Labels vs. independent. Playing shows vs. leading worship. Compromise vs. collaboration. These are just a few of the topics we cover on this amazing podcast with Josh McCabe of the band Caves. We talked for nearly an hour about what it means to be doing music full-time, which is interesting because doing that was something Josh himself said he would never do. But the heart of this conversation is all about following God’s path and owning the ministry he has asked you to lead.

“I always said I would never do music full time and here I am doing music full time. I always said I would never do that. And, again, I thought my best days were behind me. I thought this was a little record I released for a few friends and it’s gone beyond that. And, in fact, it was my wife in many ways that convinced me to put the album online in the first place, which, again, I was just going to keep private. And, you know, the Lord had other plans for sure.”
