Episode 07: Never Would've Made It

Another episode of The Pieces Podcast is here to enjoy! On this podcast we hope to facilitate opportunities to convene and learn more about God through music lead devotionals. Let’s get excited to enjoy our love for music and Christ in one place. We apologize for any audio issues as Zoom acts funny sometimes - Oh the joys of technology.

Today we welcome a special guest, Ivan Bradley, Creator of EARSTYLE.NET! Ivan is a creator, writer, buyer extraordinaire providing insight on a blend of music, style, pop culture, and everything in between. The site’s original tagline was “Breaking New First” and there was one rule: NO GOSSIP. EARSTYLE.NET was created to celebrate GOOD art. The tagline eventually morphed into “C’est Bon.” which is French for “It’s Good”. Listen in as he shares his thoughts on finding inspiration in non-Gospel Music, exercising faith in the midst of struggle, and his ‘Just Do It’ mentality.

Learn more about Ivan on his blog’s website EARSTYLE.NET and follow him on social media @imkbrad (Instagram). Keep up with his latest playlist drops. The latest playlist featuring Patti Labelle and Gladys Knight will have you two stepping all day: Latest Versuz Playlist

On today’s podcast, we’ll get into what anchor scriptures are, our next dissected song, and step into the listening room!

Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it’ll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.

Romans 8:18 ESV “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

Today’s featured song: Never Would’ve Made It x Teyana Taylor

The Lyrics say,

You're the highlight of my life

You're the sunshine in my night

Oh how, oh how, oh, how do I

Ever repay you

Stand up, press forward, move on

Don't cry, we'll make it through the night

For sure

Never would have made it

Never would have made it without you

We’ll discuss how ‘Never Would’ve Made It’ by Marvin Sapp is the gift that keeps on giving, Ivan’s extensive list of listening room tracks, and how we can find a message from God in unlikely places. Tune into today’s episode for the full breakdown.
