Episode #154: Spirituality and the Praise Band (The Practice of Worship)
Subscribe To This Podcast on iTunesThis episode of the Voices In My Head Podcast was recorded live at the Empower the Church conference in Lima Ohio on Saturday October 24th, 2015. This workshop on spiritual formation deals with the following: Leading worship requires just as much practice as playing an instrument, learning to sing, and writing music does. This goes not only for the worship leader, but it also applies to the other singers and musicians on your team. In order to do our calling well, it requires practice. As the leader of a worship team in a church I have found that one of my most challenging tasks is not just teaching the congregation to worship, but teaching our musicians to worship. This workshop will focus on the practice of intentional spiritual growth in your praise band members as a regular part of your practice times. Practicing the presence of God together is as essential as practicing your music together. @RickLeeJames This is a public episode.

Episode #148: The Dirty Parts of the Bible with Sam Torode
My guest this week on the Voices In My Head Podcast is Sam Torode. Sam is a writer, a visual artist, and a singer living in in Nashville, Tennessee. On his Father's side of the family, Sam is related to Henry David Thoreau and on his mother's side are Texas farmers, preachers, outlaws, banjo players, and Cherokee Indians.His novel "The Dirty Parts of the Bible," reflects both sides, combining religious/philosophical exploration with an epic journey to Texas to reclaim his defrocked minister father's fortune. Sam's writing has been compared to Mark Twain, Sue Monk Kidd, and Flannery O'ConnorPublisher's Weekly gave this really glowing review to "Dirty Parts of the Bible"While the title suggests a raunchy read, this rich and soulful novel is actually a rather well-done coming-of-age story steeped in wanderlust and whimsy that at times recalls The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and at others a tamer On the Road. The story begins in 1936 as 19-year-old Tobias is thumbing his way from Remus, Mich., to his uncle's farm in Glen Rose, Tex., to find a hidden bag of money, after his father, a Baptist pastor, drunkenly slams his car into the church and is removed from the parsonage. The author does an excellent job in making well-charted territory (riding the rails; scavenged campfire meals under the stars) seem vibrant and new. Snippets of scripture, Southern spirituals, and folk ballads lend context and flavor to the text. Most impressive are the jangly dialogue and the characters' distinctive voices, which are authentic and earthy but not remotely hoary. When Tobias finally arrives at his uncle's, the surprises that await him are more than enough to keep his—and readers'—interests piqued." DISCLAIMER: While this is not a dirty podcast, the topic of this week's conversation may not be appropriate for younger ears as we do acknowledge that there is such a thing as sex and that teenage boys think about it.

First Blood Author David Morrell on The Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #146
David Morrell and Sylvester Stallone on the set of First BloodThis week on the Voices In My Head Podcast our special guest isNew York Times Bestselling Author, David Morrell.About David Morrell:In 1972, David Morrell published his debut novel about a veteran with PTSD who returned home from the Vietnam war, bringing the war home with him. The name of this groundbreaking novel is First Blood. It was called “the father of the modern action novel,” and was widely and enthusiastically reviewed. It was also taught in high schools and colleges. It became a 1982 film, starring Sylvester Stallone, and led to a series of films about Rambo, who joined the ranks of the top five internationally recognized thriller icons: Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James Bond, and Harry Potter. In addition to being Rambo's creator, David Morrell also holds a Ph. D. in American literature from Penn State and was a professor in the English department at the University of Iowa where he taught from 1970 to 1986. His numerous New York Times bestsellers include the classic spy novel, The Brotherhood of the Rose, The Fraternity of the Stone, and The League of Night and Fog. Eventually wearying of two professions, Morrell gave up his academic tenure in order to write full time. Shortly after, tragedy struck theMorrell family, as David's fifteen-year-old son Matthew was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and died in 1987, a loss that haunts not only Morrell’s life but his work, as in his memoir about Matthew, Fireflies, and his novel Desperate Measures, whose main character lost a son.In 2007 after 40 years of novels, honors, and awards David Morrell was able to add comic book writer to his resume, writing the acclaimed mini-series turned Graphic Novel, Captain America: The Chosen. Since then he has also written stories for The Amazing Spider-Man as well as the Savage Wolverine.

LISTEN HERE: [audio http://rickleejames.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/episode-108_amy-savin-mp3.mp3] Amy Savin is a talented Christian musician who brings back to Christian music a depth of lyric and intricate artistry slightly lost in recent years. The songs are a beautiful hybrid of haunting and striking melodies set to lyrics that are made for fun listening and personal growth. Amy’s voice and songwriting harkens back to the stylings of Nicole Nordeman with the addition of an understated falsetto range not attempted since the quiet ballads of Rachael Lampa. Amy’s music is pleasantly unique thanks to her break-out vocal updrafts that pierce through tracks like “Hide Me”, “Fly Robin”, “Skylines”, and the Ed Cash smash “Hymn 177”. I have a great conversation with Amy and share a few of her songs on this week's episode of the Voices In My Head Podcast.Amy Savin's Web Site: www.AmySavin.com "Freely you received, freely give." -- Matthew 10:8Get a free Easter album with Sheet music from Rick Lee James on NoisetradeEaster Worship Experience 2014 with Rick Lee James on Noisetrade.com[caption id="attachment_2603" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Click Here To Download Album and Lead Sheets[/caption][caption id="attachment_9210" align="aligncenter" width="215"] Get Rick Lee James' Email Updates[/caption][caption id="attachment_9147" align="aligncenter" width="300"] @RickLeeJames[/caption] This is a public episode.
