Join Wayburn Dean and host Jay as they delve into the transformative power of song, from Grammy-winning heights to the unexpected depths of prison ministry. With 35 years of singing experience, Wayburn shares his first prison encounter, where he witnessed something he'd never seen before - authentic and spiritual worship that transcended the prison walls. But what is the real purpose of music? Is it to evoke a feeling or to play to the audience of One? Jay reflects on the albums he used to listen to growing up and how not all music today is of God. He also tackles tough questions, like which Psalms are invalid because of David's sins, and how to lose the Spirit of God. Through his story, Wayburn Dean illustrates the dangers of pride and the importance of seeking a genuine connection with God, even in the darkest of places. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that will challenge your perspective on music, worship, and the true calling of prison ministry.***CHAPTERS***(0:00) Intro (0:58) Who is Wayburn Dean?
