In this episode of Voices in My Head, I sit down with Ginny Owens to talk about her new EP Different Kind of Water, the creative journey behind her music, and the deeper spiritual questions woven throughout her songs. We explore themes of longing, letting go, faith conversations with those who believe differently, and how seasons of dryness can actually lead to meaningful creativity. Ginny also shares about life and ministry in New York City, the diverse musical influences shaping her work, and her upcoming book on courageous compassion and living out justice and mercy. It’s a rich, honest conversation about faith, artistry, and the courage it takes to keep seeking what truly satisfies.

Different Kind of Water is an intimate look into Ginny’s life, faith, and music. With songs that inspire and encourage, Different Kind of Water is sure to connect with listeners, no matter where they are on their journey.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a chapel service I recently recorded at Springfield Regional Medical Center, where I offer a reflection on the story of Job—especially focusing on his friends, who I believe deserve a little more grace than they often receive. Together, we explore what it means to sit with others in their suffering without trying to fix or explain it away, and I talk about the power of simple presence—what we in chaplaincy call the ministry of presence. Through scripture, song, and prayer, I invite you to consider where you might be called to listen more deeply, speak less quickly, and simply be with others in their pain.

In this brief, early-morning episode of Voices in My Head, I reflect on the controversy surrounding an AI-generated image depicting Donald Trump in a Christ-like role, and why, while it’s troubling, it may not be the biggest issue we should be concerned about. I talk about how easy it is to get caught up in outrage, especially within our media echo chambers, while missing the deeper call of Jesus to care for the hungry, the poor, and the vulnerable—people I encounter every day in my work as a hospital chaplain. Rather than taking a partisan stance, I offer a pastoral challenge to all of us, myself included: to examine whether our lives actually reflect the love and humility of Christ, and to make sure we’re not so focused on images and symbols that we miss where Jesus says he truly is—among those most in need.
