How can music help us understand the depths of Advent this year? And how can a poor, blind blues singer from Philadelphia lead us to the good news of Jesus this year?
Brilliant, Chris! Blues songs seem so clearly connected to Psalms of Lament (like Ps. 88, for example: "darkness is my closest friend."). And it is when we are in these desperate straits, that God gives us light that cuts through our darkness. Thanks for introducing me to Fleming Rutledge and Connie Williams! Can't wait for the next musician you feature...

Thank you, Mike! Such a great connection to the Psalms of lament...definitely the blues. Yes, a few more to come :)
