Episode 38: Jesus Is the Rock That Rolls My Blues Away

Christianity has had a complicated relationship with rock and roll music. For some, this style is the "devil's music," arguing that even Christian rock music is evil.

They are joined by Randall Stephens, author of The Devil’s Music: How Christians Inspired, Condemned, and Embraced Rock ’n’ Roll. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
