About this listen

This week, Jeff & Josue spin back to 1983 for a deep-cut album that shaped an entire corner of ’80s Christian music — Leon Patillo’s Live Experience. 🎹🔥


From funk grooves and keytar solos to soulful gospel storytelling, they rediscover a live record that blended church charisma with stadium-sized energy. Jeff grew up with this cassette in his family car; for Josue, it’s a first-time listen through a whole new lens.
