This week we sat down with theologian and liturgical composer Tony Alonso to discuss his new project, “Caminemos con Jesús”. “Caminemos con Jesús” is a collection of liturgical music that honors the Cuban musical heritage not often seen in its own right, liturgically. In this episode you’ll learn the inspiration behind “Caminemos con Jesús”, as well as the people, effort and heart from so many to make this project authentic, vibrant and full of the Spirit.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Maria Nieva, chair of the Asian Pacific Musicians Interest Section. I must share that I’ve always admired the sense of community in the Asian Pacific Musicians Interest Section. They are always so active at the National Conventions, attending events together and even eating meals together! It was a pleasure to hear from Maria about her interest section and what we can take away from their community, their culture and their musical heritage.

This month we’re celebrating the shortest month of the year- even with Leap Year- by having shorter, bite-sized episodes focusing on different topics. This week we’re easing into the month’s topics by digging into our Ministry Monday archives. Back in the fall when I took over the podcast, I had the chance to interview former Ministry Monday host Matt Reichert.
