We need God songs – songs that transport our wandering hearts and distracted minds to behold a greater reality.

Without a doubt, that’s why I love the songs of Jon Egan and the Desperation Band.

    Great podcast as always. Really enjoyed Jon’s strong vision for leading worship locally when I’m sure he has had plenty of opportunities to do other things. Such a blessing to listen to this podcast every week.

    Love the “God songs”, that’s exactly what my kids call them too! We need more of that for sure… worship in spirit and truth!

  3. Daniel Pape says

    Loved this interview. “Make A Way” has been rocking our church. We are praying for provision and direction for some specific needs and to hear the story behind the song, being based in miracles through answered prayer is so encouraging.
