Jon Reichardt is an ARIA-nominated music producer who's worked with some of Australia's biggest hip hop artists: Hilltop Hoods, Bliss n Eso, 360. But this conversation delves into the deeper struggles Jon has faced in the past, at the intersection of mental ill-health and toxic theology. Jon shares about some of the darkest chapters he's faced and how he emerged from them with a more beautiful and healing conception of God.
At the end of the episode Will and Jon share a brand new track they've been working on as part of a mental health campaign: Gravity & Grace. A stirring combination of spoken word poetry and atmospheric music, the track is a perfect way to conclude the conversation, acknowledging the weight of life (gravity) while holding space for wonder and healing (grace).
