As World War II rages, a teenage boy in Germany is forced to confront a terrible truth—loyalty to his country now means loyalty to a lie. When his trusted bishop urges obedience to the Nazi regime, he begins to question everything. And after his Jewish friend is taken away, he secretly listens to banned radio broadcasts and launches a resistance, exposing the truth. But in a nation ruled by fear, defiance comes at a cost—and as the regime closes in, he must decide what it truly means to be a good German.

On today's show, we chat with Jenn Chenoweth!
South Florida-based singer/songwriter and SEU Worship alum Jenn Chenoweth about her debut EP, Out To Get Me. The autobiographical project released August 29th!
The daughter of a pastor, Jenn was raised with a firm foundation of faith, but she grappled with anxiety and low self-esteem for many years and struggled to view God as a loving father. In addition, in 2019 her jaw unexpectedly locked open while she was eating lunch one day. This triggered constant chronic pain for nearly two years as Jenn received various treatments for TMJ disorder. Through this lengthy healing process, God began to reveal even greater depths of His love for her, rekindling Jenn’s passion to proclaim His goodness through music. The EP title, Out To Get Me, reflects Jenn’s ultimate realization that God wasn’t out to get her like a taskmaster, but He was out to get her and bring her to Him—a loving Father, Shepherd and Friend.
