Ep. 9 - Remember Jesus

In this episode, Randall Goodgame reflects on “Remember Jesus,” the final track from the Sunday Songs album—a song that almost didn’t make the record. What began as a simple desire to write about discipleship became something deeper: a reflection on the central role of "remembering" in the Christian life.

Ep. 7 - Believe, Follow, Believe

In this episode, Randall Goodgame is joined by special guest Becca Jordan, whose voice appears on multiple tracks across the new Sunday Songs record, including "Believe, Follow, Believe."  Becca and Randall explore the musical form of the round with its circular repetition and discuss how it mirrors the journey of faith itself: a daily, cyclical choice to trust, to walk, to repent, and to begin again.  Becca shares about the seasons of her own faith, including moments of clarity, doubt, and rediscovery. Together, they talk about the freedom of becoming a beginner again, and how relearning what it means to follow Jesus can be an integral part of faith.

Ep. 6 - Jesus Loves Me

A punk-rock version of "Jesus Loves Me?" Yes, please! In this episode, Randall Goodgame sits down with renowned drummer Dan Needham, whose playing can be heard across Sunday Songs and many beloved Slugs & Bugs albums. Dan shares how he helped reimagine "Jesus Loves Me" as a punk-rock anthem through intentional drum selection, tuning, and style. Randall and Dan also reflect on the importance of creativity, authenticity, and craftsmanship in children's music—using diverse styles and instrumentation to educate young listeners and invite them into a richer musical world.
