Christian Geeks Rockcast Steve Chalk, Britt Mooney

As a follow up to our interview with Ronny Cates in Ep 65, we break down Petra's first album with Ronny, 1988's On Fire! This album contiues the band's move into arena rock that began with "This Means War" and their production relationship with John and Dino Elefante. This era of Petra was their most commercially successful.

For this episode, we sat down with the former bassist for Petra, Ronny Cates. His first album with Petra was 1988's "On Fire!" and he continued with them until "No Doubt" in 1995. Ronny talks about his beginnings with the band, what it was like in studio with the Elefantes, and lots more. Fantastic conversation with a great guy.
