I'm really excited to share this episode with you for two reasons:

This episode has been 2 years in the making. You think I'm joking, but it's true. I messaged Brian around 2 years ago, we agreed to do this, and it's taken this long for me to get it done! My fault, not his! 😬
Brian Beihl (yes, it's a German last name) plays drums for Big Daddy Weave and in this episode we chat about drums, playing through pain, and daily disciplines that help him stay grounded even when he's out on tour.

In Episode 024 we chat with Jonathan Camey, who currently is on staff at Lakewood Church as their main drummer. He's also got a twin brother in the band, Joel, and things get serious in this episode as we explore themes of tragedy and triumph. It's a good one, so grab a cup of coffee or put on your seatbelt (if you're commuting) and get ready for a good one!
