A Major Milestone: The Evolution of My Voice Behind the Mic
2025 wasn’t just about where I went — it was about what I said, and how I said it.
1. “Faith’s Journey” → “Broken and Believing”
This wasn’t a rebrand. It was a revelation.
“Faith’s Journey” was a good title, but it was crowded. Too many voices using the same phrase. Too many echoes. Not enough room for the raw, blues‑soaked honesty that defines my ministry.
“Broken and Believing” is unmistakably mine.
It speaks to the people I serve — the ones who are hurting but hopeful, wounded but walking, cracked but still carrying light. It’s the heart of my ministry, distilled into three words.
This shift marks the beginning of a movement, not just a podcast.

2. “Behind the Rose” — A New Podcast for The Blusician
This was the other half of the transformation.
“Behind the Rose” gives me a place to talk about the craft — the fretboard lessons, the stories behind the songs, the discipline of practice, the spiritual side of music, and the journey of becoming a Blusician.
It’s intimate.
It’s honest.
It’s legacy work.
Together, these two podcasts form a complete picture of who I am:
• Broken and Believing — my soul
• Behind the Rose — my craft
Two lanes. One voice.

What 2025 Taught Me
1. Consistency is its own ministry
Showing up — month after month — builds trust and momentum.
2. My identity is integrated now
Pastor. Musician. Storyteller. Advocate.
Not separate roles — one calling expressed in different ways.
3. Community matters more than crowds
Farmer’s markets, family gatherings, bike rallies — these are the places where real ministry happens.
4. My voice is clearer than ever
The podcast shifts weren’t cosmetic. They were spiritual. They were strategic. They were necessary.
5. I’m building something bigger than events
This year laid the foundation for Broken and Believing, for new music, for civic engagement, for storytelling, for legacy.

Looking Ahead
2025 was a year of alignment. A year of clarity. A year of becoming.
In 2026, I want to:
• Preach with more intention
• Play with more freedom
• Write with more courage
• Build community with more depth
• And keep telling the truth — through sermons, through strings, through stories, through podcasts
If this year taught me anything, it’s this:
I am broken and believing.
I am behind the Rose.
And I am still becoming.
