Summary
John Cooper joins me for another “mashup” episode going out to both our platforms this week! In this episode, we talk about the state of Contemporary Christian music, and how we got to a place in history in which industry insiders are promoting and defending anti-Christian values among their artists. We cover everything from recent events such as a drag queen topping the iTunes Christian charts to recent deconstruction stories to who owns the Christian record labels. We end with some encouragement and a hopeful call to the church to return to the fear of God and holiness.

| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody? Listen, listen, we got a mashup today. Yes. My good friend, Lisa |
| 0:16.3 | Childers. I don't know if we ever made a name for our mashup shows. I think we called |
| 0:20.7 | him children stuff maybe. I love it. That works. Yeah. I think that's what it was. Um, but |
| 0:26.5 | it's great to be talking with you again. I think this kind of started because we're both very |
| 0:31.4 | passionate about this issue we want to talk about today. Christian music. Obviously you were |
| 0:36.3 | involved in Christian music. I'm involved in Christian music. And it looks like you're kind of |
| 0:41.1 | getting back involved in Christian music again. I don't know if you want to say something about that. |
| 0:44.8 | Yeah. Ish, you came out with your new song recently, which is so cool. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I just, |
| 0:50.2 | you know, over the course of the last 10 years, I have gone back to the piano time and time again, |
| 0:56.4 | just to worship. And even a lot of times when I had some sort of overwhelming thing happening, |
| 1:01.4 | I would just sing biblical truth to encourage my own spirit. And so I never thought I'd record all |
| 1:06.4 | those songs, but I've just done it. I've recorded a five song EP that's coming out no label. We're not |

| 1:17.6 | for free. And, um, yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. But that's up at Alisa Childers.com slash |
| 1:23.6 | music. Yeah. Yeah. Good. We're going to plug that. I like it. So basically in the last week, |
| 1:30.8 | I don't know if it's been more than a week, Alisa, but I see that you got in some, you got in some, |
| 1:35.5 | some sweet social media. What do you call it? Battle, battle. Me? Me? |
| 1:42.4 | Yes. With your stuff for Flamie Grant. And, you know, I did an episode last week that I called |
| 1:49.3 | the rot in Christian music, I think is what I called it. And so there's this big controversy that's |
| 1:56.2 | happened. And I think that me and you should talk about it. I think we're both pretty on fire, |
| 2:00.7 | about it. We're pretty fired up about what's going on now. So maybe we start there and explain to |
| 2:05.2 | people what's going on. Yeah. Well, I'll start with a little bit of my history. So when I was in |
