Over the holiday there’s always a lot of food to be eaten and most likely some pretty tasty leftovers too. On this episode I’ll be featuring songs that were supposed to be on previous episodes but for one reason or another didn’t quite make it on the air. Ready for some tasty leftovers?

You’ll get to taste some amazing songs from Jesus music pioneers Barry McGuire, Paul Clark, Tim Shepherd and Randy Matthews as well as a few other songs you’ve never tried out before. We even have some English fare with songs from Bryn Haworth and the duo called Phil and John.

Enjoy the tasty treats and if you’d like to bless this ministry in return, all donations to the FULL CIRCLE JESUS MUSIC radio show through GIVING FUEL, are tax exempt and thanks!!

Hi Everybody,

On this episode I’ll been focusing on the more avant garde, experimental Jesus music back in the day, so you the listener, don’t think I only play country rock or ballads, ha. I’ll be visiting with Steve Scott. Now while many of you may not have heard of Steve you have certainly heard of those Christian musicians he influenced and mentored in the early 80’s as you will see in my interview with him.

Steve, he is more than just another Christian musician having delved into poetry, spoken word artristy, speaking at conferences and teaching at schools. He has also contributed articles for several periodicals as well as becoming a published author.

You’ll hear songs from groups he influenced like Randy Stonehill, Charlie Peacock the 77’s band and the late Tom Howard. Give a listen, I think you’ll enjoy this creative guest, reflecting his “true world view” of the Christian culture and faith.

Thanks once again to those who continually underwrite this ministry. You are a blessing!

Much has been said about our current situation around the world. Seems that there’s another new event every day to grip the heart with the fear of the unknown. Yet, there still remains one answer…and on this episode you’ll hear it. The power of the truth of God, will overcome all darkness and fear!! Jesus was raised from the dead and He’s alive and will reign!!

You’ll hear the message in the music from the SWEET COMFORT BAND, ALLIES, GEOFF MOORE, PETRA, DARRELL MANSFIELD and so many more. Let not your heart be overcome by anxiety or fear. Keep your eyes to the sky and you’ll win every battle!

Bob Henninger suggested the theme for this episode on SPIRITUAL WARFARE, sent the music and personally underwrote the show…thanks Bob!! I’m also grateful to Denzel Polliock, Paul French, Greg Lord and Tom Tatlow for their support this month to this listener supported ministry. Would you consider joining this small army and doing your part? All gifts are tax-exempt and appreciated.

We started out the new decade looking back the Best of The 70’s and on this episode, we’re looking at the Best of The 80’s. Of course this is only a sample of the amazing songs of this past decade as there is no way we can cover them all in an hour. But, you’d get a glimpse of the breakthrough songs of a decade that really changed and morphed into todays CCM. (Be sure and go to Playlist-201 to present on the tabs for #251 and #252)

There were so many, many classic artists and songs to try and choose from for this episode…but you’ll hear from Russ Taff, Petra, Michael W. Smith, David Meece, Leslie Phillips and Greg X Volz, to name a few.

Hi Everybody,

First of all I want to thank all of you that responded to Episode #247, with my special guest, Amy Grant, Part One. So, here’s Part Two of the interview with my candid friend and I think you’ll enjoy it. Amy was open and transparent about her journey and what she’s learned along the way.

You’ll hear songs like FIND A WAY, LEAD ME ON, SAVED BY LOVE and one of the most loved songs of all time, THY WORD, and many more!

Amy also shares behind the scenes from the movie I CAN ONLY IMAGINE and how that song ended up on both her and Bart Millards albums. What a great story.

Give the show a listen and remember that FULL CIRCLE is also heard on IHEART RADIO, TUNEIN Radio, Podbean, Itunes Podcasts, Google Play, RoKu and many other locations. Tell your friends and enjoy! Thanks for the support!

Hi Everybody,

It’s been a long time since I spoke with my special guest Amy Grant. The first time I interviewed her, she was 19. I think you’ll enjoy looking back at the songs and memories of an early pioneer of Jesus Music, who’s still going strong.

We’ll look at songs from her first album, her relationship with the DeGarmo and Key Band and the late Rich Mullins. It’s a full show and it’s only Part One!! You’ll hear songs like MOUNTAIN TOP, OLD MAN’S RUBBLE, NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU, SING YOUR PRAISES TO THE LORD and so much more.

Amy has stood the test of time and remains a tender hearted, committed artist that helped shape todays’ CCM. Recently she was honored by the city of Nashville with a memorial sign honoring her and Michael W. Smith, Dogwood, Honeytree, Randy Matthews and others. The sign was erected outside of the Koninowa Christian bookstore, where it all started here in Nashville.

Don’t miss Part One! Tell your friends and write me at info@fullcirclejesusmusic.com and tell me how you like the program. Thanks.

Now you know I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I used to go to the Grand Ole Opry as a boy, but in all this time, I haven’t focused FULL CIRCLE on a country music theme. So, on this episode I’m taking a look back at some of the artists that used the country music platform in order to spread the message of the gospel.

You’ll be hearing from the likes of veteran groups Love Song and Bethlehem. Singer/songwriters Bruce Carroll, Paul Overstreet and Mark Heard, some southern tinged county rock from Ed Raetzloff and even some early Daniel Amos before their rock and roll days. Get your boots on and enjoy this country music theme…and let me know what you think at info@fullcirclejesusmusic.com.
