Michael W. Smith got me through my sons 9.5 month nicu stay. Healing rain was on repeat. He’s 17 months old, on a ventilator still, but he will recover completely. I love his music so much. Brings me back to Jesus every time.
Woke up at 3 am because I couldn’t sleep. MWS was on CZcams and I watched an event he had done live from his living room with family and friends praying for Israel. With all the fakery in Christian music, he’s one of the real ones.
37:40 "I've never really liked that word, whatever" Such a put down - love it 🙌🏿 ✝️ 🧎🏽
LOVED THIS INTERVIEW!!! What an icon! Brought me to tears listening to Michael W. Smith talk about his dad because my dad was the same way.
Moral of the Story...if Michael W. wants to get ahold of you...he will get a hold of you.
"but then the pandemic happened, remember that?" [crickets] 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
John’s testimony just keeps on ministering. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🤲🏻
Wow - great memories. I was born & raised in Nashville in the 70s-90s. I once won front row tickets & backstage passes to see Michael W Smith and a new band that opened for him called DC Talk. That was around 1991-92. I met Michael backstage & took a picture, but DC Talk had already left. I was mad that they left before they allowed us backstage, but was really there to see MWS. DC Talk went on to be huge & then Toby Mac spun off his own records. I'll never forget that concert. It was a once in a lifetime event. Great words of wisdom.
So encouraging! Thank you for having Michael W. Smith on the pod.
Wow. Not what I expected. MWS is legend! Make him a regular.
❤I can't get past the Vietnam 22,000?! Wow
Hands down probably the best one yet. ❤❤
It’s very interesting how much (aka how little) John knows about Europe hahah. I’m from The Netherlands. How do we know about MICHAEL W SMITH?! I was raised on his music man!! This is the first time I have seen/hear him talk like a normal person. He is like Christian worship royalty. Just like in the US. And I’m sure it’s like that in other European countries!!!
My parents went to concerts when we were little and they would go to either Rebecca St. James or Michael W Smith!!! Every holiday in the car (driving 12 hours to France, Michael W Smith cd’s all the way!!
This interview was so fruitful, funny and encouraging. Michael W is such a pillar in Christian music and the faith. God Bless ya John! Keep going in the faith🙏🏾💜
Different style interview, but I liked it. Michael W is a legend in the music industry.
Nice to see MWS talking with JC, having a friendly sit down chat, 😊.
😭😭😭 I wish someone human would have reached out to me. What a gift! That said, God did answer prayers and I met some people that showed me the way out.
Looking for that sweet spot❤
As Christians your stories remind me of the sermon truth I heard preached recently how Jesus leaves the 99 that are following and the 1 stray is a believer so He comes after you to repent and bring u back to the fold..Not lost but true believer..overwhelming ❤️
I never understood that. Does the payable of the 99 mean Jesus does not care about the 99? Of course He does!
Someone explained that it is like losing one of your two kids when out at the mall. Right at that moment "ALL” your attention is focused on finding that child - it does not mean that you don’t care for your other child. 🙌🏿✝️🧎🏽
Such a great interview!! Thank you to both of you. Michael's music has been with me since the 80's...my number one christian artist. I really respect his humble nature. God has truly gifted him. His music has brought me through some really tough times.
Billy Graham and DC Talk.. love that story!!
Such humble and realistic sharing of the gospel. Awesome to see.
Great interview! I’ve been listening to Michael for 40 yrs, and you John, for just a few months, but I love how you shared a common thread…. We’ve all been through stuff. My only “criticism “ would be that John, I feel as though you struggle with making your thoughts more palatable. Dude, just say it! Life is, as Carman used to say,” black is black, white is white. Hell is hot and sin ain’t right.” Be ready to draw some fire for speaking truth, but in the end I believe you will be glad you did.
Aughhhh I met Michael back in 96 working at a Christian bookstore. I'll never forget what I said to him..."Hi...I just want to tell you I'm your NUMBER ONE FAN." 😱😬
Lovely interview, heart touching.
This made me tear up and also feel so good. Great interview and deep thoughts! Thank you!
Will be listening to this a second time. Impacted me more than any other of your podcasts-and you have tons of great ones!!! I needed this one! Thank you!!!
Music! Music is my favorite! Music is universal, it brings people together, it creates momentum, and it's so powerful! Michael's worship music is amazing! I also love worship music by Elevation Worship and Tauren Wells! Tommee Profitt's music is incredible, I love his album A King Is Born! I love all different styles and genres of music. I know what you mean, when you're at a concert, the sound fills the room, it's so captivating and all you can do is be engaged in the moment!
"Once you truly have an encounter with Jesus it's a game changer." Yup! Amen! There is so much wisdom in this podcast. Prayer is powerful! Prayer breaks chains! Thank You Jesus! "God loves you. He just wants to have a relationship with you."
John, I think the enemy tried to discourage you from God's plan for you by making you feel shame and guilt. Or it could have been the Holy Spirit reminding you, no matter what choices you make God will alway love you, be with you, and protect you.
Thank you so much John and Michael for sharing your experience of being in the darkness (drugs and alcohol). John, I'm so glad you're sober! Great testimony! Inspiring!
The founding Pastors of my church we're saved through Bill Graham ministry New Years Day in 1978! Glory to God! I've been serving in my church on the sound tech worship ministry since 2017. The church I go to has been bringing a message of hope to all people for 45 years!
INCREDIBLE! I watched MWS the weekend he was at World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro and it was amazing. He was my first Christian "rock" concert after I was saved(wasn't brought up in church)and that was when I realized music was a very spiritual connection for me and has carried me thru sone crummy times in life, the last 6 years losing everything that mattered to me bc of the "church" and it took me back to that 1st concert in the 80's. This is by far one your best podcasts for me! Thank you both for your genuine conversation, your vulnerability and helping others(🙋🏼♀️)see/remember that, no matter what the enemy tries to convince us of, we are very loved and highly valued by our Abba!❤🙌🙌
Yes and amen!
Budweiser in the 80's... Im a 80's girl that is the truth. We have came a long way in Gods love😂😂❤
This pod was more thought provoking than the others, loved it! My friends and I can’t wait to see you in Joliet 11/3!!
I need to check my heart. Michael is still so dreamy and ... wonderfully married so... 😅
I believe the christian plateform has to be more vocal on their beliefs. I felt michael like he was dodging most of the time. The bible says we have to be bold as lions! Lets go church. The liberals are louder than us.
He is a good guy but he has been dodging taking a stand out loud his whole career. And some of the things he does endorse suggest that he either leans left or, needs much more solid biblical teaching in his life. There are several Christian artists in the same boat. That needs to change.
WOW WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!
Bible belt is a bubble for sure and Im blessed.
They are all the best.
💯
38:08 game changer 🙌🏿✝️🧎🏽
many times it goes to corporate's end of the year "golf" trip. ALWAYS tip in cash
I went to that same crusade John mentions in Atlanta with Billy Graham.
Watching from Evansville- it’s a sad place here. Truly so many are so depressed.
Great show!
In The Chosen, which I consider a high quality production whch stays pretty close to the Biblical narative, not all the actors are believers. Peter, a major role, is played by a non-believing Israeli, the only cast member that I'm aware of from here (Israel). Some of the major character actors have come to faith as a result of their particpation.
come hang out with Jesus ☺
❤❤❤
Michael W. Smith, oh my, I saw you at Lifelight in Sioux Falls, SD, area. The piano, very nice.
My church is tiny so more of a small group vibe .. we read scripture out loud almost every Sunday. Sometimes I read too fast & have to remember to slow down. That would mortify me as a kid but I’m good with it now.
I have to convict you friend. Broadway was definitely poppin before 2018.
❤
DC/LA 2001. Smith and Chapman played. At the beginning and end of the week. A woman in their Bible study had a accident and was dying. We spent the week praying for her and found out at the end of the week she died. The faithfulness of the singers and the story shared about her death have stuck with me. Both singers were real with their pain and faith. Both still cared enough about the youth at the concert to put on an impactful show.
John, I'll help you change the oil ☺
😂❤In my shock about Vietnam with Jon.. Im thinking Jon probably shouldnt go yet because he may say who knows what.. We would be in the Vietnam jail and Michel W Smith would have to bail us out...😂
1:29:30 - Just waiting for the Hitler joke to drop here.. 😭
John, it's okay ☺ I know how to change the oil ☺God loves you
Ti both of you as a Christian I see that is how God lets us lnow.we are His.. So Jon feeling quilty about getting drunk.. is the Holy Spirit living in You. I DO READ THE Bible and drinking wine ok but drunk and drugs and almpst dying BUT not.. You are His!
Michael looks like he has a twinkle in his eye, like the silver lining idea ☺
I read out loud a lot to adults. We play a lot of board games so we read rules and some board games are story driven so we read stories. One of my best friends who is incredibly intelligent nut fumbles when reading out loud so I don't feel that bad when I do it. I went to those special reading classes in school because I was not a strong reader and still don't enjoy reading.
Just like on the movie, Rocketman-a wacky comedy, sings He's got the whole world in His hands ☺
John Cooper for President!!🙌🎶🤘🇺🇲
I got kicked out of my church because I got divorced, can relate
That’s so wrong. I’ve heard it happen, but that’s not supposed to be the way a church handles it! I’m sorry that happened to you.
@@JShore-nn2op I know, it’s super sad and damaging!
Alex!! My husband is JUST like that!! It honestly really frustrates me. Because I want to laugh at it with him. But it takes him WAY too long to get to that point.
When does the special come out?
Is the tipping going to be part of the "social credit score"?
JON... Did you ask Micheal W Smith if he went to the Bars.. on Broadway???!! Only you and my preacher after I went to New Orleans years ago😂😂😂
I was just researching that...I think we all underestimate the power of God.. with all the socialist and communism talk.. No I don't want that but I didn't know you could have church there❤ wow
John, please stop saying LIKE!!!! You are smarter than that, I think? We'll see..be listening to see if you can break your habit!
