The Rock, Pop, and Country Gospel: Finding Scripture in Secular Music with Jeff Fehn

On Your Daily Chocolate, Patty interviews Jeff Fehn, a former college basketball player and longtime corporate professional who later became a church planter and pastor and is now author of The Rock, Pop, and Country Gospel. Fehn explains how his retirement planning and a pivotal moment hearing Jennifer Nettles’ “Life Is Sweet” sparked his concept: pair non-religious rock, pop, and country songs with Bible passages that echo their themes, along with song backstories and devotional reflections.

He selected 50 songs using online lists and unexpected discoveries, noting challenges when little background information exists. The book is designed for daily devotionals, small groups, Sunday school, and outreach, featuring discussion questions, a Spotify playlist, and QR codes linking to each song. Fehn also previews a Nashville book fair appearance and shares quick personal favorites.
