There’s more to Consumed By Fire than the music you hear on YNOP. In this special Artist Hallway conversation, Marci sits down with brothers Caleb and Jordan of Consumed By Fire for a personal look at the stories, people, and faith that have shaped their lives. Jordan shares the story of his engagement—a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness—while Caleb opens up about his family and becoming a dad to his new son. The brothers also reflect on their dad. He was a pastor and has had a lasting impact on both of them.  They share fond memories of his eclectic taste in music that helped shape their own musical influences, and how his deep heart for people and his legacy continue to live on through his sons and now into the next generation. And there’s plenty of music to talk about, including their new album, Higher Places.

In this episode of Cade Thompson in the Artist Hallway, Marci gets to know Cade more as he shares some exciting changes in his life recently, including getting married! He gives us a glimpse into this new season and even shares a little about his everyday life, including his morning routine. But this conversation goes deeper than just coffee and how he starts his day. Cade opens up about the people who encourage him, keep him grounded, and support him as he continues to grow in his relationship with Jesus. Cade has a powerful new song, “That’s What the Cross Is For”  listen for it on YNOP! But music and touring aren’t the only ways Cade is serving. When he’s home, he’s also leading worship for young adults at his local church. It’s a role that gives him the opportunity to pour into others while continuing to grow in his own faith. Marci and Cade also tackle some timely topics that affect so many of us. What do you do when anxiety creeps in? How can something as ordinary as scrolling through social media begin to affect our hearts, minds, and perspective? Cade shares his thoughts on navigating these challenges and why staying connected to God, and having a good mentor, matters so much. Of course, they also talk about the music! Cade takes us behind his new song, “That’s What the Cross Is For,” and shares the moment and message that inspired it. Cade explains how one simple phrase became the heartbeat behind a song centered on the incredible hope we have because of Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross. Listen now, and remember: this interview and all of Marci’s Artist Hallway conversations are available anytime on the podcast page!

In this podcast, Marci sits down with one of our favorite Christian artists, Megan Woods, for an honest and encouraging conversation about faith, music, and learning to trust God through every season of life. Megan recently released her powerful new song, “Heaven Down Here,” and we talk about the heart behind the song and what it means to look for glimpses of heaven in the middle of everyday life. Megan also takes us back to the beginning of her journey in music, sharing how her passion for music developed and the experiences that helped shape her as an artist. But one of the most memorable moments of the conversation is the story of how her mom was searching for hopeful music during a difficult time and discovered Casting Crowns. That discovery had a profound impact on her mom’s life, and ultimately became an important influence on Megan’s own faith and musical journey. Throughout the interview, Megan opens up about what God is teaching her right now, including the ongoing process of learning to trust Him more and more. She also shares about the importance of seeking wise counsel and surrounding ourselves with people who can offer godly wisdom, encouragement, and perspective. It’s a conversation filled with stories of God’s faithfulness, the power of music, and the ways He can use a song—or even an unexpected discovery—to change a life. Make sure to stay tuned to Your Network of Praise, where you’ll hear Megan Woods’ new song, “Heaven Down Here” on the radio, online at ynop.org, or on the YNOP Mobile App.

He has a new song out now called 'So Long' and it's another very personal song to Peter where he sings SO LONG to anxiety, shame, regret...If you've struggled with those mental prisons, you are not alone.
