008: From Broadway to the Pulpit — Courtney Beard’s Wild Ride Through Fame, Faith, and Failure
”Church got too polished. Too professional. So professional that we stopped making room for people to grow.” — Courtney Beard
In this no-holds-barred conversation, Gerard Bonner sits down with Courtney Beard — a true multi-hyphenate who went from Broadway stages and Gap Band tours to call centers, pulpits, and purpose.
Courtney opens up about:
Singing with legends like Jennifer Holliday and the Gap Band
How fame nearly wrecked his marriage and his faith
The moment Shirley Murdock laid hands on him and everything changed
Why modern church culture may be killing creativity
How God literally “fired” him to save his soul
And the painful road back to ministry, manhood, and meaning
This isn’t just an episode — it’s a masterclass on redemption, resilience, and finding your voice when you’ve almost lost it all.
Tap in. You won’t forget this one.
