Musician, composer, and author Byron Easterling joins Jan to talk about the presence of God in worship, a wild encounter in a London hotel lobby,
the blessing his father spoke over him before passing away,
and the one question that can unstick anyone who feels spiritually stuck.
A conversation about calling, mentorship, and never retiring from the gifts God has placed in you.
Psalm 71:18 — “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.”
Jeremiah 33:3 — “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
