Learning To Trust – Episode #259

Hi Everybody,

Well, I’m postponing the next planned episode featuring Old Guys With Guitars to focus on where we are presently. We’re on hold, paused, waiting AND learning to trust. Give a listen to Episode #259, LEARNING TO TRUST with Jesus music from John Michael Talbot, Benny Hester, Dogwood, Twila Paris, David Meece and many more.

It’s so hard to wait for so many yet, God is fully aware and in control. He knows what He is doing. These Jesus music songs carry a message of encouragement for what you may be going through today. Go to PLAYLISTS just above, 251-Present and give a listen.

Thanks again to my faithful few who support the show. If you’d like to help out, go to the top right of the page and use the GIVE button. All gifts are tax exempt. Thanks!

Girls With Guitars – Episode #260

Hi Everybody,

I’ve thinking lately that, the “girls need to be heard,” thus this episode, #260, called GIRLS WITH GUITARS. I’m going to be doing something a little different this time because all the songs on the program feature girls from mostly the early 70’s and 80’s who played guitars as pioneers of early Jesus Music.

There’ll be some folk rock from Jamie Owens and Pam Mark in their younger years before they were married and took on other last names. Also on the show we’ll hear from the ever popular “First Lady of Jesus Music” Honeytree and later Amy Grant who took up that mantle in the 80’s. Also I’ll feature a couple of women who could “rock” including Margaret Becker and the amazing Rachel Rachel. You’ll also be hearing from a few names you may not have heard of.

Thanks to the faithful ones who continue to make FULL CIRCLE available to you. They can never know how much they are appreciated.

But Forgiven – Episode 258

Hi Everybody,

You’re hearing a whole lot about injustice nowadays, but not a whole lot on forgiveness. Yes, justice can help to implement change but real lasting change comes when the heart, soul, mind and spirit are all transformed by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. And this change begins with forgiveness.

So it is with that in mind that the songs on this episode reflect on the spirit of forgiveness. You’ll hear from Eddie DeGarmo, Michael Card and Bruce Hibbard, rockers Kenny Marks, WhiteHeart and Petra, female singers Kim Boyce, Michele Pillar and Twila Paris, plus a few other surprises along the way.

Sorry the show was delayed as the giving to FULL CIRCLE is down but thanks to Denzel Pollack, Tom Tatlow and Steven Weyhrich, we got it done. Thanks.

Pass the show on to others. Who knows if the power of the words in these songs could change their life?

Not Forgotten on Episode #257

Hi Everybody, On this episode I’ll be featuring songs from those musicians who started out in the 1970’s but by the mid to late 80’s seemed to have had less of an impact for a variety of reasons. That’s not a putdown but we tend to forget what’s not in the limelight and here are some songs and artists, that we don’t want to forget.

Some of the artists you’ll be hearing from include Jesus music veterans Randy Stonehill and The 2nd Chapter of Acts. Singer / Songwriters Barry McGuire, Chuck Girard and Paul Clark. The husband and wife duo known as Farrell & Farrell. Female songstress Jamie Owens Collins. As well as Keith Green and Larry Norman, both of whom have gone on to be with the Lord.

Many have told me that you loved the 80’s Jesus music, so we’ll probably do this again and try to get to other songs you want to hear. Why not write me at info@fullcirclejesusmusic.com and let me know what to add to this list.

As always, thank you for considering and giving your support to FULL CIRCLE at the “Giving Fuel” button at the top right of the page.

Hi everybody, On this episode I want to explore, Dreams and Visions. Ever had any? God uses them to communicate with us, giving us direction and in some cases get our attention when we are not listening.

You’ll hear from Jesus music pioneers Alwyn Wall and Darrell Mansfield, 80’s singer/songwriters David Stearman and Paul Smith, female artist Stephanie Boosahda and Twila Paris, the husband and wife duo of Farrell & Farrell as well as some other less well known musicians who have touched on the topic of Dreams & Visions.

Tasty Leftovers, Served Up on Episode #255

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.

Episode #254 – A Steve Scott Retrospective

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!

On With The Fight, Episode #253

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!!
