Great episode, maybe a few hip-hop songs can be sprinkled in UTR episodes every week?...

“Jump the shark”? really?

reformed hip hop is a sub genre of a sub genre of a sub genre - you can’t get any more under the radar!!!

If this show ever jumped the shark it’s when you featured a band that has sold over 150 mil albums! But all is forgiven now!

Dave, not only was this a gutsy show that was totally true to your mission, but your song selection was brilliant.

Several artist that i’d not heard or even discounted I will be now checking out.

Let’s get this out in the open. The issue is that, like it or not, you’re a ‘white’ show and this is ‘black’ music. Ouch! Colour lines run deep and it’s hard for us to get out of our comfort zones.

But what I heard on this show were Christian artists that are far more in the word than pretty much any white guy with a guitar that you could name. (And for the record I am an Andrew Peterson/Osenga/Gullahorn white guy with a guitar type of guy).

I’d say to any of your listeners (and sponsors!) this is a hard show to get into - cause we all want the familiar stuff that we already love. But anytime UTR delivers that (Christmas best of show) it’s failed in it’s purpose.

We need you to be courageous Dave and play us stuff that opens our horizon. And you did that big style on this podcast.

PS Kudos to walk the way for getting into the theme of the show. truly incarnational.
