Show Notes

On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael concludes his conversation with composer, arranger, producer, singer, songwriter, and musician Rob Mathes. Rob is a Grammy-nominated, Tony-nominated artist who won an Emmy award for his musical direction of the Kennedy Center Honors.

In Part 2, a few of the topics Rob and Michael discuss include:

  • How Rob’s song, “Although It Is the Night” was inspired by St. John of The Cross’s poem “Dark Night of the Soul”.
  • Why great music mixes the sacred and the profane, “the gears grinding and the heavens singing.”
  • Understand why Rob feels it’s important to “poke holes” at aspects of Christianity that are seemingly crazy.

Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over.
