Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

Guest Caroline Cobb - Episode 394  CAROLINE COBB SHORT BIO: In 2011, singer-songwriter Caroline Cobb gave herself a goal to write a song for every book of the Bible in a year. That year of writing set in motion a passion to tell the stories of scripture through music, with imagination, artistry and faithfulness to the text.    Caroline’s forthcoming album, A Seed, A Sunrise, explores the longing hope of Advent, the joy of Christmas and the anticipation of Christ’s return. Produced by Isaac Wardell (Josh Garells, Sandra McCracken) and featuring gospel trio Resound and a fourteen-piece string orchestra, these songs are rich with biblical truth, artful arrangements, and poetic lyrics to help the Church rehearse and remember God’s Story. The new album builds on Caroline’s previous full-length projects the Blood + the Breath (2013) and a Home & a Hunger (2017). Both traced a biblical theme from creation to Christ’s return, with every song parachuting into a different biblical scene.   Caroline has been featured by The Gospel Coalition, Doxology & Theology, Risen Motherhood and more, with a Home & a Hunger named among the “Best Albums of the 2010s” by The Gospel Coalition. She has been compared to Rich Mullins, Andrew Peterson, Sandra McCracken and Ellie Holcomb. She and her husband live in Dallas, TX with their three children Ellie, Harrison and Libby.    Website   Spotify   Apple Music   Amazon Music   YouTube   Instagram   Facebook   Twitter   # # #       ----more---- Listen to Rick Lee James Music on Pandora One of the best ways to support independent artists during Covid-19 is to stream our music on platforms like Pandora. https://www.pandora.com     Music From RICK LEE JAMES LOVE OUR ENEMIES (Official Music Video): https://youtu.be/xsSB5OLPELE Stream Rick's Music on any music streaming service: https://rickleejames.hearnow.com/thunder Also Find Rick Lee James Music on Bandcamp: www.RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.com or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3abA3po    ----more----   Become A Patron of this Podcast at the Rick Lee James PATREON PAGE: https://www.patreon.com/RickLeeJames   ----more---- As Always...Thank You For Listening To Voices In My Head    About Your Host: Rick Lee James Web Site www.rickleejames.com, Twitter  Facebook.

For Love of Neighbor: Politics For The Common Good - Episode 392  https://faithandpubliclife.com/flon/ A documentary film, For Love of Neighbor: Politics for the Common Good, tells the stories of three individuals—Sen. Tim Scott, Justin Giboney, and Sarah Imboden—who, on different levels and in distinct ways, are seeking to engage faithfully in contemporary American politics. The film does not provide specific answers for how Christians should engage in politics: such as who they should vote for or what specific policies they should support. Instead, it explores foundational questions about the purpose (and limits) of politics and the proper Christian posture toward government and secular society. Ultimately, the film aims to spark further discussion and offer a hopeful vision for Christian participation in contemporary public life.   Tyler Castle (Producer) Tyler Castle is the director of The American Enterprise Institute's Initiative on Faith & Public Life. He is a graduate of Westmont College’s political science program, a former John Jay Institute Fellow, and he writes regularly on issues of society, faith, and politics. Ryan Patch (Director and Producer) Ryan Patch cut his teeth telling campfire tales, growing up in the mountains and backcountry of Colorado. He received a Masters in Screenwriting from Royal Holloway University of London, and has continued to write and direct short and long-form content for brands, through his film production company Storytellers Ink, and for himself. He has had multiple scripts place in the second round or above of the Austin Film Festival’s screenwriting competition, and was included in the Black List’s TV Staffing Book of the most promising TV writers.

Where Goodness Still Grows with guest Amy Peterson- Episode 386 Social media and recent political events have exposed the fault lines that exist within our country and our spiritual communities. The corruption and blind spots of the evangelical church have led to the departure of so many from faith, who cite hypocrisy and partisanship as reasons they can’t stay. Chillingly, many of the virtues that we believed were a central piece of our religious heritage—including kindness, purity, modesty, hospitality, and faithfulness—have been hijacked and used for political or cultural gain. But all is not lost. My guest today, Author Amy Peterson, wants to reimagine virtue as a tool, not a weapon; as wild, not tame; as embodied, not written. As someone intimately familiar with, fond of, and also deeply critical of the world of conservative evangelicalism, Amy dissects the moral code of American evangelicalism and re-examines what it really means to be faithful in the modern world. Her latest book, Where Goodness Still Grows, traces the virtues from their original meanings and imagines what it could look like for us to embrace and celebrate them today. Where Goodness Still Grows is more than a book. It is a thoughtful, poetic, and deeply powerful call to reclaim our faith and it’s a book I deeply needed in 2020.
