MIKESCHAIR Interview

As the world looks in on Christianity today, they are looking for honesty and for sincerity. Too often, what they have found is hypocrisy in those who profess to be followers of Christ. As a new generation of bands hits the forefront in Christianity today, we are seeing a transparency that has never been seen before. MIKESCHAIR is one band who is definitely not afraid to openly discuss who they are, hoping that in their journey with the Lord, others may relate and come to know Him as well. MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has ...

Father of the Decade

As I began to consider this concept, I thought it would be fairly easy. After all, how many fathers are there in the world? There must be many that stand out. How much news has been reported in the last ten years? There must be great fathers among the reports. Soon after beginning my research, I realized this was going to be a difficult, if not impossible, task. There are fathers in the news alright. Recently there was Dr. Umaru Abdulmutallab, the father of Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, otherwise known as the "underpants bomber", or the "undergarments bomber", or something like that. He is ...

Interview – Phil Wickham

A few weeks ago, I took a silent retreat into the North Carolina wilderness to get alone with God and to allow him to speak to my heart. I took a copy of 1 cd on my ipod, Heaven and Earth which is Phil Wickham’s latest album that releases on November 17. God spoke to me in many ways through scripture but He allowed Phil’s music to bring me to a point of true worship. I sat down with Phil this morning to talk a little bit about who he is, his career and what inspires his songwriting abilities. History Q- Give ...

Jonny Diaz – Men of God Spotlight

Our God is a God of redirection. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established.” Many of us have planned out our lives, striving to be one thing, only to learn later that God wanted us somewhere else. When we make that commitment to the Lord, we see how God redirects the paths of our lives, leading us to where He always intended for us to be. Jonny Diaz learned this lesson from the Lord and learned that sometimes, that redirection isn’t the easiest thing to accept, but once you ...

Men of God Spotlight: Scott Brosius

At the end of the 1997 season, Scott Brosius wondered where his career was going. He had just completed his worst season in Oakland and now, he was hearing the trade rumors and contemplating where he would be next. God opened a door, one that Scott could not have imagined being opened before that time, reviving his career and providing Scott with a new platform and a new audience. His faith would grow as the Lord moved in so many ways. Scott Brosius is now the head baseball coach at his alma mater. He is in our Men of God spotlight ...

MEN OF GOD SPOTLIGHT :: MARK HALL
Prodigal Son’s Exclusive interview with Casting Crowns lead man Mark Hall

For many people in our world today, hypocrisy is the last thing that they wish to see. They long for truth and to know that they are not alone, wherever they are in life. Many times, they cannot find this from Christians and for Christians who are looking for truth and want to see that other people deal with issues, they struggle to find it in the lives of the people in their church. Everyone in their church seems like spiritual giants, looking down upon them when they fail. A group of youth workers are changing that fact for everyone, singing praise and worshipping God, while being real in their lyrics and their lives.

Casting Crowns has taken the Christian music scene by storm, addressing personal issues as well as current issues of the church with their hard-hitting lyrics and life-changing focus. From hits like “If We are the Body

I think Mark is a great guy. His life has definitely had an impact on mine. I was a youth pastor a few months back and got caught up in the “race” and left my first love, Jesus, in the dust. But, God is all his love reached out to me…

Mark and the rest of the band of Casting Crowns are awesome and there music breaks hearts and changes lives through the witness of Jesus.

Good interview-

Kyle
