\"\"<\/a>I have a confession to make, a secret to make a Catholic blush. It\u2019s not about what I watch or say or do, it\u2019s about what I listen to. Sometimes!<\/em> Just sometimes!<\/em> When I\u2019m out walking and I have Pandora Radio on my iPhone and have my ear buds plugged in, I listen to a wide variety of music. I have a station called Stile Antico Radio (mostly 16th-century polyphony, very Catholic<\/a>). I have another called Folky Stuff (self-explanatory) and another named for my favorite guitarist, Knopfler Radio. So I listen according to mood. My dark secret?
\n<\/a>
\nI also have a station called David Crowder Radio. For those unfamiliar with the man (pictured here), he\u2019s an evangelical Jesus Rocker. OK, there it is, my secret\u2019s out: I really dig loud, soaring Christian Rock. Now, don\u2019t all jump ship at once.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Monday, so open your hearts and let me give you a taste, but beware: It\u2019s habit-forming and pretty soon you\u2019ll be using valuable confession time telling the priest about the sinful joys of Hillsong United, Darlene Zschech, and Third Day.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s kick off this MFM segment with a quiet start from Casting Crowns and \u201cPraise You in This Storm.\u201d<\/p>\n
