Exploring Theology, Doctrine, and all of the Fascinating Subjects in Between, Broadcasting from an

00:07

Undisclosed Location, Dead Men Walking starts now. Well, hello, everyone.

00:19

Welcome back to another episode of Dead Men Walking. We are glad to have you along. My name is Greg Moore, and to my left

00:26

I have… Jason Hamlin. Jason Hamlin. Thanks for having me, Greg. Oh, thanks for being here. You're here every time, though.

00:33

I stopped inviting you six months ago, and you still show up on Sunday nights. I just kept showing up. Hey, thanks for the microphone, bro.

00:39

So anyway, thanks. Back to the show. Yeah, you can't take it home with you. Leave it here, all right? Gosh, you musicians, always walking off with people's mics and cords.

00:48

Hey, man, I need equipment. I need some equipment. And you're a bass and guitar player, so you guys aren't trustworthy like us keyboard players.

00:54

Man, you know what? I would never say that, but… So how are you doing, brother?

01:00

Man, doing awesome. We are coming up on Christmas.

01:05

I don't know when this is going to come out, but we can say… I say Christmas because I think we'll push it out before then.

01:12

Because the guests we have on the line right now, and usually we do a little more talking back and forth, and Christmas season is upon us, but we have someone on the line right now that I wanted to get on the show with.

01:23

We actually saw him down at the Fight Left Feast conference in Nashville in October. He is just a phenomenal musician.

01:32

He's a brother in the Lord. I did want to, before we introduce him, I want to give you a little bit of this song that he did called

01:40

Fade to Black because it features… It's really cool. It's good. It's cool. It's happening.

01:46

I'm hip. I'm cool. Is that what the kids are saying? Hip, cool, okay. Something like that.

01:53

But the part that I selected too has a little bit of some Doug Wilson preaching. We're Doug Wilson fans. We like Dougie Boy, right?

01:59

Man, we had him on. Dougie Fresh. We had him on down there. Yeah, we had him on. Can you believe that he actually came on our show?

02:06

I should have looked at Doug and said, did we just become best friends? He would have probably not said anything. He would have just stared at you.

02:13

Right. So listen to a little bit of this Fade to Black, and then we're going to get to our guest. Oh, I love it, man.

02:55

Between the preaching and that sick beat and that great vocal. So he is an American Idol finalist.

03:01

He's married to Gabby. I think he's just married this last year. They're expecting a new one next month. Very nice. His world's about to change.

03:08

I've got three. You've got a, what, six -month -old. I've got two. And he's had a new one.

03:14

And she's a very accomplished musician, too. We might get into that. Yeah, you never know. I mean, Country Music Artist of the Year, you know, song popular, all these awards, stuff like this.

03:23

Obviously teamed up with Doug Wilson for that song. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Cade Fainter on the line today.

03:29

How are you, sir? Doing good. How are y 'all? Great, man. We're doing all right.

03:36

Brother, thanks so much for taking some time calling in and talking to us. So why don't you give our listeners, you know,

03:42

I gave a short bio, but why don't you give us a little condensed version of who you are, how you came to the Lord, what you're doing now in music, and, you know, bring us up to speed.

03:54

Sure. Yeah, thank you all for having me on. I sure appreciate you, you know, wanting to hear me spew out some stuff on your show.

04:01

Hopefully I don't take it too bad. No. But yeah, I'm from East Texas. Grew up, you know, the typical kind of going to church nominally sort of thing that's so common in the

04:14

South, and I had no reference point for Reformed theology. The only thing

04:20

I had was in history class in my high school—because I went to public school, that's my excuse for everything—I went to public school, and the only thing they told me about Martin Luther and John Calvin is they believed in this crazy thing called predestination.

04:34

It's, like, so wrong. So that's all I had. No! But, so, yeah, that's all that we came from in our beliefs.

04:53

I thought that it all just with, you know, America. And I got into college, and I became just extremely curious about what does the

05:06

Bible say. Not that I didn't have faithful preaching growing up. I had a very good pastor.

05:12

He did the best he could with what he had, because he didn't, again, have that historical reference that is so rich in Reformed theology, right?

05:23

We have so many reference points of, like, why don't we teach the way we teach? It's not in a vacuum sort of thing.

05:30

And he's still a good friend of mine, and I still go to church there when we're in Texas. But, so, it's not his fault is what

05:37

I'm saying. So, again, with just the whole typical—like,

05:46

I listened to Joe Loewenstein a lot, you know. Just that was our culture.

05:53

And around college, I decided, you know what? I'm going to read my Bible. I'm going to really dig in here and see what this is about.

06:00

Why do we believe what we believe? Why was I baptized when I was a young kid?

06:06

I don't remember why, but, you know, why all these things. And so, through just biblical study,

06:14

I got led to various teachers here and there and yonder, which led me to—I always call it the gateway drug,

06:22

John Piper. So, I got to him, and then that led me to John MacArthur and, you know,

06:33

Al Mohler and all these different people. And, you know, a few years into digging and digging and digging,

06:39

I found people like Doug Wilson, you know. It just took a lot of digging to get there.

06:44

There's so many people just covering them up, and I still haven't figured out why. But, so that's theologically kind of the journey there.

06:53

Just after a lot of Bible study and reform, which story -wise on the music side would be,

07:08

I started a band in high school and, you know, just was totally, totally into music, wanted to be the next

07:14

Black Crows and all this sort of stuff. You know, I was very into the 60s and 70s rock music, and that's how

07:21

I learned how to play guitar, was watching DVDs of these guys in concert and just trying to mimic their fingers and stuff.

07:29

And that's how I taught myself how to play. And one thing led to another. You know, there's not a big music scene where I grew up in East Texas.

07:37

It's very rural. I mean, we grew up on a farm. There's not much to play to but the cows and, you know, your granny.

07:47

So I decided to try out for a show. I tried out for American Idol in some, like, maybe 2015, and got rejected for that.

07:58

And then I tried out for The Voice and made it to the television part of that show and got rejected at that point.

08:04

And then I tried Idol one more time while I was going to school for biblical theology, like in 2017.

08:13

I was going online and wanted to give music one more shot before I just hung it up for good and went the preaching route.

08:21

And I made it through. And that was 2018. That was the year I made it to the top five.

08:31

I was either fourth, we always joke, I was either fourth or fifth. Two of us got eliminated at the same time.

08:36

And I like to pretend like I was fourth, but I wasn't as good as the other guy.

08:43

So I was either fourth or fifth. And my lovely wife, she was third place.

08:50

So I feel like fourth was mine because that's right behind her, you know. So that's where, yeah, that's where I met her as well.

08:59

We met on the television show, which is not the, not the, that's the exception to the rule. Don't meet your wife on a television show unless, you know, it's just, just meant to be.

09:12

But, but the Lord, you know, yeah, we met and, you know, just really, I don't know, fell in love.

09:17

And we just got the coolest story because we've got to tour, you know,

09:23

America together in the past. I mean, just, just the two years of knowing each other, we've traveled the whole

09:29

United States together, you know, playing shows and doing all sorts of stuff. And so after, yeah, after the show, we got hitched, you know, because that's what we were foreign folks do.

09:38

We get married and, and, and we were having a baby. Oh, that's awesome.

09:45

Next month, right? Yeah. So you're, yeah, your life is about to change, brother, but it's going to change for the good.

09:53

Yeah, well, you're going to. Yeah, I'm excited. Sleepless nights and, you know, it'll be all right though.

09:59

It's worth it. Hey, I was up last night with Emsley and she's 10 months old. And, you know, she, she was, she's been waking up from about one to about three 30.

10:09

So I was on daddy duty from about one to three 30 last night, trying to get her to go back to bed.

10:14

I'll tell you what, when they're younger, that, that age can be a little bit, a little tiresome, but I'll tell you what.

10:21

It's all right, man. When you sit down. I smile, I laugh and I love it. My nine -year -old, we just had a, we had a discussion about natural rights versus legal rights and, and the culture of victimhood.

10:30

And man, daddy couldn't have been prouder. I just went, man, these kids are so cool. There you go, man. Especially when you're homeschooled like we do.

10:37

They don't get any of that garbage, man. They're, they're hearing, they're hearing Tuttle twins and classical conversations in the

10:44

Bible, baby. Well, I was, I was talking to her about all the doctrines of faith. So it's all good.

10:50

Now I do slip in some Johnny Cash in the, in the music section. They do know a few

10:56

ACDC songs and some Led Zeppelin songs. We talk about what those songs are about. But you wanna know what, I ain't got a decent blues riff though.

11:03

I mean, Thunderstruck, you know, I mean, it's all right. You know? Yeah. So I was listening to some of your music, brother, and I messaged you and said, how did our paths not cross?

11:12

This just goes to show how old and out of touch I am, man. I'll tell you what, I don't know what the heck's going on. You hit 39, brother, and you don't know what's going on in the scene.

11:21

You're doing kids stuff, family stuff, business stuff. And I watched some of your videos on YouTube.

11:27

I listened to your stuff on iTunes. I went, oh my gosh, I love the vibe, the sound, just the raw, rawness of the sound.

11:34

And then, you know, what a bonus to know that he's a brother in the Lord. And then double bonus when you find out, oh yeah, there's a guy we saw down at 5 -11.

11:44

I know, right? He's a Doug Wilson guy. He's a reformed guy. Yeah, yeah. He really knows the Bible. He's a reformed guy.

11:50

He's reformed. He must be a good guy. Right. But I did want to ask you this question for the listeners because Jason's a musician.

11:58

I'm a musician. He was an internationally touring musician, I mean, for years all over the world and did really well at that.

12:04

Me, not so much. But how was it when you're balancing, I mean, the profession of professional music?

12:13

I mean, it is so just entrenched, just like actors or Hollywood or anything else. It's so entrenched in a secular culture.

12:20

What's that challenge there for you as a brother in the Lord who's reformed and going, you know, I'm going to be in a part of the world that's just so almost anti -God.

12:29

What were those challenges for you? And did you see any challenges? Yeah, no, it's always challenging.

12:37

It just depends on what has helped me and Gabby so much is what's the point?

12:44

What are you getting at with this music? Do you do it as an end unto itself or are you a

12:52

Christian? What's the trajectory? What are you going after?

12:58

And so that helps a lot. That helps all the speed bumps, all the things we did, some of the things that we turned down, some of the appearances on big stuff.

13:08

But it's got too much of that bent to it that we just can't in good conscience go to it.

13:15

That's where we were told to count it as joy, count it as joy that you're valid for his name.

13:21

I mean, we have our of course, we have our Twitter, our Twitter people who who heckle us all the time, which is always fun because they're all a bunch of weenies.

13:34

You know, I don't know. I find it. Yeah, I find it.

13:39

It could be difficult and you could be so up if you want to, or you could have fun and realize that, you know, the

13:49

Lord is going to give what he wants. He's going to take away what he wants. And I do remember speaking to that Wilson.

13:55

I remember something he said. I don't know where it was, but he talked about if he was going to be president of the

14:03

United States or something like that tomorrow. They should be surprised at the way he does what he does.

14:13

Like if he says something, if he does something, no one should be surprised about whatever he says, because he's been consistent up to that point.

14:20

Yeah, he has. He's not changed. It's not that you're not trying to pull a slick one on on the culture or your fans to where, you know, you don't talk about the gospel.

14:30

You don't talk about the sins of the culture. You don't, you know, you stray away from those things.

14:37

Of course, you'd want to be winsome. Don't get me wrong. You don't want to just bust in there with all of it at the same time. Be winsome and all those things, of course.

14:43

But you don't back down from those things either. You walk that straight line that you're supposed to.

14:51

So Doug Wilson was talking about that. There should be no surprise no matter where they put me.

14:58

You know what I mean? There should be no surprise about what we're doing either as musicians to someone.

15:03

We should be so open, so open -handed, I think, that there should, again, be no surprises about the whole thing.

15:12

Yeah, for sure. When I was touring and traveling, it was the people that were around me, you know, that really mattered.

15:21

We tried to build a team. You know, that was what we were trying to do was try to build a team of people that had the same goal in mind.

15:28

The team that we built ended up being the first woke team, probably.

15:37

We probably ended up with more woke Christianity on our team than we realized.

15:43

Oh, no. And that's where the fence showed up, which the devil owns. The devil owns the fence.

15:49

I mean, we were playing that. At first, when we were going out there, it was like, man, we want to share the gospel.

15:57

We want to write some tunes that are more inclusive than exclusive, you know, using these verbiages.

16:07

It was like, man, that was a tunnel that we went down that really ruined our career,

16:16

I feel, because we stepped away from what we were called to do.

16:23

And we were called to glorify God in all these different venues. I mean, we were playing secular venues all over the country.

16:32

Japan, Europe. I mean, we played all over. He's like the David Hasselhoff of Germany, of Japan.

16:40

Yes, I am. And I used to wear a button -down shirt, showed off my chest hair.

16:45

Yeah, but it was the team around us, you know.

16:53

Oh, I hear you. Yeah, and now, to put the other side with it, of course, when

17:00

I first got to Los Angeles, the first time I'd ever been out there with a battle and everything, it was certainly a shock.

17:10

I mean, there was a transgender, there was a lesbian, there was a guy who challenged me on, do you believe the

17:22

Bible? Like, one of my first days that I was there, you know. And you have to understand what a shift this was from where I was from.

17:30

I was from a place where everyone was assumed to be safe. Everyone believed that. God's country.

17:37

You're in Texas, man. Right. At worst, you're going to be annoying. You know what

17:42

I'm talking about. Yeah. And so, when I got there, that was tough, in a way, because I'd never been challenged in a real way.

17:55

You know, I never really had a conversation with a Buddhist or someone who thought witchcraft was cool. Right.

18:00

Yeah. And so, but that really, I don't know, it could have gone one or two ways.

18:07

I could have, you know, fallen off into all that inclusive crap.

18:12

Or, you know what I mean? But what it actually did was strengthen what was there and strengthen my resolve that the gospel is true.

18:22

You do need to repent. Yeah. You are wrong. Yeah. That God says. Yeah. And so, yeah.

18:29

And that's been, yeah, through good teachers as well, though. Good books, good teachers, and of course, you know, the

18:34

Bible being our reference. That did, too, that strengthened. Of course,

18:42

I was reformed then, but not, you know, I don't know. We're always reforming, right? That's one of our phrases. Right.

18:48

But, you know, I had that intellectual understanding of, okay, we believe the inerrancy of scripture, the sufficiency, and the authority, and all of those wonderful things.

18:59

But, you know what I mean? You need to get in those situations to where it's really tempting to be the cool guy and continue with the crowd.

19:11

That's where boys are separated from men, right? Where we strengthen our resolve and say, yes, this is true.

19:17

I will stay with the Bible on these things. Yeah. Here we go. Go ahead.

19:24

Oh, no, no. I was just going to ask, is it easier in the country music arena than in another?

19:34

You know what I mean? Well, he's got a little bit of hillbilly rock in there, too, though. I don't know. Yeah, for sure.

19:39

Do you classify yourself as country strictly? I mean, you got a little rock in there.

19:45

And when I say hillbilly, I'm not saying, you know, hillbilly derogatory, like hillbilly rock.

19:50

Well, we're talking about the country music. Oh, okay. Like the industry. Yeah, industry. Sorry, you know me.

19:55

I wasn't paying attention on my own podcast. Yeah. I know. Yeah, to answer the easier one first,

20:02

I don't know. I do country stuff. I started doing rock, and then

20:09

I really more kind of settled into the country area. Just also because my wife, she plays country music, so it's just a little more natural now.

20:18

But to the other question, so yeah, country music is easier in a way, but it's also in that Nashville in general, it's in that weird stage where, again, you have these songs about Jesus, but it's all about Jesus is not going to judge me stuff.

20:42

It's in that weird spot. You have a beer with Jesus, yeah. Yeah, right. He's your buddy.

20:49

Yeah, and so it's in that weird spot. But there's still—I just got through reading

20:55

Francis Schaeffer's How Should We Then Live, or however it's worded, and he talks about in there that there's only so long you can live off the moral capital of Christendom, Christianity, and the morals from—how we got to Western civilization today is because of Christianity.

21:19

But there's only so long you can live off of that. And I think the key evidence is in there that he traces through the arts and the music of certain time periods, the

21:29

Enlightenment, Reformation, and all of those time periods, and it does show where the culture is headed.

21:36

It always reflects that sort of stuff. And so in the pop world, you have where country music is headed, right?

21:43

Yeah. They're off the cliff. They've already driven off the cliff. Me and my wife watched the

21:48

Grammys whenever that was. You made it through them? And I mean, it was atrocious. I know. No, I mean, we didn't make it through them.

21:55

It's true. No, we didn't. Yeah, it was atrocious and disgusting.

22:03

I mean, now I know why we don't watch television. You know what I mean? If you turn it on, it's just shocking how far a culture can go in five years.

22:10

But so that's off the cliff because, I mean, you could symbolize that the pop world is kind of the liberal left,

22:19

I think you could say. Sure. I think that's a proper hold. And so let's say the right being country music, like a lot of the right listens to country music.

22:30

We're lagging behind, but we're still heading in the same direction. Yeah, yeah. We're embracing 10 years ago's popular ideas.

22:43

We're just late to the game. And so that would be the long way of how

22:48

I would characterize country music today. Yeah. It's still remnants of those things that we love, but it's steadily going the wrong way.

23:00

Right. I mean, I don't know if you're about to say something. I'm sorry if I cut you off.

23:06

Go ahead. I feel like that's Christianity in a nutshell right there. Right now, we are running into, you know, the world looks at us.

23:14

I mean, you know, and they're saying, well, you're not doing anything different than I am. Right.

23:20

I mean, they're saying, okay, well, how do you separate yourself? You know, because I see you at the same places.

23:26

We have the same drink. We have, you know, whatever, whatever, whatever. We do have the same social stuff.

23:33

Yeah, yeah. So how are we separated and why would I want to join your daddy in the sky, you know, situation?

23:42

You know, it's like that's what people are seeing. And, man, I don't know if there's just going to be a huge reformation happening across the states or what.

23:54

But, man, so many more people are waking up to this and just saying, yeah, I am not, you know,

24:00

I'm not living the way that I need to. And there actually is something. When you say you're a Christian, it's not just, hey,

24:06

I just punched my card. I'm headed to heaven, you know, and I could do whatever I want now. You know, it's an actual life, you know, live for Christ, you know.

24:15

Yeah, that's kind of a good segue, if you don't mind, because I wanted to talk to you about just that.

24:21

So you have so many artists that call themselves Christians and I'm a Christian artist or I'm an artist that is a

24:27

Christian, but their life maybe doesn't really reflect it to where, then I get into, you know, looking up Cade videos and about five, six down after all the

24:35

American Idol ones, I see, oh, my gosh, this guy's preaching straight theology on some of these

24:40

YouTube clips. What's going on there? So is that something you're doing kind of on the side?

24:45

Are you doing for fun? Are you going to pursue that? I mean, obviously you said you're going to school and all that, MacArthur School.

24:52

Is that something you want to get into, like preaching or, you know, scholarship? Or are you just doing the YouTube stuff just to kind of say, hey,

24:59

I've got something here to say and use my platform to say it? Yeah, I've always been, since I was about probably in sixth, seventh grade,

25:10

I've wanted to be a preacher. That was kind of what I wanted to do, I think, before I wanted to do anything was

25:16

I went to my pastor and said, I want to preach. And then he said to me, he said, OK, I want you to preach next week.

25:22

And so that scared me away from it for about two years. So I didn't pursue it at all. But I've never been able to get away from the

25:31

Bible. Like, that was a thrill for me. And so I don't know.

25:38

It is something that I definitely want to do. And that's why I'm going to school for it, to answer that question. That's why I'm headed to school for it.

25:45

I hope one day the Lord allows me, of course, to pass through a church. But if that didn't happen,

25:50

I really hope that he'd open up avenues for me to go and preach, because I do love to preach.

25:56

And I have preached several different churches just randomly when I've been off and had time to do it back home.

26:03

And so, I mean, it's something I'd love to do. I mean, that's my, honest to goodness, that's my passion.

26:09

And my wife gets it all day long, every day. You know what I mean? She gets my, you know, it's like you're sitting at home.

26:16

You want somebody to preach to. You're like, honey, sit down, listen. Listen to this. Why do you think we started this podcast?

26:23

Our wife kicked us both out and was like, why don't you two go talk about it out in the studio? We're tired of hearing you preach all day to us.

26:30

It's true. It's true. I know. That's so true. Yeah, that's so awesome, though, man.

26:35

Just like I said, to see someone who is doctrinally and theologically grounded and also in that world.

26:41

I tell you what, man, you put a church together, though, you're going to be hell on the auditions for the worship leaders.

26:47

Yeah, yeah, man. I'll tell you what, you're going to be like, well, I don't know. That's not

26:52

American Idol 2018's standard there. Turn into Simon Cowell.

26:57

I'm very, I'm sorry? I said turn into Simon Cowell a little bit or something. Oh, yeah, yeah.

27:04

When he's auditioning. Yeah, auditioning. Actually, my preference for church stuff, though, you're right,

27:14

I'd be hard on them. I mean, I wouldn't want a whole band, you know what I mean? Yeah. That's the thing about Report the

27:19

Elder. That's when I grew up again in Southern culture. I don't know, you got rid of the hymns and you were doing all the touchy -feely songs.

27:32

And then as I got older, you know, hearing hymns and doing all that, you know,

27:38

I don't I don't ever listen to anything other than, you know, if it's worship music, I'm listening to hymns and songs.

27:45

I mean, that's because I don't know, especially as a performer. I don't want to see somebody perform.

27:51

Yeah. I'm not. I'm not coming here for that. You know what I mean? As such, I don't know.

27:57

It's just such a that's one of those things. I think that's, I don't know, gradually pulling the thread out of the church, if that makes sense.

28:05

It's one. Now, of course, not having instruments. I'm cool with that. I'm not one of those guys. But instruments are cool.

28:12

But I'm talking about this whole performance ideal. Yeah. Smoke machines. Of worship.

28:19

It's a smoke machine. No, I'm kind of in the same. And so, yeah. And I say that. Go ahead.

28:25

Oh, no, I'm kind of in the same place with you, man. I can sit down and listen to a secular song and totally enjoy the arrangement, the words, the chorus, the drums, the piano, everything in it, and appreciate it for what it is.

28:36

It's not something I dwell on or I'm going to listen to all the time. Like I mentioned, I'll sit down and listen to a Zeppelin song and just go, yeah, he's one of the top three bands in the world for me personally.

28:48

But when it comes to worship, because I'm a piano player and a drummer as well, when it comes to worship, man, it's all hymns, psalms.

28:53

I mean, I've got maybe three or four guys that I listen to, to where it's like it's an intimacy and worship, and I can really separate those two.

29:02

A lot of people can't. There's a quote by, I'm going to read this quote real quick. Tell me what you think of this. This is by a

29:08

General William Booth. Now, he was a flaming Pentecostal. Okay, guys, I will give you. No, I'm just kidding.

29:13

But I love this quote. I love this quote. He says, secular music, do you say belongs to the devil?

29:19

Does it? Well, if it did, I would plunder him for it, for he has no right to a single note of the whole seven.

29:25

Every note, every strand, and every harmony is divine and belongs to us. I don't know.

29:30

I kind of get fired up when I think about that, because I go, look at my music. I do it all under the glory of God.

29:36

And if the secular culture is going to try to steal and take the arts and music and all these things from us and pervert it for the flesh,

29:46

I say we take it back, man. I want to take it back because it's ours. Yeah. I have a thing for that, for the

29:53

Pentecostal part of the say we have in South that even a blind squirrel finds an anchor or two.

30:00

So that's probably true. Yeah, probably true. No, it's not probably true. It really is true.

30:05

That is very true. And I like what I heard. Gabe Branch. Yeah, he said something about, you know, yes, atheists and secularist humanists can make music, but it's always ugly.

30:19

It's always ugly music. It's never anything actually pretty. And again, I think the same rule applies as what

30:25

I just said. A blind squirrel finds an anchor or two and they can stumble on some pretty music and some pretty spectacular things.

30:33

But I do agree with you in principle that any beauty belongs to God, belongs from God, because James tells us that, right?

30:42

That every good perfect gift comes from him. So, yeah, I agree.

30:49

You know, the only part that lost me was when Greg said he listens to the keyboard. We have a running gag on here.

30:59

Keyboardists get no respect. Okay. They shouldn't. Oh, geez.

31:06

Come on. Oh, you might have cool hair like Kade, man. Look at that hair. I know, right? For those of you listening.

31:12

We had Stephen Bankars on. Man, he's got long hair, too. I'm just like, gosh,

31:18

I'm all balding. I showed my wife this. I said, oh, yeah, we got Kade coming on. And she goes, oh, dude, it's like Samson.

31:27

I said, but pre -Delilah. Yeah, right. His brother ain't going to fall. So as we wrap this up here a little bit, what do you got going on right now,

31:37

Kade? So what's new for you? What are your prospects? Are you touring? I know you got the little one coming next month, so you're probably going to go on a little break there.

31:44

But I mean, music, school, like what's happening with you so the listeners know where to find you and what's going on.

31:51

Sure. Yeah. We just, yeah, we wrapped up for everything because the baby's due next month.

31:57

And so the last thing we did was CMA Awards. We performed on there. And that's when we shut it down after that, because that was just last month.

32:06

And then we'll tour next summer, supposedly, because of the COVID thing and how all that goes.

32:14

But we're supposed to tour next summer. That's the goal. And we have that planned out, but we'll see if that actually plans out.

32:22

But other than that, you know, find me on YouTube and the Instagram and follow my wife because, you know.

32:31

Yeah, shout out her name real quick so people can find her too. Why not? Yeah. Yeah. So her stage name is

32:38

Gabby Barrett. But don't worry, everybody. She did change her last name to my name.

32:44

We were worried. I don't know why at all. I was wondering. But yeah, she has my last name.

32:53

Everybody chill out. Yeah, but you can find her stuff on iTunes, all the places out there that does music stuff.

33:03

But yes, Do String, mine and Doug Wilson's song Fade to Black. We just put it out. I put music out when

33:10

I feel like it. Now it's not pressure anymore because I play guitar with my wife. So that's what we do.

33:17

That's our main thing. But this song came out of a mini retirement because Doug's cool and he's a man's man.

33:26

Are you going to do a full length or EP or anything with that tune?

33:34

No, it was just a plan. We just started chatting after the conference and just wanted to do something that would be cool.

33:42

That song, I banked for a while. I wrote it two years ago or something.

33:48

It just had that Johnny Cash vibe. For sure. I feel like that he would fit well in it.

33:55

Yeah, man. It turned out good. Great tune. Proud of it. I've been sending it to everybody.

34:01

Yeah, man. There you go. Jason, you got any final thoughts for us? I think that, no.

34:09

I think this has been a great little interview. Yeah, well, listen, Cade.

34:14

We appreciate you taking time out of your day, especially with your family coming and stuff. We know we have family to do this.

34:22

It's important when you show up and you spend time with us. Listeners, make sure you check him out, like he said, on YouTube.

34:30

Even those videos you do, man. I really appreciate those, just speaking the word. I'm glad you're going to school.

34:35

I'm glad you have a heart to be a preacher because we need more men of God that understand what it means to be a shepherd.

34:41

We actually got an episode coming out on Ezekiel 34 next week where we talk about that, where sometimes it can be a little disappointing on how shepherds see themselves and their role when, in fact, it is to care for those sheep.

34:54

And, brother, just from your YouTube videos, your music and all that, I know your eventual church will be in good hands if the

35:02

Lord wants it. So, guys, thanks so much for listening. Check us out on YouTube, Parler, Instagram, Facebook, Dead Men Walking Podcast.

35:09

Same across the board. Very easy. Branding. See, it's branding. Branding. My half a semester of college paying off.

35:17

Nerd. But we thank you guys for listening. We always love feedback. We've been getting a lot of private messages,

35:24

DMs. Great hearing. We got listeners slipping into the DMs. That sounds scandalous. I shouldn't say it that way.

35:31

We love the feedback. Sometimes we even do subjects that you guys suggest. That's right. So feel free to interact.
