• Eliot Sloan — Lead Singer of Blessid Union Of Souls

  Blessid Union of Souls has clocked in a number one smash, a trio of top tens, five top 20 tunes and seven to hit the top 40, including the iconic ballad I Believe, the quirky and colourful Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me), the acoustically framed Light In Your Eyes, plus romantic favourites like I Wanna Be There and Let Me Be the One. Add in the gold selling landmark debut disc Home, being featured on the gold selling Carole King tribute album Tapestry Revisited (Rod Stewart, Faith Hill, Amy Grant, The Bee Gees) and the double platinum soundtrack for Pokemon: The First Movie, in addition to appearances on Contact (starring Jodie Foster), Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Cold Case, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Live with Regis (no less than four times), Good Morning, America, Top of the Pops, All My Children and VH1, and it’s no surprise that Blessid Union of Souls fingerprints have literally encountered every facet of pop culture. Lead singer, Eliot Sloan remains incredibly balanced for someone who’s shared the stage with superstar acts like Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls and Mike & the Mechanics, but the attitude stems from a lifelong Christian faith that’s repeatedly made its way into his songwriting. And when he speaks of hitting the studio and road these days, it’s all revolving around the brand new CD The Mission Field, which takes a spiritually overt direction while retaining the signature qualities that have literally attracted millions of fans over the years.

• Eric Metaxas — Author of BONHOEFFER: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy - A Righteous Gentile vs. the Third Reich

  As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author known as much for such spiritual classics as The Cost of Discipleship and Life Together as for his 1945 execution in a concentration camp for his part in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. In BONHOEFFER, the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in forty years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life, the theologian and the spy, and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. In a deeply moving narrative, Metaxas uses previously unavailable documents including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts to reveal dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen.

  This week on The Counsel of Many: a lady was hit on by her best friend's husband, who is also the youth pastor at her church, and wants to know how to handle it. Should she tell on him or just ignore the whole thing and pretend it never happened?
  
  "I recently received a very surprising and upsetting call. I was basically propositioned by my best friend's husband. It wasn't overt though. It's the start of something. At first he called about a trip that the youth at my church would be taking in June. He is our youth pastor and he called to ask me if I was going. Then he started to talk about how he'd had a dream about me last night and had been thinking about me all day. I wore a button on my birthday to church that said, "Kiss me, it's my birthday." He mentioned that and said that he had wanted to. I remember now that we talked that day and he said that he probably shouldn't but he gave me a hug instead. I didn't think anything about it at the time because we're friends and have always hugged. Well, the other day on the phone he said that he'd like to spend more time with me and he said that I was a beautiful woman and all. I was playing along, because at the time, I was caught off guard by it all and then I didn't want to tip him off that I could go tell someone. But I know I have to. I don't want him to know that I told anyone and got in him in trouble. It's not the trouble I'm worried about. He should be in trouble. I just don't want him knowing that I'm the reason he was found out. I'm so upset. I feel like throwing up. I have to see this guy on Saturday and pretend like everything is fine. So should I tell someone at the church what he did or just forget the whole thing happened? Why does this crap always happen to me? Why do I attract the freaks and the losers? I can't and will not have an affair with my best friend's husband. I love his wife and his two daughters. I don't know what to do. I am so angry. Angry that he thinks that sleeping around with me is all I'm good for. Like I'm not good enough for anyone to marry? Please help! I really need to know how to handle this."

  The beginning and the end of the show is like any good sandwich. The stuff in the middle is what it's all about - The rest is just crust! Sometimes it's worth listening to. Sometimes - not so much.
