Ep 120 - THE WOOD DRAKE SESSIONS: Returning to hope through the path of pain

Meet the Wood Drake sessions. Comprised of musicians and ministers Paul Ranheim and Kirk Sauers, the long-time friends began songwriting over Zoom during COVID-19. And what began as long conversations reflecting on the chaos and pain in the world turned into music – an attempt to reorient their hearts towards God and find what was good and beautiful in the world. Jess chats to Paul and Kirk about their crowdfunded album, "From The Valley To the Golden Shore," and what it means to write music for the church that addresses Biblical truths like justice and equity.
