Amy, Michael, and Steve: The Biggest Stars of 80s CCM \ Amy Grant, Michael Sweet, Steve Taylor

It's 1986. CCM's biggest pop star, alt-rock star, and heavy metal star walk into a bar... Er, music-movie podcast...?

The Season One finale features a conversation with three of the biggest names in 1980s Contemporary Christian Music — who also happen to be larger-than-life, mythic figures to the characters of ELECTRIC JESUS. First, we talk to alt-rocker Steve Taylor, then bring Stryper's Michael Sweet and Amy Grant together for a once-in-a-lifetime conversation about what it was like to live in the CCM spotlight, circa 1986.

Co-hosted by ELECTRIC JESUS writer-director Chris White and Music Supervisor/CCM Historian John J. Thompson, and featuring composer Daniel Smith, Season 1 - Electric Jesus: The Music Behind the Movie explores the world of 1980s Christian rock music with an eye toward the creation of the film’s unforgettable original songs and score, the power of nostalgia, Evangelical youth group culture, and the Christian rock songs and artists that appear in the movie, ELECTRIC JESUS.
