The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

In this episode Dr. James F. McGrath talks with film producers Avril Z. Speaks and Suzanne Watson and writer/director Ryan Daniel Dobson about their new movie Hosea, which explores how the story of Hosea and Gomer in the Bible might unfold in a modern-day setting, and told from the female protagonist's perspective. It is a powerful and provocative movie that you'll want to see, and once you've done so (since the podcast contains spoilers) or if you need persuading to do so, you will definitely want to listen to this behind-the-scenes look at the movie through the lens of the creative team behind it in conversation with a professor who teaches biblical studies.…

How can a book called Saying No To God be an expression of a Christian perspective?
