Wise Words 5: Travis Thrasher
May 24, 2014 00:00 - 8 minutes - 11.9 MBWe have a super-size installment of Wise Words for you this week. Effectively, this means it’s an eight-minute episode rather than a four-minute episode. We caught up with our friend, Travis Thrasher, an author who spent 13-years working in the publishing industry before moving to writing full-time. In our brief chat, Travis discusses the pros and cons of the current self-publishing trend – especially as compared to working with an established publisher. As a bonus, we get a little time t...

In 2013, they released their 10th and perhaps most definitive album, The Black and the White of It.

Book Review - One Way Love by Tullian Tchividjian
April 21, 2014 00:00 - 2 minutes - 2.93 MBI (Dan) recently had the opportunity to read Tullian Tchividjian’s latest book One Way Love – Inexhaustible Grace for an Exhausted World. This book was highly anticipated – not only because of his relationship to Billy Graham (Tullian is his grandson), but also the subject matter on “Grace”, which is the very topic of The Gospel Coalition – Atlantic Canada‘s conference this coming August 5-7, 2014 in Charlottetown PEI.I will say it’s easy to be cynical of an author that has a total of 28 endo...

March 17, 2014 00:00 - 3 minutes - 4.67 MBA few months ago, we had the pleasure of interviewing Gabriel Allred, worship director at Christ for the Nations Institute (Dallas, Texas) about his perspectives on ministry, music and leadership. The conversation covered a breadth of topics, and some content – for the sake of time – had to end up on the cutting room floor. Because we think highly of you, our listeners, we decided to get creative and produce a series of mini-segments we’re calling Wise Words that feature standalone bites of ...

Earlier this week, our guest’s first full length album, As Sure as the Sun, was released and quickly scaled the iTunes charts – ultimately reaching #1 on Christian & Gospel charts and #8 on the overall albums charts. To reach that level as a Christian artist is remarkable, but to do so as an independent artist for one’s first major release is unheard of. So Tuesday afternoon, the very generous Ellie Holcomb took time out ...

February 12, 2014 00:00 - 1 minute - 2.23 MBLast fall, City Harbor dropped their first single, an über-catchy inspirational pop number called “Come However You Are” from the EP of the same name.

If you’re on the fence about springing for the album, let us help you: we read every review we could find and have shared those that provide a good perspective. ...
