Speaking

Tokens Show is Nashville’s Theological Variety Show. It may be more accurate to say that it is the world’s only Theological Variety Show. And that it’s pretty dang fun. Each episode is anchored by a house band of some of the best musicians in the world, and then we welcome all manner of guests: brilliant artists representing more Grammy and Dove and IBMA and Academy of Country Music and Pulitzer and poet laureate awards than we can count; professors from Yale and Harvard and Stanford; Country Music Hall of Famers; journalists and activists who have helped bend American culture toward justice; performers who’ve sold millions and those who’ve never recorded an album, but all having some lyric or melody which moves the heart and soul to pay attention to the grace of living; we talk about stuff that matters, and honor truth-tellers, justice-seekers, and courageous acts of mercy. We like satire, smarts, and songs, and practice hospitality. We celebrate Most Outstanding manifestations of artistic beauty, and we laugh a lot. And we always break down false dichotomies.
