Rich Mullins, Abbey Road, and the Cave of the Heart: Tom Booth's Musical and Spiritual Odyssey
Manage episode 419502543 series 3550511
In this episode I sit down with dear friend and acclaimed musician Tom Booth to explore the profound impact that music has had on his life and faith journey. Tom shares with me his early exposure to music through his father's eclectic taste, ranging from Beethoven to the Beatles, and the transformative experience of writing his first song at the age of 14. He also opens up about a mystical encounter with God at 17 that forever changed his perspective on life and music, leading him to pursue a path of writing and singing songs of light, love, and hope.
Throughout our conversation, Tom reminisces about the influential artists and songs that have shaped his musical journey, including the profound impact of Rich Mullins, with whom he had the privilege of co-writing the song "Nothing Is Beyond You." He also shares intimate stories with me about recording at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and the power of music to bring comfort, healing, and spiritual growth. This episode is a real testament to the transformative power of music and its ability to connect us with the divine. I am honored to have Tom on the podcast and grateful for the powerful stories he shares about the impact of songs in his life.
