Catching Up With Nathan Clark George - New DVD in the Works!
Transparent: Nathan, you seem to be ‘living the dream.’ For the people that don’t know, describe your life, as you travel with your family and play music. NCG: Three years ago we decided to put all our things in storage, give up our apartment, buy a motorhome, and hit the road with our 5 children! It was a crazy time, to be sure, but we had no desire for my wife and children to be at home while I was on the road. We said many times that we would either do this together, or we would not try it at all. Since then I've played hundreds of concerts, and as a family we have seen amazing places and met so many wonderful people!

Christopher Ames is my favorite type of Christian. If you are a regular reader of Transparent Christian Magazine, you know that we interview people with real-world challenges, walking with Jesus and using their individual gifts to benefit others. Christopher is one of those people! Earlier this year, Singer/Songwriter Recording Artist Christopher Ames released a [...]

When we got in my mouth dropped as I looked at all the animals. I saw my favorite animal in the whole world and shouted excitedly "lets got see the penguins dad!" After feeding the penguins we went to see the other animals like the biggest alligator in the whole zoo. We got to see it get fed big juicy steaks.

Transparent: Man, that IS a crazy story. Mike: Well the story does go a little deeper. After we first started discussing this with the webmaster (Jerry) he put us on his Myspace friends page. Well, what I mean is that he put us on his top ten Myspace Friends. He has hundreds of "porn star" friends, who started sending us friend requests....so, after some debate, we accepted them. Then some amazing messages started arriving! I think we have a dozen or so messages from different porn actresses telling us how much a certain song or songs had ministered to or spoke to them.

Me: (Smiling) “Umm… I think you might be crazy. Sarah is our friend, married and I’m certainly not the kind of guy she’d be into anyway. Have you noticed that carloads of beautiful women haven’t been beating down our door lately to steal me away from you?!” (Snicker)

3. September 2008
If you grew up in the 90’s you don’t remember the days that you had to hide your girly magazines in the woods. (Talk about a weird take on the whole “walking up hill both ways when I was your age” commentary.) I was introduced to pornography in my early teens and have been haunted by it until sometime last year when I decided to rid it from my life forever.

So, here is my list, with all my bias, and selfishness. I have met 7 of these artists and some of them I would call friends or good friends. I have included a sentence or two as to why I like their music. Let me know what you think and who you're listening to these days! I’m sure these will change at some point, but these are my picks today!

The Lord is leading me to write music lately about topics that may challenge us to step out of our comfort zone for Christ, and for me to talk about things that may not be openly talked about in the church...

TCM: Wow. Talk to me about the process. Stephanie: Well, we went down to the library and got every travel book known to man. ‘Hiking books’, ‘things to do books’… it seemed at first we had 3 books for every state! We finally returned the books and just decided we were going to open up the map, and find the most backwoods way of getting wherever we were going!

She had just filed for an order of protection a few days prior, but on June 17th he showed up at the salon and shot her 5 times, including twice in the chest and once in the neck, then he turned the gun on himself and ended his own life.
