The [Almost] Farewell Tour: Russ Taff and Steve Taylor Concert Review
When Russ Taff released his latest album, Cover Story, it felt like a new chapter, and maybe a reinvention for the gospel icon. On Sunday, March 15th, Russ embarked on another new chapter, kicking off The [Almost] Farewell Tour, accompanied by fellow Christian music legend, Steve Taylor, in Nashville, Tennessee. From the moment he emerged from the wings, Taylor brought an intense energy and exuberance to the stage over the course of roughly ninety minutes, delivering a catalogue of beloved bangers spanning four decades, from I Want to Be A Clone to Squint (even the recent theme to The Dead Sea Squirrels.) In four decades, Taylor’s gift for weaving new…

Third Day Kicks Off Reunion Tour TODAY
The Third Day 30th Anniversary Tour kicks off today, and around here we’re celebrating the only way that makes sense… by declaring it Third Day “Day.” That’s right. It’s a holiday now. For 30 years, Third Day has been the soundtrack to road trips, youth camps, worship nights, and probably at least one slightly questionable church van speaker system. And now, somehow, unbelievably, gloriously… they’re back on stage together. And yes, it feels as good as you want it to. Let’s Revisit the Moment We Knew This Was Real The day it all went public, I sat down with Mac Powell and you could just tell, something was different. There was…

Stuck in Space? Astronaut Butch Wilmore Says It Was God’s Plan
The first time I saw Butch Wilmore, he didn’t see me. He was strapped into the Boeing Starliner and I was across the street. My son Ryker and I were on vacation in Orlando when he burst into our room early one morning with the kind of excitement only a kid can bring before most adults have even had coffee. “Dad, they’re about to launch.” Still half asleep, I did the math. We were about 45 minutes from Kennedy Space Center. I gave him the speech every Florida dad eventually gives. “Look, a lot of these get scrubbed.” But we drove out anyway. Across the street from the launch…
