We’re so excited to kick off Black History Month 2021 with this conversation between Chris Baker and JJ Hairston. Chris and JJ talk about how artists wanting to echo what’s popular is an epidemic in the music industry today, and that being excited about your unique identity yields more longevity than chasing what’s popular.JJ also encourages all of us that even in this long season of waiting, we’re all still growing and we’ll be even more prepared for the next season because we’ve faced such a long moment of not having our typical comfort crutches to lean on. | For more on JJ Hairston visit: https://www.jjhairston.com/ | Find us @multitracks + @multitracksgospel  // multitracks.comJJ Hairston's "Great Jehovah" is also our Play of the Week this week!

Pat Barrett (@patbarrett) comes on the podcast to break down the songs on his upcoming album and the place they came from. He talks about how the success of “Good Good Father” was one of the truest examples of the notion that someone else can be helped in their faith journey by something you’ve personally walked through, how “true religion is camera shy,” and how resisting the incentive of being overly performative with our prayer and worship may seem counter-intuitive in this day and age but is so crucial. Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly is coming February 26th. Check out this episode for an intimate deep dive into the songs and their inspiration! | For more on Pat Barrett visit: http://www.patbarrettmusic.com/ | Find us @multitracks  // multitracks.comFollow us @multitracks // @multitracksgospel // @leadworshipwellwww.multitracks.com
