The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Faithful to the Faithless - John 13:36-14:11 - The Upper Room

5 days ago

—

Jesus knows Peter will soon lose faith and deny Him, but instead of chastising Peter, Jesus encourages him. This week we’ll study Peter’s denial, Jesus’ surprising reaction, and what it means for our faith today.

Facing Betrayal - John 13:18-30 - The Upper Room

12 days ago

—

Judas stands not only as a looming figure in the biblical storyline, but as a name synonymous with the worst types of betrayal in popular culture. He turned over Jesus—an innocent man, his friend—to corrupt authorities who would crucify him. This week, we will study this tragic series of events and learn what it can teach us when we face hurt, loss, betrayal, and even evil.…

Marked by Love - John 13:12-17, 31-35 - The Upper Room

19 days ago

—

Love is harder than we think. Yes, we, of course, love our kids and grandkids and close friends and nice people and those who treat us well. But Jesus said that everybody naturally does that anyway (Matt. 5:47). It’s not very hard to love people who love us. The real question is, will we also love those who harm or betray us? Will we keep on loving, even when it means bearing burdens with which we would rather not be bothered? Will we love when the people we love do not love us in return? Will we love those who are unlovely, undeserving, or ungrateful? Loving others is challenging. God does not make it easy, but He does make it possible. And Jesus shows us what it looks like and how it’s done.…

Unlimited Power, Unlimited Service - John 13:1-11 - The Upper Room

25 days ago

—

In Jesus’ final private moments with His disciples, we see Him do something highly unusual. We see Him serve those closest to Him. We don’t typically expect people to spend the final night of their lives serving others, nor do we often witness leaders with enormous amounts of power get down on their knees and serve. But Jesus isn’t normal. He stands apart from the rest of us. And what He did for His disciples is exactly what all of us need.…

Stewarding Finances Well- Deuteronomy 26 - - Use It Well

5 weeks ago

—

Finances can be a touchy subject. It’s the number one point of conflict in marriages, and sometimes people choose to avoid church if the topic is scheduled for an upcoming Sunday (like this one). But while we might regard it as sensitive or uncomfortable, God doesn’t. He has given all of us financial resources, and He has a plan for how we can use them best. This week, we’ll study where generosity begins, why we love giving, and the joyous journey it can be.…

Using Our Trials & Suffering Well - 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 - Use It Well

6 weeks ago

—

When it comes to Christian stewardship, we typically think about how to best use our time, our talents and experiences, or our finances, but what about being good stewards of our trials and our times of suffering? Rather than hiding our pain and pretending that everything is okay when it clearly is not, or rather than being trapped by our pain and never being able to move beyond it, how can our trials and seasons of suffering actually be used for our good, for the good of others, and for God’s greater purposes? Join us this week to find out how.…

Using Our Words Well - James 3:2-12 - Use It Well

7 weeks ago

—

All of us, in one way or another, are able to communicate. Even babies can get their ideas across with cries or gestures. But why did God give us this ability? What is it for? Can we misuse it? This week, we'll study the power of words, their purpose, and the proper way to use them.

8 weeks ago

—

For some, working with children feels like a natural calling, while for others, it's not so instinctive. The truth is, God calls all of us to be involved in stewarding the children in our community. This week, we’ll explore this shared responsibility, the path it leads us on, and how we can remain faithful in guiding the next generation with purpose and perseverance.…

9 weeks ago

—

For some, a job is just a way to pay the bills. Others seem to have a career that perfectly fits their talents, skills, and personality. Whether you work to live or live to work, the truth is, work is an unavoidable and significant part of the human experience. This week, we’ll take a look at how work is part of God’s design and how we can better steward our work, and God-given talents, from the time we enter the workforce through retirement.…
