PODCAST GUEST
Patrick F. Jones
Podcaster, What The Heaven
Patrick has worn virtually every hat while working at local churches. He has also quit churches, multiple times, so that he can work in the “real world.” This is what he’s learned: being a pastor or missionary has nothing to do with where your paycheck comes from. You are a pastor. You are a missionary. You are a disciple.
Whether it’s playing music in an LA bar or teaching in Southeast Asia, the most important thing that a Christian can do in a post-Christian world is engage culture and get to know different kinds of people.
And we should be funny, too.
Stand! is the fourth album by soul/funk band Sly and the Family Stone, released on May 3, 1969.
Written and produced by lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, Stand! is considered an artistic high-point of the band’s career.
“Everyday People” is one of Sly Stone‘s pleas for peace and equality between differing races and social groups, a major theme and focus for the band.
The Family Stone featured Caucasians Greg Errico and Jerry Martini in its lineup, as well as females Rose Stone and Cynthia Robinson; making it an early major integrated band in rock history.
Sly and the Family Stone’s message was about peace and equality through music, and this song reflects the same.

“Everyday People”
song lyrics:
Sometimes I’m right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I’m in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can’t accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh sha sha we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can’t figure out the bag I’m in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair that doesn’t like the short hair
For bein’ such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo Oh sha sha we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won’t accept the black one
That won’t accept the red one that won’t accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people

He is the business of love.
It’s kind of His second name.

Have you accepted Christ as your Savior?

“God, I believe in you and your son Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave to save me. Today, I invite Jesus into my heart to stay. I make you Lord over my life. Make me new. Wash me, Lord, and cleanse me. In Jesus Name, Amen”
