Love Good Music

In this week’s episode, Jimmy and Alanna tackle the difficult topic of whether or not institutions (governments, churches, schools, families) can be fully trusted. What is the root of institutional disease, and how does a member cope with disillusionment? What parts do loyalty, skepticism, and hope have to play? Our hosts each bring a slightly different perspective to the table - but as always, they find plenty of common ground when digging into this painfully relevant topic.. . .TIRED OF BEING A PASSIVE CONSUMER?

This episode features a unique conversation within the context of what we do here at Love Good - the adventure presented by mystery. Jimmy and Alanna have perhaps their most candid talk yet as they explore the topic of chaos and order - within the universe and within ourselves. If we are living life beautifully, artfully, and authentically, it becomes really hard to live it dogmatically. While there is objective truth, the way that that truth changes us and forms us changes person-to-person, season-to-season. Listen in to hear how dark matter parallels with all of this!. . .TIRED OF BEING A PASSIVE CONSUMER? So are we.

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with internet sensation Cimorelli, the sister-band who have over four million subscribers (and over a billion views!) on Youtube. In 2009 the sisters uploaded a cover of Miley Cyrus' hit "Party in the USA," and the video went viral. From there, the sisters have seen their fanbase expand enormously, and have honed their online presence (and taken control of their careers) over the past nine years. In this delightful conversation, the sisters share their thoughts on what makes them work as a band, what kind of message they're seeking to share with the world, and what's next for them as individuals (wedding bells for eldest sister Christina!) and as a group.. . .TIRED OF BEING A PASSIVE CONSUMER?

In this episode, Jimmy & Alanna analyze a few utterly ridiculous scenarios before jumping into the topic of home: what does it mean to be "at home"? How does our origin affect who we become, and what is our role in reclaiming it if it's been broken or lost? Listen in as two friends share thoughts on this multifaceted subject, with its particular offshoots of loneliness, friendship, and choosing to be rooted.. . .TIRED OF BEING A PASSIVE CONSUMER?

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with 9-time Grammy Award nominee Matt Maher, a Nashville based musician and worship leader. Together they discuss the topics of time, being part of a meaningful liturgy, the pervasiveness (and subversiveness) of anxiety, the unchangeability of the past, and how love Incarnate is the answer to every riddle life throws our way. Matt also shares about his new Christmas album and what inspired him as a musician and as a father to finally get into the studio to lay these tracks down after five years of planning.. . .THIS WEEK ONLY: Subscribe as a Love Good patron and get your first month (and Matt Maher's new Christmas album) absolutely FREE.

In this Love Good exclusive interview, Jimmy has a visit with Washington native Tyson Motsenbocker, who joins him on the podcast from his current home in San Diego. In one of the most sincere conversations we’ve published, Jimmy and Tyson mainly explore how the life and death of Tyson’s beloved mother impacted him as a person and artist, and how the suffering inherent to this earthly journey is an invitation to remain open to the idea that there’s something more going on than meets the eye.

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with world traveler and singer-songwriter Matt Wertz. They pull no punches as they dive into the real and raw places that bridge the gap between church and culture. Matt shares his thoughts on the value of hardship and life-experience, exploring the idea that an insulated life is one that lacks the ability to be truly compassionate and artistic: radical availability to life, and to the people life brings your way, is key to flourishing as a person. They also take a look at the differences of approach to music in Nashville and Los Angeles. Matt's enthusiasm for change is infectious as he describes the evolution of his music and its production. . . . RAISE YOUR STANDARD FOR MEDIA AND CULTURE.

In this episode, Jimmy hops home from Europe long enough to catch up with Josh Hunt, lead singer of the sibling band The Hunts. Josh shares his summer plans (family reunion in sunny Florida), and then they explore the evolution of the band, the challenges that come with being part of an opinionated (but loving) family, the band’s unique way of approaching songwriting, and the value of conflict in distilling decisions and outcomes. What does it really mean to collaborate, and to evolve? What’s it like to be on the “inside” of a family band?
