"Church got too polished. Too professional. So professional that we stopped making room for people to grow." — Courtney Beard
In this no-holds-barred conversation, Gerard Bonner sits down with Courtney Beard — a true multi-hyphenate who went from Broadway stages and Gap Band tours to call centers, pulpits, and purpose.
Courtney opens up about:
-
Singing with legends like Jennifer Holliday and the Gap Band
-
How fame nearly wrecked his marriage and his faith
-
The moment Shirley Murdock laid hands on him and everything changed
-
Why modern church culture may be killing creativity
-
How God literally “fired” him to save his soul
-
And the painful road back to ministry, manhood, and meaning
This isn’t just an episode — it’s a masterclass on redemption, resilience, and finding your voice when you’ve almost lost it all.
Tap in. You won’t forget this one.
