Maverick City Music’s Chandler Moore, Author Jon Acuff, JoeBro and ‘Dominion Dating’

Episode 880: This week, Chandler Moore from Maverick City Music joins us to talk about the amazing live album they just released in collaboration with Elevation Worship. We talk about how the partnership came about—and how working together unlocked a whole new lane of creative inspiration for them all. For our Quarterlife Conversation (presented by UHSM), we talk to author Jon Acuff about silencing our inner critics and how to re-train our inner voices to encourage—not discourage—our mental health. We also have RELEVANT News and at the end of the show, the triumphant return of “What’s Jesse Thinking.” But can we be honest? The only thing you’re going to remember from all that is the what-in-the-world-is-happening Slices segment that absolutely gets derailed by some JoeBro news and Dominion Dating. The thing is, it doesn’t just stay in Slices. That conversation shows up all show long, gets crazier and crazier, and just, please be warned that the end of the episode maybe shouldn’t be played on the car speakers if little ears are in the vicinity. Yes, we know it’s a long episode. But trust us, that ending is what people are going to be talking about 6 months from now 😂 ...

The film, which debuts today, tells the true story of Fred Hampton (played by Kaluuya), the electrifying 21-year-old civil rights activist and Black Panther Party leader.
