We've been quarantined for over a month now, and host Taylor Berglund may finally be losing his mind. Taylor shares some of the music he's been listening to while he's stuck indoors, and then turns the floor over to Andrew Holt, worship pastor at the Belonging Co., whose new song "Holy (Song of the Ages)" is now available.

Pastor Michael Todd hasn't had the typical testimony or pastoral journey, but because of his radical obedience to God, this young pastor now has one of the fastest growing Pentecostal churches in the country. Mike talks to host Taylor Berglund about his entire story, plus how the nature of church is changing in an Internet era. (Plus, Taylor tells the epic saga of everything that almost stopped this podcast from getting created. You won't want to miss it!)

On today's episode, Cody Carnes tells host Taylor Berglund about what it was like when his new album, Run to the Father, debuted on the same day that President Donald Trump declared a national emergency over the global pandemic.

Taylor may be stuck working from home due to COVID-19, but he's not alone! Today he's joined over the phone line by a special guest, comedian Chonda Pierce.

You won't want to miss this!

Listen as Taylor talks to rapper and producer GAWVI about his new studio album, Heathen. In case you missed Taylor saying it roughly three million times this interview, he loves this album and has many, many questions about it. They talk about resisting the lies of the enemy, changing the Christian culture, the origin of the term "heathen," how famous Christians are expected to be perfect, writing the most vulnerable lyrics GAWVI has ever written, and how much they both love the term "nerd out."

In honor of Rachel's last episode of the podcast, Taylor and Rachel discuss their best practices and tips for maintaining healthy friendships even from far away. Plus, Taylor talks to Jeremy Camp about the new movie based on his life, I Still Believe.

It's Taylor's favorite episode and Rachel's least favorite! Today we're talking about personality types (in general) and the five love languages system specifically. What's your love language? Why does Rachel hate personality tests so much? And how many different spin-offs of love languages exist? Find out on this episode.

If you haven't heard there is the coronavirus going around causing us to social distance ourselves. Taylor and Rachel use humor and thought to talk about what you can do to keep in touch with others.

It's the most wonderful time of the year when we play the Hallmark Christmas Movie Challenge. But this year, Rachel shakes things up for Taylor and a special guest joins the show to save her favorite Hallmark Christmas movie. Then Taylor interviews 2019 Dove Award-nominated, Andrew Peterson, about his new album "Behold the Lamb of God" and Christmas tour.

Normally, the hosts of C-Pop are very anti-censorship, but every year, there's just a few Christmas songs that drive us up the wall. In today's episode, we take over our own fake Christmas radio station and decide which songs we would refuse to play on our station and why. And after he's doing ranting about bad music, Taylor gets a healthy dose of good music in his interview with acclaimed singer-songwriter Sara Groves.
