There was so much to unpack about this album, we've had to make our first feature length episode! Dave and Lindsay discuss the arrival of Petra in her classic form, the sound that came to define an era, the songs that blew the minds of a generation, and the foundation of a whole new era in Christian Rock.
Not every band gets to make an album that stands the test of time; that rises above and becomes timeless; in which every single song is legendary; which lifts the spirit, soothes the soul and makes you stand on your roof with your arms raised and cry out "FREEDOM!"
If this is a test...does Whiteheart pass? Coming at a major turning point for the band, Dave and Lindsay discuss how the heights keep getting pushed higher, and ponder the formation of what many consider to be the Whiteheart "Dream Team".
Now we're talking! White Heart's fourth studio album followed a season of heartache and tears, but they put the emotion into the music and spun a brand new tale of hope and healing, with some help from new friends.
For the truly dedicated fans.
Setting the gold standard for "Putting the Band Back Together", the 1985 lineup of Petra made fans dreams come true with this reunion project. Dave and Lindsay finally bring the Petraspective to a close with the final 'official' Petra project (at the time at least).
1We all know it: This is the one you've all been waiting for! That's been true for the On Rock team as well as the Wildman and Steve Show, as they join forces on this episode to rave about Petra's studio swan-song.
Dave and Lindsay take things down a bit while basking in the warmth of God's Spirit. Petra's Revival is an album of worship that is a genuine as they come...while perhaps still feeling a little familiar. Join us as we talk about one of the truly unique Petra albums, and once more remark on the end of an era.
In the late 90's Petra experienced drastic changes in their attempts to create music that appealed to the youth of the time. This episode Lindsay and Dave discuss whether "God Fixation" accomplishes what the group hoped for.
Get ready for some hot takes as Dave sits down with Petra's one-time leading man, Greg Xavier Volz!
It's an era marked by defying expectations, and Petra continues that trend in the 90's with a return to the Praise and Worship well. Dave and Lindsay had a bit of a salty discussion about this album. Join the Petraspective to hear how two Aussie brothers in their 40's were surprised when revisiting this title.
The Petraspective is back! After our summer hiatus, Dave and Lindsay have returned in the year of Petra's 50th anniversary to talk at great length about this great band. In our return episode we discuss the beginning of the third act in the story of Petra. We have No Doubt you'll want to join the conversation!
Wrapping up 2021 is an interview with the phenomenally gifted and servant-hearted John Schlitt. Dave sat down to discuss the journey of Petra's leading man, some of the highlights of his time with the band and what it has meant to him. From all of us here at On Rock, we hope you've had a most blessed Christmas, and we'll see you in 2022!
Wildman of the Wildman and Steve Show joins Lindsay and Dave for a total nostalgia trip. Don't expect objective views on this one folks, because this album holds a special place in all three of our rock-loving hearts. Join us to hear how much it means to us, and to find out which member of the band isn't so thrilled with it. The Petraspective's been snoozing - time for a WAKE UP CALL!
No tricks, no misdirection...but a big surprise for all of us! Dave had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours talking with Petra's legendary founder, and goes deep into the journey of nearly half a century.
Following the staggering success of Beyond Belief, Petra made the very intentional decision to take their next album in unexpected directions. What did we think of the result? Press play to listen to our extensive thoughts on Unseen Power!
Dave, Lindsay and Ron wrap up their discussion on Beyond Belief and turn their attention to The Lists. What songs make the Top 25? Where does the cover art rank? Does everyone agree? You'll have to press play to find out.
Dave, Lindsay and special guest Ron Roxtar take a close look at the songs of Beyond Belief.
The Petraspective reaches The Rock...The Higher Place, and this time, we're not alone! Music journalist and all-round Renaissance Man Ron Roxtar joins On Rock to discuss Petra's most commercially successful album, and the foundation for Christian music of the 90's! This one is so huge, we're going to have to do three parts. Come and listen in as we talk about going from strength to strength, a very early-90's music video, and examine the opening songs from BEYOND BELIEF!
What a gift! In 1989 Petra gave something back to the church around the world who had journeyed with them for nearly 20 years. Trailblazing a new kind of album - Rock Worship - Petra once again redefined how the church regarded music. Join Dave and Lindsay as they celebrate...and sing unto the Lord.
