    A Legacy of Making Music That Matters: Florence LaRue & Michael Ray

    When we look back on our lives, we all hope we can consider them well lived. But what signifies a life well lived? How much money we made or achieving great fame? Not according to our guests this week. Both have achieved fame and recognition for their musical talent, while recognizing God gave them the words and platform to spread His message of love. We’re talking with Florence LaRue, a singer with the iconic music group The Fifth Dimension, and country music artist Michael Ray.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Patti LaBelle Upcoming interview: Michelle Hord   Florence LaRue The Fifth Dimension Lamonte McLemore “Aquarius”  COVID Grace in Your Second Act: A Guide to Aging Gracefully   Michael Ray Warner Music Nashville Gatlin Brothers  Oak Ridge Boys  Garth Brooks “The Dance” Opry Porter Wagoner version of “Green Green Grass of Home” Ricky Skaggs “Real Men Love Jesus” www.michaelraymusic.com   Interview Quotes: “I had no intentions of becoming a singer at all.

    Aljamain Sterling, coach Ray Longo, and singer Michael Ray

    Hear from the UFC Bantamweight champion and his coach Ray Longo, along with country star Michael Ray, on today's episode of UFC Unfiltered! First, coach Ray Longo joins Jim and Matt ahead of Aljamain Sterling's rematch against Petr Yan in the co-main event of UFC 273 this Saturday. Before he relives the highlights of his acting career, Longo explains why he believes Aljamain has a better mentality heading into this weekend's fight and why he feels better prepared to corner Aljamain on Saturday night. Then, Aljamain Sterling himself calls into the show. He reveals what happened the day of his first fight with Petr Yan that impacted his performance, walks listeners through his wrestling-heavy game plan, and explains why he's still a fan of Will Smith after his altercation with Chris Rock at the Academy Awards. Aljamain also shares what it was like to discuss his life before entering the UFC on the latest episode of the UFC podcast Becoming a Fighter with Megan Olivi, out now. Country star Michael Ray closes the show. He opens up about singing karaoke with former UFC title challenger Dan Henderson, shares the crazy conversation he had with Bill Murray at the Chicago Cubs World Series after-party, and offers his take on which is scarier: singing on stage or fighting in an Octagon.
