Wise Words 27: Nick De Partee - Frequency.FM

In August we shared the first installment of our coffee shop conversation with the wonderful Nick De Partee.  There is still a lot more to come, but while we’re queuing that up, we felt the need to share some of the love this week via Wise Words – if for no other reason than earlier this month, Nick and Ally introduced to the world an amazing little man: Amos De Partee. We hope you enjoy Nick’s thoughts on the importance of being true to your own individual artistic voice, and we offer prayers of thanksgiving and rest to Nick and Ally.

Wise Words 26: Sarah MacIntosh - Frequency.FM

Returning to our roots again this week, we feature an excerpt from an interview with singer/songwriter Sarah MacIntosh that was recorded for The Songwriter’s Cafe back in 2012 on the heels of the release of her excellent album, Current.  Sarah discusses the importance of marrying lyrics and melody in her songwriting process. On a related note, Sarah and her husband (very talented music producer Jonny MacIntosh) are working to finalize the adoption of a beautiful little boy, and they are reaching out to supporters to help pull together the last funds to cover the remaining legal fees.  We’d encourage you to visit their YouCaring.com fundraising page and learn more about their story and considering contributing.

Daniel Darling: At the Intersection of Faith and Culture - Frequency.FM

We’re always excited when Dan takes a turn in the interviewers chair, and Episode 26 is just such an occasion.  We had the unique opportunity to engage with pastor and author Daniel Darling, who also happens to be the Vice President for Communications for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Wise Words 24: Preston Sprinkle - Frequency.FM

Last year, we had an engaging conversation in Episode 9 with author Preston Sprinkle.  His thoughtful and intelligent book Fight: A Christian Case for Non-Violence intrigued and impressed us.  We also recognized the discipline and rigor required to research and write a book that is complete, compelling, and readable.  In this excerpt, Preston shares two approaches he employs to improve his work.

Without question, our Episode 12 interview with Emily Freeman is the among the most popular we’ve produced.  Her book A Million Little Ways is a must for the Christian artist.  In this excerpt, Emily discusses how being moved by an artist’s work may be less about the medium itself than the heart of the artist’s delivery.

Wise Words 22: Emily Freeman - Frequency.FM

Our contributor Mark Newton loved Emily T. Wierenga’s striking memoir,  Atlas Girl and said as much in his review.  So when presented with the opportunity to chat with the author herself, we jumped at it.  The result is an engaging conversation that examines the book’s central theme of finding home.  In addition, Emily discusses the role of art in her upbringing, the challenge of self-promotion, and the non-profit she recently founded, The Lulu Tree. Other notes: * You can read our review of Emily’s book, Atlas Girl, here: https://www.frequency.fm/atlas-girl-by-emily-t-wierenga/.  Joe recorded an audio version of the review and, apparently, pronounces Emily’s last name correctly. * Dan and Joe discussed the app PrayerMate.  Here are the links: Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geero.prayermate) and iTunes App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prayermate-christian-prayer/id434815549?mt=8) * Since we last posted a full episode, we’ve introduced Quick Reviews of new music releases.  Check them out now – good, bad, or otherwise: https://www.frequency.fm/category/quick-review/ * Leave a review on iTunes.  We’ve provided the link to both the US and Canadian sites:  (US: https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2; Canada: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2 Quick Links for Emily Wierenga: * Website: http://www.emilywierenga.com/ * Twitter: https://twitter.com/emily_wierenga * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emilytwierenga * The Lulu Tree: http://thelulutree.com/ Quick Links for Frequency: * Frequency on Twitter * Frequency on Facebook * Frequency on Google+ * Dan on Twitter, Google+,
