More Than Music

More Than Music

The “More Than Music” Podcast is a passion project hosted by Emily Hamilton, Johnny Hamilton and Jeff Luckey from the band For All Seasons. It’s a collection of conversations between the band members, guests that are smarter than they are, and….YOU! They pull back the curtain on the specific songs and discuss the heart behind them: uncovering everything in the process from initial ideas to the finished product. Their goal is to lead from their wounds, and not their wins — hoping you identify with their vulnerability, while leaving inspired to pursue the unique passion God has placed in you with care, purity, and purpose. So, whether you’re on the brink of a pursuit, or right in the thick of it, the band’s desire is to champion and inspire art that comes from a heart of service. Honesty and passion enable beauty and feeling to be communicated through song. It’s a feeling so tangible that those sound waves can impact a heart forever. Join them in these conversations as they explore the art and beauty of music. Music by Jy lee and Jeff Luckey Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/faseasons/support

For this "&" episode, we invited our friend & fellow artist, Ryan Ellis, to talk about what our response should be in seasons of feeling far from God. Ryan has lived a lot of life, so he brings an incredible amount of wisdom to this topic. Seasons of feeling far from God are hard to admit at times, and instead of asking "God, where are You?", we hope this episode challenges you to ask some much more necessary and life-giving questi...
