In my latest podcast episode, I’m trying something different. This is the first of a two-part discussion on Bob Dylan’s Christian trilogy. Recorded during a drive along I-20 through Georgia, I talk about the songs, Dylan’s conversion, and how his faith journey connects to my own “coming-to-Jesus” moment — which happened five years after his.

Since I don’t have the rights to play Dylan’s music on the show, here’s how it works: I’ll introduce each song, then you can pause the podcast, listen to the track, and come back for the discussion. You can listen straight through without pausing, but I think you’ll get more out of it if you take the time to hear each song.

Originally, I planned to cover all three albums in one episode, but I got a bit carried away with the first one — so the second and third albums will be featured next week.

A quick production note: I recorded this using a shotgun mic with a high-pass filter to reduce road noise, but you’ll still hear a bit of the highway in the background. Think of it as part of the atmosphere.
