![[video] christmas wishes, memories, and treats with @smalltownpoets](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/smalltown-poets-christmas-150x150.jpg)
In part one of my two-part interview with Smalltown Poets, we talked about how their Christmas album came together and what Christmas means to them. In part two, we talk about what they would wish for this Christmas, recall some childhood memories, and learn what treats really say Christmas for them. This was the really [...]

We all love a good story, don’t we? I can remember sitting on my grandma’s lap as a very young child, listening to the words and looking at the pictures as she read me story after story. As an older child, I would frequently say, “Mommie, tell me a story.” And then there’s the time [...]

![rocked by abandon for God [an interview with @aaronrgillespie]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/aaron-gillespie-100x100.jpg)
Aaron Gillespie is rock and roll to the core. He’s the former drummer for Underoath, and the current front man for The Almost. And now he has a new solo project out called Anthem Song. I recently had the opportunity to catch up with Aaron and talk with him about what inspired this new project, [...]
the music within me
I don’t want to write today. Because the only story I have within me to be written, I’d rather not write. As my mother once told me, “Sometimes the truth doesn’t need to be shared… because sometimes it doesn’t reflect well on your character.” Although right now would be one of those times, this story [...]

As a 40 (plus) year old white dude, you probably wouldn’t imagine that I’m that into rap music. But I LOVE rap and rock with an edge! So back in the day when Run DMC and Aerosmith did Walk This Way… well, let’s just say that I think that there’ll be music in Heaven just [...]
instruments of transformation [an interview with @children183band]
![instruments of transformation [an interview with @children183band]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/children183-band-100x100.jpg)
Honestly, I hadn’t heard much about these guys before I had the opportunity to review their sophomore album from Tooth and Nail Records. But now I’m hooked! Children 18:3 has a sound that I really enjoy, and even better… they have a great heart for God! So I was pretty excited to have the opportunity to throw [...]

I’ve shared this video before. But if you’ve been following along with the group blogging project on Present Perfect by Greg Boyd, then you’ll understand why I want to share it again. Throughout this project, one theme that keeps recurring is that… God. Is. Here. . FOLLOW THE PROJECT | BUY THE BOOK
music review: rain’s a comin’ [@children183band]
![music review: rain's a comin' [@children183band]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/children18-3_rains-a-comin-100x100.jpg)
I feel like I just clipped my jumper cables to my heart and punched the gas! Or maybe it was the nitrous-oxide that I poured on my Wheaties. Whatever it is, listening to the latest album from Children 18:3 just got me all jacked up… I know it’s not for everyone, but this is my [...]
where you are [by jeremy horn]
![where you are [by jeremy horn]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/skype-jeremy-horn-where-you-are-100x100.png)
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Ardent Records artist Jeremy Horn to talk to him about his faith, the work of the Holy Spirit, and his music. In addition to the standard interview, Jeremy performed one of his songs that he’s planning for release on his upcoming album due out this Fall. [...]
cultivate your heart [an interview with jeremy horn]
![cultivate your heart [an interview with jeremy horn]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/skype-jeremy-horn-100x100.png)
What does it mean to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit? Family man, musician/worship leader, and self-proclaimed high-tech redneck Jeremy Horn says it’s about getting your heart in the right place to be sensitive to the leading of the Lord. Jeremy found himself stepping into his role as a worship leader in the midst [...]
music monday: molly jenson, give it time
I found this one in the undiscovered section section of conversantlife.com, but I know that I’ve heard this song before. It’s catchy too! I think that this track is going to get bumped up in the rotation on my mp3 player… Check out Molly Jenson’s track Give It Time from her album Maybe Tomorrow… You [...]
music monday: john reuben, nuisance
I’m not going to win any awards for getting new releases out there with this one, but I love this guy (John Reuben), and I love this song (Nuisance)! This is another cool one out of Gotee Records… If you like it too, then you can pick it up in the music monday section of the [...]
music monday: worship harvest uganda, amazing grace
As I prepare for my trip to Africa, I am enjoying my research of the local culture. I’ve seen several really cool videos of some worship over there in the native languages. However, I thought that this rendition of the classic Amazing Grace was really cool! Please pray for the church in Kenya and Uganda [...]
music monday: vota, hard to believe
This is another cool act out of INORecords called VOTA (formerly known as Casting Pearls). I believe that they are currently on tour with the Newsboys, and I can only imagine that this would be a pretty hot show to catch! I just discovered on their website that they are working to bring relief from [...]
music monday: flynn adam, dishes
The latest video from Flynn Adam… Flynn Adam has to be one of the funkiest dudes that I know (well except for TobyMac)! His music is fresh, fun, and positive. This is yet another great single from his latest EP. Be careful though, this one could get stuck in your head pretty easily! Check out [...]
interview: joy whitlock
In God and a Girl, Joy Whitlock pours out her heart to God in a very raw and real way. Her debut album from Ardent Records is an amazing conversation between her and her Creator. As I’ve listened to her music, I have often found myself wrapped up in those same conversations as if I [...]
music monday: joy whitlock, faith don't fail
If you haven’t heard of Joy Whitlock yet, then you need to check her out! Her music is honest and raw, and it reflects the life of a prodigal who wants nothing more than to follow Jesus with ever bit of her being. This is an acoustic version of her latest release, “Faith Don’t Fail”. [...]
music monday: grits, open bar
Yeah…. I know that I’ll probably get some flack for this one. But if you know me then you know that I am a BIG hip-hop fan, and these guys are rock-solid in the field of Christian rap! Grits has consistently put out great, Christ-centered music, and this song/video from them is no different. “Livin’ [...]
music monday: agnew+st.james, our great god
This is one of my favorites from the Gospel Music Channel. They have a lot of great live stuff, and sometimes replay individual song performances back as music videos. This one features two great artists, Todd Agnew (I lovehis voice) and Rebecca St. James singing Our Great God… If you like it, then you can [...]
music monday: amena brown, masterpiece
I really believe that more churches need to find a way to incorporate things like this into their worship services. Amena and her amazing poetry are some of the best expressions of worship that I know of. Check out this piece called masterpiece… Related posts: music monday :: amena brown, he is here manly [...]
music monday: flynn adam, such a time
I love just about everything that comes out of Gotee Records (TobyMac’s recording label), and Flynn Adam’s Such a Time is no exception to that rule. Check it out… And if you like it as much as I do, then you can get the MP3 downloads from here!
music monday: peter nevland, no one told me
This music feature is a little different than most, but a treat nonetheless. I’d like to share a cool piece called “no one told me” by slam poet Peter Nevland. Peter doesn’t come from a background of hardship like many with strong messages do. Rather he comes from the average middle-class America where he didn’t [...]
music monday: jason castro, hallelujah
This is a special music monday! That’s because in addition to the song itself, I have to opportunity to share the testimony of the artist! And, in ‘honor’ of American Idol starting its new season this week, I thought that it would be appropriate to share an American Idol performance from last season. Jason Castro [...]
