The Lampstand Chronicles is about the pivotal stories from the future trailblazers from the Christian creative space - singers, writers, leaders and many more digital media artists. Each episode takes a look back at the stories that changed the course of each guests destiny. Because sometimes we look at where people are currently at and don't know the journey that God has taken them on. The stories of each guest are meant to encourage us and help us all realize that in this journey called life, we don't have to walk it alone.

Season One: That's a Wrap!
On today's episode, I'm going solo and looking back at season one of The Lampstand Chronicles, into some of the things I learned and answering some of the most asked questions from the season so far. It's been an amazing journey so far, and it definitely isn't the end! Thank you to Tep, VYLW, SSTEDI, STILL, Lydia Bricker, Dion Davis, Oyin, KEO, and Charlene Nash for being apart of the vision and joining me on each episode. I can honestly say I learned something from each of you and that's more than what I could've asked for. Thank you to each and every listener, you made what started as a somewhat scary venture so so so much fun, and I can't wait for you all to see what I have in store for season two!

EP 009 - Charlene Nash
On today's episode, I crossed another name off my bucket list and chatted with Charlene Nash - a singer and songwriter out of Ontario, again shout out to all of my fellow Canadian creatives. I've been a fan of Charlene's music since 2017 and there's levels to her music and to her game!

EP 008 - KEO
On today's episode, I chatted with KEO - a singer, songwriter and producer out of Ontario, shout out to all of my fellow Canadian creatives. I came across KEO's music on a Discord server for Christian creatives and the night that I discovered his music all I could do was have his EP "Glory to God" on repeat. After about the sixth time I reached out to him on Instagram and asked if he'd like to be on the podcast and the rest as they say is history! We talked about his early music memories, including learning to play many different instruments that I still can't name, his creative process, and making the transition from secular to Christian music.

The Short Chronicles - Wow! Look at God!
Welcome to the first edition of The Short Chronicles, these episodes delve a little deeper into some of the themes and topics from some of the conversations that I've been having, as well as things that I've found interesting and thought-provoking.
2020 will forever go down as an interesting year, with a lot of firsts for many people. But for me, 2020 so far has been the year that I'm calling the "Wow, Look at God" year. God truly has surprised me in many different ways, and after taking time to reflect on all that has happened I can't help but say WOW!
I hope this episode encourages you to take time to think about what God has done, and don't discredit the small things! As in this season the gift of life is such a blessing!
keep shining bright! (Rocky)

EP 007 - Oyin, Refuge London
On today's episode, I chatted with Oyin - an entrepreneur and former DJ, out of the UK.

We talked about what it was like starting a clothing company from scratch and the meaning behind some of the designs, what it means to have an impact with our calling, some real talk about dealing with recurring sin and addiction, and cultivating our own relationship with God.
