In this Episode I talk with Bobby Harris from the To Hell With You And Back, A Love Story Podcast. Bobby was formerly in booking and promotion while he lived in Texas and Then also in Nashville, Tennessee at Rocketown. We talk about the sometimes not so easy process of transitioning out of the music scene into parenthood, how church has responded, we briefly discussed the Christian Music scene over the last two decades, and the divide between church, and the Christian music scene. Essentially many kids were evangelized by bands, and not churches, and the turmoil of young people trying to enter a church community.
One Specific thing we discussed that I think should be come a continual conversation is developing more effective non profit organizations, and working toward non profit and for profit organizations working more closely to help the communities they are a part of.
this was a great episode and Bobby has taken a more straight forward, no frills approach in teaching and counseling those within the Christian faith community. To Hell With You And Back is a helpful, and refreshingly open podcast for people of all types within monogamous relationships, especially Marriage.
Here is the link to his podcast:
