Show notes
This week we're joined by Lily Hooten of Housefires, the Atlanta worship collective, to talk about their new album House Church Vol. 001. She talks with Emily about how the record came together and where the collective is going from here.In RELEVANT Buzz, “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” singer Mike Posner is going public about finding faith, his baptism and laying out what he thinks being a Christian actually requires of him. We also get into a Gen Z trend that gives singleness a rebrand, plus the A-list artists selling mystery concert tickets for a low price to combat rising concert prices. In Slices, The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers says he's thinking about quitting music and points at his dad as the reason, and Cameron brings a story about maybe the real reason people are stealing those Flock surveillance cameras. Somewhere in there Jesse invents the meeting poncho, which he is convinced is a great idea. And Emily has a can’t-miss announcement at the end of the show.Editorial Question of the Week: What's a worship song lyric you can't unhear once you notice it? Drop your answer in the comments or @ us. We're reading them on next week's episode.Highlights:02:52 — Jesse's home alone and after 10 hours the house is already destroyed11:22 — The meeting shirt, and the case for a back flap16:07 — SkyMall is somehow still online18:19 — Sharper Image vs. Brookstone, peak capitalism22:27 — RELEVANT Buzz: Mike Posner gets baptized28:06 — Gen Z, dating apps and solo maxxing33:24 — Mystery concert tickets, with one catch36:15 — Lily Hooten of Housefires43:36 — Slices: Brandon Flowers on quitting music47:35 — Google's AI said Flock cameras are full of gold52:50 — Editorial Question of the Week53:43 — Emily has an announcementAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
