S6 Ep4 - A Spiritual Pilgrim Walking To The Beat Of His Own Bass - Connor DeFehr

Oh My God Pod - The Podcast with Hollis Moore and Lori Spiker

When Conner looked at the blood red moon and listened to his dad respond to his inquiry about the book of Revelation, that was the moment when he felt the intersection of his faith with reality. From this childhood experience, Connor dove into understanding what people of other denominations believed and became obsessed with the bass as well. His tendency toward study in isolation, deep reflection and obsession to compose music stemmed from a sense of pride and led him to feel like even more of an outcast while in college. Throughout his young life he immersed himself in the theology of Southern Baptist - Presbyterian - Reformed - Pentacostal/Charismatic - Messianic Jewish - Eastern Orthodoxy all the while, desiring to learn truth through the scripture and obtain a closer relationship with God. In his decision to pursue a relationship with God versus a particular theology, Conner turned away from a career in music performance to one of music education which would take him on a journey to seminary, become a youth pastor, a worship leader and now a hospital chaplain. Hear how God was preparing Connor through his immersion in other denominations to companion people of diverse faiths as a chaplain and how Connor leverages the unique ability to speak in tongues to connect with God through prayer.
