You're listening to the Allender Center podcast with Dr. Dan Allender.

This week, Dan is joined by Lauren and Daniel Gones of the band Loland Humb,

whose music were pleased to feature as our new intro.

Dan asks the duo about their journey as songwriters and about creating art that invites people into a larger, more hospitable experience of the gospel.

Thanks so much for having us.

why you're on and where this conversation's going. First of all, the music that you just

listened to as you began the podcast, certainly the music that you will listen to as you end this podcast, come from a group

called Loland Hum. Tell me about Loland Hum, you two.

So, Leland Hum is our band. We started the band. Our first year of marriage. Originally, I was writing songs before I met Lauren. Our romance started. She started singing with me some. Then once we were married, we began to write together.

Oh, you're right.
