Show notes
After a week on the islands celebrating 26 years of marriage, Mike Baker returns home sunburned, grateful, and changed.
In this deeply personal episode, he reflects on the quiet moments that inspired his new album Human First — a project born out of compassion, faith, and the belief that kindness still matters in a divided world.
From floating off St. John with Kellie and writing Stop Making Amy Cry about his sister-in-law’s incredible heart, to wrestling with faith, leadership, and the headlines that challenge our humanity — this episode is raw, real, and full of truth.
Mike opens up about what it means to live with mercy, lead with grace, and create from a place of love instead of noise. He shares the story behind Human First, why he still believes in people, and how we can all help carry the flame forward.
If you’ve been craving something honest — something that cuts through the chaos and speaks straight to the heart — this one’s for you.
