  • Thank you!

    For those of us who agree that contemporary Christian music was at its peak in the late 80s and 90s, this podcast is awesome. It’s so interesting to hear the stories of how that music and those musicians came to be, and how God has worked in and through them to touch countless lives, even beyond their music careers. Thanks Andy!
