My good friend Matt Hires is back to talk about purpose, the ways music transcends the tangible into something deeper and unspoken, coping with uncertainty and discomfort, and HIS NEW SONG, Break No More! Matt is such a real, humble, inspiring, and wise person and I'm so happy he was willing to come back and share his perspective with us. This is the perfect conversation to get back in the swing with Good Humans! And Happy Holidays!Please check out Matt's new single and the rest of his music anywhere music can be found. And maybe grab some merch at matthires.bandcamp.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Phil Drysdale is an author, a speaker, the son of a pastor, a Bible studier, a truth seeker, and some would say, a heretic. Phil is asking the questions of his faith that many Christians are afraid to ask, because the truth usually isn’t in line with the mainline dogma, and he’s talking about it with anyone and everyone that will listen. Phil’s websites, thegracecourse.com, and phildrysdale.com are completely free resources with videos, blog posts, and interviews that talk about meaningful topics, such as “what does the Bible say about being gay?” (hint: not much at all) and “what does faith even mean”? Phil is brilliant and kind and I’m so excited for you to meet him!
