted over the pulpit which leaders have since promoting. They discuss the challenges artists face when the corporate church has no control over the message. When they’ve done events with artists it’s always scripted and feels stiff and insincere.

They talk about how artists have sold millions of records through the Church owned bookstore, Deseret Book. The actual website Deseret Book is a subsidiary of Deseret Book is a subsidiary. Deseret Book is a subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation.

PART ONE

Paul introduces Utah musician Peter Breinholt. Growing up under the umbrella of Mormonism, they discuss the differences in how they were raised. Paul comes from an orthodox home in Salt Lake City where his family was active in all the cultural and theological teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). Whereas, Peter grew up outside of Utah and didn't have an active family. He moved to Utah, started a band, and evolved into an active Latter-Day Saint.

Peter explains that there are Mormons making Mormon-themed music for Mormons sold at LDS bookstores, and then there are popular bands or singers who happen to be LDS. Paul summarizes how popular LDS-themed music has become; it’s a multi-million dollar industry. Peter clarifies that in Utah, where LDS headquarters are, because of the social network that the Church provides, when things catch on, it’s like a wildfire. There are mega trends in Mormonism.

Paul talks about pioneer immigrants who wrote hymns using the contemporary style of their time. They mention that even though there is a commercial music culture, the church itself is rather strict on what they present in worship services called Sacrament Meetings, and full-time missionaries are allowed to listen to. Electric guitars and drums aren’t allowed in services. Missionaries were allowed to listen to the Tabernacle Choir and some piano music, like Paul. Today, missionaries can listen to whatever helps them feel the spirit of God, though leaders are still cautious.

As the church evolved in the 80s, there was Michael McLean, a songwriter who produced a series of videos promoting church doctrine. Missionaries would take those to those who saw the ad on TV. They talk about Mormon ad campaigns in the 70s and 80s. The songs in the ads were a huge part in persuading people emotionally and had a significant influence on the direction commercial Mormon music proceeded.

Peter and Paul talk about the Osmonds, the most popular LDS musicians in the 20th century. Their fifth studio album that was on the Billboard charts is called “The Plan.” Their concept album was an opportunity for The Osmonds to share Mormon theology. There have been people who have joined the church as a result of their love for Donny Osmond. They skip ahead a few decades to talk about another famous band, The Killers, whose lead singer Brandon Flowers is a devout Mormon.

In the late 1970s, early 80s, Afterglow was a blockbuster duo whose songs were rich with harmonies. They were one of the first to have a record deal with the church-owned bookstore, called Deseret Book. Their music was overly religious with strict LDS themes. Deseret Book at the time had hundreds of stores along with hundreds of independent stores by people who sold LDS related products. Record labels began to pop up.

Peter brings up Kenneth Cope, whose voice was featured in some of those Mormon ads. Kenneth wrote and recorded some of the most successful commercial Mormon music. All of this is happening while Amy Grant in the Christian market or Gospel Music Association was becoming successful, and her Christian-themed music crossed over into the adult contemporary top 40. Greater Than Us All was Kenneth’s successful debut with His Hands and Never A Better Hero. My Servant Joseph was another hit album about with songs about LDS founder Joseph Smith. Kenneth takes his responsibilities in the church seriously and when he was called to be a Bishop, in a church with no paid ministry, we didn’t hear much from Kenneth Cope until recently. He’d spent 15 years producing a new musical called "Son of Man."

Along with Kenneth, Michael Webb recorded similar LDS themed songs and has since left the church. Paul says one of his favorite songs is a new Christian song by Michael Webb. Peter and Paul explore artists Julie De Azevedo, Felicia Sorensen, and other successful female artists who started to emerge in the 90s. Julie is the daughter of Lex de Azevedo, who was successful at writing LDS musicals like "Saturday’s Warrior," and "My Turn on Earth." He started a record label that signed Kenneth Cope, Michael Webb, Julie, and others. Julie became a popular therapist and podcast host helping countless LDS women understand their value. They mention Hillary Weeks and move into a conversation about Jeff Simpson, a former Disney producer. Jeff was ambitious in helping take LDS music forward into a more contemporary and overall style. He had a vision to make LDS music part of the broader Christian market under the Gospel Music Association. But Jeff’s label Excel was never successful because of the differences. He was successful at creating a film production and distribution entity with the breakout hit "God’s Army" by Richard Dutcher. Excel would later sell to Deseret Book. He also created an award show called "The Pearls" honoring LDS music.

Before talking about cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, Peter mentions Nashville Producer Jason Deere who created the Nashville Tribute Band, which was country music with LDS themes. Cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, who is now a member of YouTube sensation The Piano Guys, worked on hundreds of albums by members of the LDS faith. Peter shares how he met Steve and began using him in his band. Later, Paul used Steve to orchestrate his music with another brilliant LDS artist, Marshall McDonald. Both Marshall and Steven worked as a team to help dozens of artists. Paul invited Steve to let him produce "Sacred Cello" for Paul’s label Stone Angel Music. Steve didn’t believe it would be successful, but the album debuted No. 18 on the Billboard Classical Charts. Steve is an artist who shared the burden with artists that occurs in the studio and on the stage. Paul shares with Peter the countless LDS artists who created LDS-themed albums that debuted on the Billboard charts. Deseret Book began reporting sales to Soundscan.

"Especially For Youth" is the next topic. The weeklong camp on Brigham Young University’s campus and dozen other colleges across the United States gathered LDS Youth from all over. EFY gave these LDS teenagers a 12-song compilation that featured a cassette, CD of LDS artists who wrote songs about the camp theme. Every kid received one. EFY music began in 1986 and continued until 2019 before the LDS Church changed the youth program. In the 80s not only did you have Michael McLean, Kenneth Cope, and Julie De Azevdeo, but over the decades, artists evolved out of these produced EFY albums. Why? They were approved by the church since the program was under BYU, a church-owned private university. Not everyone appreciated the songs, but the production was top quality. However, producers and artists were not given the standard music industry fees. Peter wanted to get involved and was at a point in his career where the LDS church listened to him. He recruited Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson’s partner in The Piano Guys, to produce an authentic album of songs. However, they were restricted by several policies. Peter produced one more several years ago with songwriter Russ Dixon from the Utah group Colors. Concerts were also performed, and youth looked forward to it. Overtime EFY did away with the concerts because leaders felt there was too much attention drawn to the artists. There was one theme song that was the EFY “We Are The World” that brought the popular artists who were LDS together called, “Especially For Youth.” Mormons who go to the Temple make covenants that they’ll donate all their time and talents to building up the Church. As a result, artists felt an obligation to do things for free or for very little pay. They discuss firesides, which are special events inside a church building. In the beginnings, Churches wanted firesides, but overtime fewer and fewer musicians were invited to perform their music about God. Peter shares his experience being asked to perform for LDS leaders and bring his band, only they wouldn’t pay for anything. Peter would have to pay his band out of his pocket.

Peter and Paul share their frustration as an artist who doesn’t do LDS themed music. Because he lent his voice to a few LDS themed songs, the music platform’s algorithm made him an LDS artist and recommends other LDS artists instead of the Americana Folk artists. Paul also shares his frustration that new material still references artists that the metadata feels is comparable to when Paul started in 1995. Paul talks about doing an album with Steele Croswhite, who was not LDS, and slowly the culture started working with people of other Christian denominations.

Paul talks about his experience speaking and performing at a Missionary Fall social attended by Apostles Russell M. Nelson and Elder David A. Bednar. A previous 70s prophecy by President Spencer Kimball invited LDS members to create the very finest artist, particularly because he believed they have all the truth. He showed the apostles the classical Billboard charts that had 5 out of 10 people who were LDS. He showed that his prophecy was being fulfilled. Afterward, Elder Bednar invited Paul to write a song with him. Paul worked with Steven Sharp Nelson and Marshall McDonald to produce Paul and David Bednar’s office song "One by One." Paul would later present Elder Bednar with a plaque showing he was part of a No. 1 Billboard charting album. Paul would perform this piece with LDS tenor Nathan Pacheco. Paul discusses the positive experience of doing business with Elder Bednar and the corporate church concerning owning the master rights to their song. Paul learned that Apostles do not take a royalty. If so, it goes directly to the church missionary department.

Peter talks about Trina Harmon, a Nashville songwriter who isn’t LDS, has helped several Mormons evolve as writers and artists. She complimented LDS members but said she’s not yet met an LDS artist who is truly aligned with the mission of the Church. The LDS Church demands a lot of service and rules, leaving artists at odds in creating music. Paul agrees and says that anyone, LDS or not, who creates music that points people to Jesus Christ is important. They briefly discuss Paul Simon who is getting older and producing an album about his relationship with God. Maturing popular artists lean into producing faith-based recordings. Artists need to speak to the struggles. Peter talks about his daughter choosing to go on a mission and his concern that it could go one or two ways. Missionaries lean in or when they return, get out of the church.

Paul shares Christian artist Andrew Peterson, who like Peter Breinholt, built a community of artists within a cultural context. In Mormon culture, there’s a little bit of reluctance towards charismatic musicians. When Peter was connecting with the youth in a fireside, the leader stood up to make sure the audience understood that Peter is not someone who they need to look up to, but to look up to God. Leaders tend to put down artists. A leader cornered Peter to ask him if he’s a kingdom builder or a Peter builder. They discuss Mormon theology about being ordained Kings and Queens, so there’s a sense of looking down on those who aren’t anointed joint heirs with God. Paul shares that he needed to strip away all the idols and ideology that stood in the way of having a full relationship with Christ. Paul believes in the Four Gospels over any new revelation from those who claim to be God’s prophets. The Four Gospels are 4 eye witnesses of the Resurrected Lord who disagree on the details, but they all tell the same story. He goes into talking about the Codex Vaticanus and the other codexes that were used by St. Jerome to give the world the Latin Vulgate. Paul gets into why he doesn’t believe in a Church that he loves with all his heart. They talk about Joseph Smith’s first vision narrative that the Church has been teaching for hundreds of years, that even LDS scholars say that narrative can’t be sustained. It’s simply not true. Peter says that artists deconstruct. It’s why artists write songs, to say something they can’t say with words. They compose how they feel.

They discuss challenges in Mormon doctrine. Paul talks about one of the Christian churches he attends called Immanuel Nashville with Pastor TJ Tims. Artists analyze everything.

Paul and Peter end by setting up part two.

Sharing Jesus with Muslims by Fouad Masri

https://rb.gy/2nmea

Since September 11th, 2001, relationships between Christians and Muslims have been defined by fear. Increasing violence in the Middle East has caused Islam to be associated with persecution and terrorism and has led many Christians to view Muslims as the enemy. But the Bible provides clear instruction to move past fear and share the Gospel with all peoples, including Muslims. Every Christian can be an ambassador of Christ to Muslims, even without becoming an expert on Islam.

In Sharing Jesus with Muslims, Fouad Masri encourages Christians to set aside fear, excuses, and differences and share the good news of Jesus. Rich with stories and conversation starters, the book gives readers tangible and respectful ways to initiate friendships and minister to the felt needs of Muslims.

Sharing Jesus with Muslims serves as a step-by-step guide for effective witnessing, and includes: Conversation starters Insight into Muslim culture, including do's and don'ts Biblical responses to issues relevant to Islam Stories with practical application from Masri's forty years of ministry to Muslims Discipleship materials for ministering to Muslims Void of judgement or guilt trips, pastors, ministry leaders, and everyday Christians will find their relationships with Muslims enhanced by the principles in this book. Pick up Sharing Jesus with Muslims and discover the joy of serving and relating to Muslims.

ABOUT THE HEART IN HEARTCHARGED

Website: http://getheartcharged.org

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartcharged

According to the HeartCharged website, “Once upon a time we were average high-school girls. Then we were diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is better than not being diagnosed but not as good as not having it. We were extremely athletic and HCM is the #1 killer of student athletes. It is asymptomatic so it most often kills without warning. But we were screened and found out we had it.”

“We were immediately put on medications and made life-style changes so that our heart rates wouldn’t go up causing our hearts to fibrillate causing us to die. Then the condition got worse and those precautions weren’t deemed enough, so we had defibrillators implanted. The device would shock our hearts if they went out of control. Of course, we still take medications and are careful how we live.”

They continue, “We are so grateful to have found out and be managing our conditions. With that gratitude, we are trying to warn the world. Childhood deaths from undiagnosed heart conditions are preventable. We can end them. But we need people prepared to act in an emergency and our children evaluated to discover these life-threatening conditions.”

Because I have been given much, I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty Lord, each day I live; (Grace Noll Crowell)

Because we were screened and it saved our lives, we want all children to have the heart screenings they need.
Because we had each other to share the day-to-day dealing with our conditions with, we want others to be able to connect with fellow heartcharged warriors and know patient-to-patient what this life means.
Because we have grown with gratitude, we want to express it so others know it exists.
Because our hearts still quiver, we want others to know we walk on without surety.
Because there are still sorrows in the world, we want people to feel our tears.
Because our souls still find joy, we want others to smile loudly.

ABOUT BETHANY

We of HeartCharged take great pride in our Instagram account, The Jolt @heartcharged. We consider it our home base because it is really where we started connecting with our international HeartCharged friends, and those that care for them and care about them.

When you look at that account, we believe you will see a put-together page. The look is coordinated though the content is mixed. Gratitude and grace, facts and funnies, self-awareness and selfies are all apparent. Posts cover red days, blue days, happy days, what-is-happening days. You see the person, the patient, the giver, the receiver. And knowledge is unleashed so action can follow.

And as is the page, so is the page’s creator, the visionary who puts it all together, Bethany.

Bethany will tell you herself that when she was told she needed a defibrillator implanted that she, of course, worried what it would look like. She was, and is, a dancer, earning her BFA in Dance Performance. She communicates with her body. She had already been diagnosed with HCM for 5 years when she passed out a time then two. And all of a sudden, her doctors told her one day that in 10 days she would have a defibrillator implanted.

She will tell you herself about the days of doubt between the implanting and the unveiling. She spent weeks waiting for the bandages to come off to finally see who she had become. And when she saw, and it was no particularly small thing she saw especially in comparison to her small body, she looked on her new look and smiled. She did not see imperfection but strength and resiliency. And each day since, she has at her side that reminder of what is important and why it’s important and why she needs to do what she does.

Each piece of The Jolt page was picked with a purpose like Bethany’s outfit on a Saturday night. Even the color scheme – blue, red, white, gold - has HeartCharged meanings. Beta-blocker blue, heart red, oxycodone white, winner’s gold. The page is aptly named The Jolt because that is what a defibrillator sends to get someone's heart back in rhythm, and the page is ready to send a needed jolt to get someone's life back in rhythm. The first post up on The Jolt is perhaps Bethany’s mission statement. It is a quote, “One day you will tell your story about how you overcame that battle you went through, and God will send you the exact people who need to hear that story.”

And so on the page you will see her story. You will see her bulge in her bikini and know her battle. You will see her in a hospital gown and still grasp her glow. You will see her in leotards and lingerie, being charged or getting recharged. You may find that she flaunts her defibrillator, but she does so with a little girl’s fears and a strong woman’s faith. You may see her wonder and weep, strong and proud or down and out. But you will be able to see her. Her open-book approach to The Jolt page and her life makes her story just that easy to read and her battle just that easily known.

Bethany has gone down a path which others are traveling and she offers to take their hand as they do. She saw herself, she accepted herself, she showed herself, she showed gratitude. She is happy to help them do the same. And now that you know her, you can walk with her as a friend.

ABOUT HANNAH

If you’ve seen our Instagram account, The Jolt @heartcharged, then you’ve already met Hannah. And you really are lucky to have met her because how many people can say they know somebody who has been shocked twice by their defibrillator while lip-syncing to Celine Dion’s "All By Myself" on their high-school stage and gone on to finish the performance? (and not even mention it so she could get the pity vote and take 1st place instead of 2nd.)

You’ve been delighted by her quirky sense of humor (sharing spaghetti a la “Lady and the Tramp” with her ‘heart’ for her diagnosis anniversary).

You’ve been treated to her dramatic prowess (was she actually the one with HCM in One Tree Hill?).

You’ve enjoyed her editing skills, her directing talents, and her ability to really put together something out of almost nothing - all talents she is using now while studying film in college. (The Bionic Woman, what surgical instruments did they use for that implantation?).

You’ve observed her outreach (gathering World Heart Day wishes from dozens of her HeartCharged friends around the world).

You've seen her political passion (voting, campaigning, interning, trying to elect those who will support the HeartCharged cause even if it’s while dancing on the streets in an apple costume).

You see her putting to use the power of the spoken word (a Thespian and Spoken Word performer in high school, a tour guide, a podcast guest).

You know she’s done some death-defying acts (not dying in her sleep after going into sudden cardiac arrest, that’s a good trick).

You know she’s a constant at the cardiologist (awww there she is with Dr. Avila).

You know her condition is being managed by meds (and lots of them plus activity restrictions, meaning her approved sports are shuffleboard and darts). You know she has a genetic condition (same genes as her sister, aunt, mom - but they definitely look severely different in her). You know she comes at her mission to see all children receive heart screenings from a variety of angles (including standing in a pool to photograph her bionic sister in a bikini). You know she likes to dress up and put on wigs (you gotta love that, she’s had to change roles plenty in life as well). And you will find that she is a person of intense faith (she spent 17 months serving a full-time ecclesiastical mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the honest-to-goodness best mission in the world, Utah Salt Lake City Temple Square).

Meet Hannah. Love Hannah. Enjoy Hannah. We do!

On the 69th episode of The Paul Cardall Podcast, Hope Children's Home Administrative Director Matt Higgins joins Paul to discuss a modern day orphanage. Founded in 1968, Hope Children’s Home has rescued nearly 5,000 children between the ages of infant to 18 years of age. They discuss their belief that a personal relationship with Christ, combined with an excellent education and a well-rounded sports program is the key to Hope’s success.

ABOUT HOPE CHILDREN'S HOME

Founded in 1968, Hope Children’s Home has rescued nearly 5,000 children between the ages of infant to 18 years of age. The type of children we care for are not juvenile delinquents, but rather children that, through no fault of their own, find themselves in a situation of needed rescue. Some children simply come out of a situation where a parent just needs a little help.

Whether it’s our campus in Tampa, New Mexico, or Honduras, each child is equally important in God’s eyes and ours. Each campus is able to care for the children in a beautiful family atmosphere while instilling core Christian values.

We believe that a personal relationship with Christ, combined with an excellent education and a well-rounded sports program is the key to Hope’s success. Our school program begins in our Nursery and continues through the 12th grade. We are proud to say that over 95% of the students who graduate from Hope Christian School continue to college.

Hope Children’s Home receives no State or Federal funding but rather is entirely supported by churches, private individuals, businesses, and organizations. The faith that we exercise each and every day for our needs is a faith that is passed on to the children as they see God’s hand of provision. The children see first-hand that God will never leave them nor forsake them.

For over 50 years, Hope Children’s Home has lovingly cared for children in need and tried to make a difference in their very impressionable lives. We feel that God has called us to help rebuild the broken lives of these children and to build the bridge, when possible, between home, parent, and child. The rewards of our labor are the thousands of children across the country who are now productive adults raising their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Not everybody knows what their gifts are, so the 67th episode of the Paul Cardall Podcast is devoted to knowing how to discover your gifts? If you know what your gifts are how do you help somebody discover their gifts? And why is this important? Because sharing our gifts lifts us up. It gives us self-esteem. It will make the world around you a much better place.

Discover your gifts: It seems everybody always says, “If you only knew how great you are.” Well, the truth is, sometimes you just don’t know how great you are. When we don’t feel like the smartest, the nicest, the best looking, the funniest, or the most talented, our self-assurance seems to disappear.

But think about this: if we look out into the vast cosmos and see the constellation of stars with all its mystery our minds are expanded. I drove my daughter into a desert free from man-made lights so we could see the brilliance of each star. As a 10 year old, she recognized and pointed out to me various constellations. As she looked up in wonder I noticed her eyes reflected the light of the stars.

Each star, like every type of flower has its purpose. We give red roses as a symbol of romance, yellow for friendship, pink for appreciation, lavender roses for love at first sight. Flowers, like stars, are part of the same family. Each has its purpose.

As I think about the vast cosmos, solar systems, all the stars and the variety of roses and every other creation, I’m humbled by what God has organized. God’s majesty is everywhere. God’s creation surrounds us. And yet, at the heart of creation, and according to the Bible, each of us, particularly you are His greatest creation. So great that He gave us a Savior to redeem us so that who you are, who your neighbor is, who I am, can fulfill our destiny.

Each of us was created by God. We are unique and diverse like roses and stars, but what separates us from those incredible creations, is that we are God’s children. God made you. God made you unique. As such, the Lord of all things has given us unique gifts and talents to help us fulfill our divine potential. As we discover these gifts, we are reminded of our divine worth as His children, and we are able to draw closer to Him and help others do the same.

As I’ve traveled performing my music or speaking to an audience, many of you come up to me and say, “I have no talent” or “God has given me any special gifts.” And yet, those who tell me this are some of the most faithful, humble, wonderful people I’ve met. Their devotion to their faith humbles me.

And so, for any of you who don’t know or believe you have talent and gifts let me give you 9 ideas to help you to discover your gifts, or at the very least help you discover or re-discover your not-so-obvious gifts. Now, grab a pen or pencil, or open your notes on your smart phones, and write these down. I will also put them in the podcast notes.

While you’re getting your tools to write this down, I want to thank Justina Lichner for this information that I agree will help you. Ok. You got your notes open?

Just a reminder, please subscribe to this podcast. If there is someone who needs this message today—email them and share this podcast.

Ask others to let you know.
Sometimes we don’t see in ourselves what others can see in us. Ask a friend, relative, or someone close to you at work or chuch to write you a note about a gift or talent they see in you.
Look for gifts in adversity.
During hard times we can choose between letting our best qualities or our worst qualities come out. When times are tough, focus on discovering and using your best qualities and gifts.
Pray for the help to recognize your gifts.
Our Father in Heaven knows our divine potential. If we have a difficult time seeing that in ourselves, He can help. You can pray for help to recognize your gifts.
Don’t be afraid to branch out.
Do we only develop the gifts that we already know we have because we’re too afraid to do something we haven’t done before? Now’s the time to try something new and discover unknown gifts.
Search the word of God.
God helps us discover and develop our gifts through clues found in His word—usually through invitations to act. For example, the 4th chapter of James says: “Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters. The one who speaks against a brother or sister or judges his brother or sister, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge” (James 4:11). What gifts could you develop from this invitation? The gift of speaking kind words, the gift to calm others, the gift of restraint, and more. And that’s just from one verse!
Look outside yourself.
Sometimes our best qualities come out when we’re not focusing on ourselves but focusing instead on how we can work with and help others. When we do that, we’ll see that we have many Christlike gifts.
Think about people you look up to.
Who are some of your role models? You can make a list of all of the gifts your role models have and, instead of focusing on which gifts you don’t have in common, celebrate discovering the ones you do.
Reflect on your family.
What gifts do you have that your siblings, parents, or grandparents have too? Go further! Research family history, discover stories, and identify even more gifts you share with your family.
Receive and study your patriarchal blessing.
Your blessing could talk about gifts you have and should develop, and it could also point you to the path that will lead to the discovery of other new gifts and talents.

Now, if we know our gifts how can we help others discover their gifts. We can often see things in people they don’t see in themselves.

For example, my wife has the gift of discipline… She has spent years in the gym taking care of the physical body or temple God has given her that houses her spirit. She takes this so seriously that with exercise, she also focuses on what is taken into her body. We talked years ago about how she doesn’t want to vandalize or damage the gift of having a physical body. So with the gift of discipline she chooses foods that will heal and repair the body. She also focuses what she puts on her body. Are their products with toxic chemicals damaging the temple she’s been given. And so you see, she has a gift of discipline, a gift for understanding how to take care of the body, and the gift to teach and share with others what she has learned.

I’ll share with you another example of a gift I had no idea about. I don’t believer this gift shows up all the time or can I access this gift without the circumstances being right. The famous scripture were two or three are gathered in my name, so will I be also. One of the men in my small mens group that meets every Tuesday in a roundtable discussion, after reading the word of God, shared some personal struggles. Though he didn’t go into detail, I was moved and looked at one of our leaders, who parenthetically has the gift to remember everyone’s names, even the new people, well I looked at him and he knew. We needed to pray over this brother. We gathered, laid hands on him, and a few different men led the prayer. I felt impressed to also bless him. I couldn’t remember what I said… But this morning, that same leader said, “Last week what you did was a gift. You knew what to say that gave our brother confidence in God so God can work in him.” The gift to listen, the gift of understanding, the gift to know someone needs our prayers, and the gift to be vulnerable enough to communicate what we feel God wants to implore into the heart of the one seeking divine guidance. The gift of fellowshipping, ministering, or simply being a friend without an agenda are the great gifts we can do…

Help Others Discover Their Gifts

We see things in others that they may not be able to see in themselves. This week, share those things with a friend or family member. Here are some questions to ask yourself that can help you discover the gifts of others.

What is something they’ve done to help you?
What do you like about them?
What are they good at?
What are they trying to get better at?

There is NOBODY like you… YOU are a child of God, never forget it. The Creator of the Vast Cosmos is real. He loves you. He is not only award of you, but cares for you. We can go to him in prayer, and how great is that. Think about it—we can talk to God and share with God our hopes, fears, dreams, things we are grateful for and things we need help overcoming… You know years and years ago, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The ability for someone to communicate their love from thousands of miles away is a miracle. The ability to not only call on a man made device, or a cell phone, and talk to someone we love and to hear them say, “I love you, I miss you, I’m can’t wait to be with…” We’ve been able to get within our control the elements and through technology talk to loved ones across the globe. With technology, and invisible air waves, control over the elements, we can bring into our living room, Presidents, Kings, and all kinds of unimaginable things… If we can do this—I have no doubt the creator, whose children we are, deserves the credit because God has created each of us unique and given to us divine gifts. The gift of knowledge often goes to our head—so let’s not forget that without our creator we wouldn’t exist. And because of our creator and the various gifts he shares with us, our life has purpose. And that purpose is to love whoever God puts into our lives. And as we love, we are loved also.

His music is frequently categorized as Classical, Christian and New Age. With 11 No. 1 Billboard albums and 30 million monthly listeners Paul Cardall is one of the most listened to recording artists of our time.

Paul’s music was born out of his compassion to help others. He was born essentially with half a heart and before his first day was finished, surgeons cut into his infant body to save his life. He would spend virtually all of his life in and out of hospitals and recovering from heart surgeries. He received a heart transplant in 2009. Surviving and adapting to a life of chronic illness has helped Paul understand the trauma imposed, particularly on a young person and their families. Paul has made it his life’s mission to create and share piano music that is healing both physically and emotionally.

Two of the many projects Paul’s involved with include partnering with the The Ryan Seacrest Foundation to donate keyboards to children’s hospitals nationwide. Paul and his wife, Kristina, who is from Cleveland, Ohio and a former Wall-street Analyst, established scholarships for students affected by medical bills associated with congenital heart disease because he believes in getting an education regardless of terminal diagnosis. Paul served as an executive board member of the Saving tiny Hearts Society, which seeds grass roots money for federal grant research in the field of congenital heart disease. In 2011, Utah State Board of Regents awarded Paul Cardall with an honorary doctorate.

Paul has collaborated with Grammy winning artists CeCe Winans and Rachel Yamagata. He released a soundtrack album with a handful of artists for the The Broken Miracle, the No. 1 best-selling Amazon novel by J.D. Netto inspired by Paul's life living with only half a heart. Collaborations include songs and performances with David Archuleta, Tyler Glenn (Neon Trees), Ty Herndon, Thompson Square, Matt Hammitt and many others.

In 1999, Paul founded Stone Angel Music, a record label, whose catalogue consists of Billboard charting albums by cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, guitarist Ryan Tilby, pianist Jason Lyle Black and David Tolk, Ryan Stewart, and various artist projects with a handful of former American Idol contests like Ashley Hess, Jordon Moyes, and Kenzie Hall. In 2018, Anthem Entertainment Group, one of today’s most powerful publishers, acquired Paul’s catalogue along with the albums he produced for Stone Angel Music, in one of the biggest instrumental acquisitions of the music industry’s history. Anthem also owns music made popular by Tim McGraw, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, the Canadian trio Rush, and countless others.

American Songwriter Magazine invited Cardall is also the host of a successful podcast, All Heart with Paul Cardall, and a YouTube series All Heart Adventures, featuring Cardall in various "bucket list" scenarios--living his life to the fullest, with gratitude and appreciation.

Born into an Amish family, Silicone Boone talks to Paul Cardall about exploring space and understanding our humanity with Silicone’s album Reaches.

Listening to his music and in our conversation, it’s clear that his upbringing in an Anish community provided the songwriter with a large vocabulary and a mind of curiosity that flows in his poetic lyrics. Like Paul Simon, his lyrics roll off the tip of his tongue in beauty and mystery. There aren’t a lot of artists with a story as unique and fascinating as that of rock musician Silicone Boone.

For those that aren’t aware of the sub-groups of the Amish, Old Order is the most traditional of the religious group, completely shunning the outside world. He spent 9 years of his childhood free from the conveniences of modern technology. So, imagine the world the young man discovered when Silicone’s family left behind their heritage for a new faith.

Today he hails from Campbellsville, KY as a husband and father. Silicone Boone’s curiosity of our history as humans, the creation of the world, and our role in the vast cosmos are themes in his album, The Reaches, that I have on repeat. I’m honored to share this singer songwriter with you today on my podcast.
