June 29, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 149 MB

Andrew Peterson has not only built an incredible career as a singer, songwriter and author, but he’s also cultivated an entire community of writers, artists and deep-thinkers through the Rabbit Room forum. I’m HUGE fan of his new book, Adorning the Dark, and I’m of the opinion that it should be required reading for anyone pursuing a career in the arts.  www.andrew-peterson.com www.jjheller.com/podcast

I’ve been listening to Sara’s music since 2004 and she’s been a HUGE influence on my own songwriting. She offers incredible insights about God and humanity in a way that’s disarming, beautiful and poignant. This is one of those episodes I want to listen to over and over again. www.saragroves.com www.jjheller.com/podcast

June 08, 2020 07:00 - 58 minutes - 135 MB

Ryan has five number one radio singles to his name, but as you'll hear, his journey wasn't without its share of unexpected twists and turns along the way. Even though he always knew he was called to be a musician, yet it took years of career changes, failed label contracts, and leaps of faith for him to achieve his dream. www.ryanstevensonmusic.com www.jjheller.com/podcast

June 01, 2020 07:00 - 48 minutes - 110 MB

Andrew Osenga is one of the first people I met in Nashville back in the Fall of 2005. He's a 20-year music industry veteran. From artist to producer, major label A&R to session player, he's contributed in almost every area of the music business.

004 • Michael W. Smith

May 25, 2020 07:00 - 45 minutes - 104 MB

Michael W. Smith has created an incredible legacy and it was a joy (and a little bit surreal) to sit down with him a couple weeks ago and have a conversation about where he’s headed and where he’s been. I had no idea how instrumental his wife Debbie was in launching his career… and the way he talks about her is the sweetest! ⁣ He's a multi-Platinum artist, best-selling author and acclaimed actor who continues to live out his dream; he releases new music regularly and performs around the wo...

003 • Mitch Dane

Mitch Dane is a Grammy Award winning producer in Nashville. He produced my first five albums, and he's one of the kindest people I know. Mitch has an amazing story that I know you'll find incredibly inspiring, so get ready to pick your jaw up off the floor. www.mitchdane.com www.jjheller.com/podcast

Even though he's sold over two million records to date, and has had ten No. 1 singles, when I think of Mark Schultz, I just think of my friend. He's a wonderful songwriter, entertainer, and communicator, and I know you're going to love his story.  www.markschultzmusic.com www.jjheller.com/podcast
