2024 was an amazing year at CJN, and we're taking some time to reflect on our annual wrap-up. We discuss our top moments from the year, favorite and least favorite records, and issue a formal apology to one of the members of DC Talk. We continue our yearly tradition of bop/flop revisions, and Drawing Black Lines is desperately looking for redemption. Thanks for an amazing year, and we're looking forward to what 2025 has in store!

The winter solstice is almost upon us, and things have gotten cold, meteorologically and metaphorically. We’re continuing our journey through Jon Foreman’s Seasons EPs with Winter. The season is quite stark at times, but Jon might have hidden the lynchpin to this entire project deep in the snow for us to uncover.

This is our second Jammers Only episode. If you listen on the main feed, you’ll hear our Part A discussion, but the track-by-track breakdown is only available on Patreon. You can access this and other Jammers Only episodes for only $3/month on Patreon!

So look at us now. It’s finally Christmas and we’re covering Let It Snow Baby… Let It Reindeer by Relient K. We bruised our hands decking the halls last year, and now we’re discussing Relient K’s sprawling 2007 Christmas record. We’re not sure whether to call this a reissue or a compilation, but we won’t let that technicality keep us In Like A Lion. From all of us here at Church Jams Now, Merry Christmas, here’s to many more!

We’re back with another episode of Dial M For Martin covering the new Starflyer 59 record, Lust For Gold. Jason has returned to his long-awaited monochromatic sound on his seventeenth LP, despite feeling like his lust for gold has gotten him nowhere. We’ll be the judge of that.
