Ep 50: Stu G from Delirious on the Beatitudes Project

Stu G became known as the lead guitarist and songwriter for the revolutionary worship band Delirious? but after years of touring with other artists and logging lots of time as a studio musician, Stu finally decided to take on a passion project long in gestation: a multimedia work based off of The Beatitudes, the opening words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. It started out as a set of songs but then soon grew into a book and a film, all based in Jesus' bold proclamations of blessing for God's people. So, we're celebrating the 50th episode of PostConsumer Reports Podcast with a landmark interview. I talk with Stu G about the scope of his Beatitudes project as well as about his time in Delirious? You can purchase the album here and the book Words From the Hill here, or you can find out more about the project at Stu G's various websites
