About this listen

"Church got too polished. Too professional. So professional that we stopped making room for people to grow." — Courtney Beard

In this no-holds-barred conversation, Gerard Bonner sits down with Courtney Beard — a true multi-hyphenate who went from Broadway stages and Gap Band tours to call centers, pulpits, and purpose.

Courtney opens up about:

  • Singing with legends like Jennifer Holliday and the Gap Band

  • How fame nearly wrecked his marriage and his faith

  • The moment Shirley Murdock laid hands on him and everything changed

  • Why modern church culture may be killing creativity

  • How God literally “fired” him to save his soul

  • And the painful road back to ministry, manhood, and meaning

This isn’t just an episode — it’s a masterclass on redemption, resilience, and finding your voice when you’ve almost lost it all.

Tap in. You won’t forget this one.
