Summary
In this breakthrough episode, we sit down with Brian Johnson, the co-founder of Bethel Music (one of the largest faith-based record labels in the United States), and together tackle some of life’s most difficult topics, along with how to find freedom within them, including:
-“When God becomes real,” and those crippling times in life where turning to God becomes your only option (and the paradoxical freedom that can only be found in true surrender)
-How “compromise” is a gradual path to destruction
-The power of music and worship to weather even the most intense storms that life hits us with
-How overextending yourself, even with GOOD things, can be a recipe for disaster and lead to mental and physical breakdown
-Why “crutches” aren’t (and are never meant to be) a permanent solution to any life “injury”
-How God shows up and works through our pain
And so much more.

| 0:00.0 | It sounds like the most bizarre thing, but there's a story in the Bible. My dad actually started |
| 0:04.3 | teaching me this when I was seven because of what I was going through. There's a story in the |
| 0:07.2 | Bible where they went out to war and they didn't go out with weapons. They went out singing, |
| 0:11.9 | which is complete insanity. And it says in the Bible, it says, God, turn the enemies on each other |
| 0:17.3 | and they killed each other and then basically they won just through worship, through praise. |
| 0:22.3 | Let me remember just singing worship songs to God. You know, like songs like I love you Lord, |
| 0:27.1 | and I lift my voice. You know, you know, what you can say without a band. And I remember just |
| 0:31.6 | night after night, you know, and here's this crazy is like it worked. It's like the piece of |
| 0:37.2 | heaven would come on the tail end of just singing those simple worship songs and just worshiping God. |
| 0:42.8 | As a seven-year-old, and I had no idea obviously then what I'm going to be doing now, |
| 0:46.8 | you know, I didn't jump into music because I thought it was cool. I jumped into music because it saved my life. |
| 0:58.0 | All right, what is up guys and welcome to another exciting episode of the Bourne to Impact |
| 1:04.2 | Podcast. We are here with a really special guest today, a gentleman that I admire, |
| 1:10.0 | followed his work for a number of years. His name is Brian Johnson. He is the founder of Bethel Music. |
| 1:16.6 | I go to Bethel Conference, which we've talked about on the podcast before actually. And if you're |
| 1:20.9 | on my newsletter email newsletter list, you've gotten emails that were connected with some of the |
| 1:25.9 | times and the stories and the experiences that we were having while at Bethel. So I'm excited to |
| 1:31.5 | have Brian as a guest. He has a new book that's really eye-opening. It's going to help so many |
| 1:37.0 | people because it comes from a very sincere and vulnerable place, which is always the best place |
| 1:42.0 | to start, which is being real. Before we get into the content there, I just want to remind you guys |
| 1:47.7 | that this is the one and only podcast specifically designed to move you further towards |
| 1:52.4 | living the life that you were born to live. With every episode, our goal is to give you clear and |
