newsboys

Nashville area Home Inspector Jeff Frankenstein started his inspection journey three years ago. But he's also been rocking stages globally behind the keyboard for the Newsboys for 30 years. So, how does one manage to run a local business successfully while traveling the world? And how does one even make the industry leap from professional music to Home Inspections? Well, COVID shutting down the music industry opened the door for the latter... and for the former, you'll have to listen and find out.

He details what it has been like to navigate the changes to the music industry in the past decades as well as changes within Newsboys themselves. He also describes how they've found a balance in being a touring band with families. The episode also discusses the release of Chris's new book on the 12 days of Christmas.

The secular world is a very scary place if you let it be. The secular realm, in many cases - not all cases, but many cases would have you to believe that the world is wiser now than our ancestors’ world; that somewhere along the way, some of us evolved into higher thinkers of the bigger subjects of our lives - one of those subjects being religion. Many, again not all, but many would have you to believe that religion is a myth - some ancient stories passed along by less evolved thinkers; those who feared the world and not among the brave who stand up to old ideas like the big thinkers of today. They pity us and hope that one day our thinking might evolve - or advance to reach a modern standard; one in which Christianity has its place in dusty storybooks of our ancestors.

Ep 73 features Phil Joel, notably of the bands Newsboys, Zealand, and also a prolific solo music career, who has just released his first book Redwoods and Whales. 

Grammy nominated recording artist Phil Joel is on the podcast to celebrate his new inspirational self help book Redwoods and Whales. Phil tells us he wants to help us push aside the things that entangle and lay hold of the lives that we are born to live
