Season 1: Episode 16...In this episode of Downright Mindful, Paul takes Matt on a journey through history using the power of music. He explores how legendary artists—Bruce Springsteen (Born in the USA), Billy Joel (We Didn’t Start the Fire), Bob Marley (Buffalo Soldier), and Billie Holiday (Strange Fruit)—each, at the height of their influence, chose to use their voice to tell someone else’s story.
From there, Paul and Matt dive into the nuances of language, playing with the words just and yet to explore their deeper meanings. The conversation then shifts to words that begin with re and their connection to the gospel—restoration, renewal, reconcile.
It’s an episode about perspective, power, and the way words and music shape the way we understand history, justice, and faith.
