Episode 81 - Mothaltar: Aaron Ashcroft

Author: Despite Popular Belief May 5, 2022 Duration: 30:34
Aaron Ashcroft of the Christian metal band, mothaltar, joins us to talk about how Jen Ledger (Skillet) got him into drumming and how the progression landed him in the metal scene. Aaron shares a glimpse of the writing process across states, what it's like sharing the stage with Facedown Records bands, and his personal faith in Jesus Christ. Mothaltar just released a brand new song, Original Vision, and it is HEAVY. I shot a reaction video for it, and my jaw dropped at the midway point... I think yours will too.

In a world saturated with hot takes and shifting cultural narratives, Despite Popular Belief Podcast offers a grounded space for thoughtful, Reformed biblical theology. This isn't about adding another opinion to the noise; it's a deliberate return to Scripture as the ultimate authority. Each episode seeks to build up and edify those within the Christian faith, providing solid theological foundation and practical understanding for navigating life as a believer. The conversations here are rooted in the conviction that God's Word is sufficient and transformative, offering clarity when other voices create confusion. Beyond strengthening the church, this podcast also speaks directly to anyone on the outside looking in-whether you're curious about the God of the Bible or feel disconnected from contemporary church expressions. It’s for those who sense that mainstream spiritual discourse often misses the deeper, timeless truths. You’ll hear discussions that tackle real questions with intellectual honesty and pastoral care, always circling back to what the scriptures actually say. Tune in for a perspective that challenges prevailing assumptions not with trendy arguments, but with a faithful examination of foundational doctrine. The aim is to equip listeners to stand firm in their convictions and engage the world with wisdom, echoing the call to skillfully stand before kings. This is a podcast dedicated to substance over spectacle, where ancient text informs modern life.
