This week we spotlight worship leader and former Delirious? frontman Martin Smith. He has a new solo album out (God's Great Dance Floor, Step 01) and he shares with us his heart for God and these new songs he's created. We also talk to innovation leader Bobby Gruenewald. As part of the LifeChurch.tv team, Bobby helped create the YouVersion Bible App, which has been downloaded over 90 million times! And we unveil a new theme (and theme song) for our summer, which includes a Jesse Carey singalong. Let's just say we now understand why Jesse is a writer and not a singer...

This week we spotlight one of our favorite new bands, Leagues. The Nashville rock n' rollers, fronted by industry veteran Thad Cockrell, make music that will force you to sing along and dance, and as summer approaches, we're positive this will be your windows down, volume up, go-to album. We also get a listener on the line to play a game against newly-knighted podcaster, Tyler, and we debate the trustworthiness of some of our world's greatest celebrities.

(No matter what you think about Rob, it's a surprising interview that deserves a listen.)

This week we talk to one of our favorite artists, Michael Gungor. His band, Gungor, has just finished recording their upcoming album, so he talks to us about the process and his take on being labeled a "worship" band. We also talk to columnist Kirsten Powers (USA Today, Fox News, ) about the Kermit Gosnell abortion clinic murder trial. Kirsten was the one who initially made the cry that this story should be front-page news, and she brings up some fascinating points in our conversation with her (don't miss the full interview below). And it wouldn't be a podcast without a new Hoodman story, so you can look forward to that too!
