Matt Maher on ‘The Chosen,’ anxiety, racial justice and his new album

This week, Ashley and Zac are joined by Matt Maher. Matt is a
nine-time-GRAMMY nominee and three-time-GMA Dove Award winning
musician. His latest album is “The Stories I Tell Myself.” They
talk to Matt about his connection with the hit TV show “The Chosen”
and how the events of the past couple of years influenced his new
album. They discuss how the pandemic affected his art, why he
decided to write songs about racial justice and polarization and
they get Matt’s take on the liturgy wars. During Signs of the
Times, the hosts discuss new allegations of sexual abuse against a
prominent Jesuit artist. Plus, how should we think about lifting
Covid-19 protocols at Mass around the Communion cup and sign of
peace? Links from the show: Prominent Jesuit artist restricted from
