What if someone dove into the theology espoused in the biggest contemporary Christian music of the 1990's?

That's what Ashley Mofield: Senior Pastor at White House First Baptist Church and Rachel Cash, nonprofit expert and grant writer, chose to do. Today they join the show to tell Brian about the inspiration for their new book, Mixtape Theology, which has been endorsed by Michael Tait, Michael W. Smith, Ce Ce Winans, 4 Him, Lisa Bevill, Rebecca St. James, Bart Millard from Mercy Me, and many others.

On the forty-ninth episode of All Heart with Paul Cardall, Paul is joined by producer, composer and keyboardist for Michael W. Smith, Jim Daneker. Guest hosting with Paul is Mark Mabry. They discuss Jim’s gift of music that led him to Nashville to work with the biggest names in contemporary christian music, Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant. We discuss his album “Ad Alta” and the Dove Award winning album Jim produced for Paul simply called “Christmas.” They also discuss Jim’s mom and the recent passing of his father, a pastor from Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Jim Daneker is an award-winning and Billboard-charting composer/producer who specializes in the bold, evocative, and memorable.

In addition to 25 years as keyboardist, musical director, and producer for CCM icon Michael W. Smith, Jim has enjoyed a diverse musical career. He has produced albums, arranged and written music for film (including trailers for Hollywood blockbusters such as the Fast and The Furious franchise, Transformers 2, Chronicles of Narnia, and several Disney projects), and most recently, created a virtual instrument series under the banner Backstage Pass.

After 2 decades of serving other artists, Jim took 2 years to pursue his dream of scoring a cinematic instrumental album, called AD ALTA (released June 2017). This project fuses soaring melodies reminiscent of classic film scores with creative synth textures, ethnic instruments, massive percussion and driving pop/rock grooves, all wrapped in lush orchestration supported by top session players from around the world.

In 2018, Jim produced another Billboard #1 album, this time for quadruple #1 artist Paul Cardall - an album that had the unprecedented distinction of debuting on 9 charts simultaneously and won a Dove Award for Instrumental Album of the Year.

In 2020, Jim started pursuing several passion projects, including music for licensing via STEREO PHOENIX, continued work on the BackStage Pass series, and several other projects to be announced when the time is right.

Whether an epic film score, album production, orchestral arrangements or synth programming, no detail is overlooked; Jim's pursuit of excellence is passionate and relentless. When music is your message, every note counts.

Quotes from the episode:

“I’ve always used the phrase… ‘I take delivery of songs, I don’t write them.’”

“Any talents that I think I possessed I’ve always felt like a gift from God.”

Fun things from the episode:

Bryan and Sarah shared insights from the Bible 

The vision for the Matthew 6 Project comes from Matthew 6:5-8:

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”

Sarah shared Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

The “leaves the 99” from Reckless Love is from Matthew 18:12, “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?”

Behind the Wire Ministries

Well, I would love for you to give your undivided attention to today’s episode.  It’s raw and real, and it’s going to challenge the way you view your life.  I’m going to start by asking a simple question…have you ever been in prison?  Have you ever been bound in chains and shackles?  Before you answer, I need to expound a bit.  

Today’s guest is Pastor Scott Highberger.  Scott’s story is about freedom. I’m not sure I’ve met anyone who is more qualified to talk about freedom than Scott.  Like all of us, Scott has a past.  Beginning at age 12, Scott was arrested 35 times, he had 8 felony convictions and 5 prison sentences.  As I spoke with Scott and heard his unbelievable story, I began to feel like I couldn’t fully relate.  I was raised in church all my life.  I was never considered a troublemaker, except for maybe a couple of years in high school.  My record with the law is no more than a couple of traffic tickets.

Yet, Scott explained that his story is very much like my own.  He explained that we don’t have to be physically incarcerated to be a prisoner.  He says, “Freedom isn’t just about a physical location; it’s a spiritual condition.  There’s an invisible prison that holds many in its grip…”

So I ask you again…have you ever been in prison?  Have you ever been bound in chains and shackles?  How about Addiction?  Depression?  Anxiety?  Fear?  Loneliness?  What about Guilt?  Shame?  Regret?

Scott has a book called, “Behind the Wire: A Prisoner’s Journey to the Pulpit”.  It reads much like a devotional and he has generously gifted us with a limited number of copies for podcast listeners.  Be sure to listen to the end of the podcast to learn how you can get a free copy!

Scott’s story is also making its way to the big screen.  This feature film stars Joey Lawrence and Michael W. Smith.  We’ll give you some more information about the release of “Pardoned by Grace”, which will be released in 2021.  

As you listen to Scott share h
