The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

The Surpassing Worth of Knowing Christ 43:52

9 days ago43:52

43:52

In Philippians 3:8, Paul reminds us that nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. He once prized his status and achievements, but now counts them as loss—even rubbish—compared to gaining Christ. True faith means treasuring Jesus above all else, even at great cost. Is Christ truly our greatest treasure? From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend. *Note from Pastor Phil: I accidentally gave the wrong verb tense of "counted" at min 19:16-19:31. The verb tense is "perfect" and not "future." The application and statements after that are correct for the "perfect tense," but I wanted to correct this mistake for any Greek students/scholars who were confused. It was an honest mistake of the wrong thing written in my notes that did not get caught until after I preached this during 2nd service and realized the error.…
