This week we are honored to have 11x Grammy-nominated Gospel powerhouse Marvin Sapp on the podcast! He shares the responsibility he feels as an artist to deliver “horizontal” messaging that causes people to have a vertical relationship with God, why he always prioritizes singing classic hymns, and most importantly, how he keeps it “churchy and funky.”

He also talks about how he balances ministry and family and how there are some “foundational things we should simply never leave” when it comes to congregational classics. Marvin is considered to be one of the most influential voices in Gospel music. We're honored to share this conversation we believe will leave a mark on your life.

“IYKYK” is a play on the popular online acronym, meaning “if you know you know." The lyrics are meant to inspire listeners to find their identity in their relationship with Christ. “This song is not just for young people; we’re all faced with what culture celebrates – whether it’s status, wealth, or relationships. We’ve found that all of those things are temporary, but God’s promises are eternal,” says Davide Mutendji of ELEVATION RHYTHM.

ELEVATION RHYTHM is the sound of Elevation YTH, the youth ministry of Elevation Church. Formed in 2019, ELEVATION RHYTHM believes in writing and recording songs to engage hearts and bring a new cadence of hope to the current generation. Their song Never Walk Away claimed the #1 spot on Billboard's Christian Music Hot AC/CHR chart. 

Their latest single IYKYK is about trusting in the big picture that the Lord is at work in your life right now, even if you can't see the details. "It is not HOW you know. It is not WHAT you know. It is WHO you know."

Producers Peter James & Greg Burkin have teamed up to bring you an amazing bundle of Rhodes and Atmospheric Pads! The 1980s MKII Fender Rhodes has a sound unlike any other. Now it's available in MainStage, Logic, and StageReady.

The MKII was sampled at 8 velocity layers through a Shadow Hills Equinox preamp, then processed Peter’s favorite Strymon BigSky presets as well as other reverbs. The end result was an incredibly detailed dry Rhodes tone, unique and deep ambient pads, and amazing effected Rhodes tones combining the two. Check out the Ultimate Rhodes Collection today!

"This Ensemble Project from is special because it gave us the opportunity to reimagine some of our favorite songs from our album Altars.  This project is stripped back in instrumentation and production but filled with passion and energy!  We wanted to bring a new sound, a new perspective, a new reflection of our church to this project while keeping the powerful message of these songs.  In many ways, the truth of these songs is clearer than ever!"
