On Kilo Kish's 'Negotiations', robotic soundscapes mirror the transactional, 'churned-out' side of the music industry. She asks "what am I worth?" - not to an unforgiving business model, but to herself. In this interview, we discuss this tension, & the importance of art on one's own terms.

Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Carmin invites listeners to return to the dreams they once held as children—before pain, fear, and life’s hardships silenced their hope. With deep vulnerability and spiritual insight, he reminds us that God never took those dreams away; they’ve just been buried under the weight of life.

Drawing from Romans 12:2, Pastor Carmin unpacks the truth that transformation begins in the mind. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” That’s not just Scripture—it’s a strategy. He shares a personal story from his time serving in the military, where he learned a profound truth: “My mind is my mind. No one can control what I think unless I let them.”

Whether you were hurt, abused, or simply told to “grow up” and let go of your dreams, this episode reminds you that it’s not too late. You can reclaim what God placed in your heart. You can think differently. You can dream again.

Key Points:

Opening Prayer: A blessing over the listeners’ ears and eyes to receive truth and healing.
Childhood Dreams: Reflection on how, as children, we had bold dreams and big intentions.
What Happened? Life, trauma, and voices of doubt often cause us to stop dreaming.
Personal Story: Pastor Carmin shares a vulnerable moment from his time in the military where he felt lost but still carried God’s purpose.
Encouragement: Your dream didn’t die — it got buried. You can uncover it again.
Mental Autonomy: “No one can make you think what you don’t want to think. My mind is my mind.”
Scripture Focus – Romans 12:2: Transformation comes through renewing the mind and aligning with God’s will.
Call to Action: Take time to sit with God, ask what dream needs to be revived, write it down, and begin again.
Closing Prayer: A prayer of restoration, boldness, and renewed purpose.

Send us a text In this episode, Pastor Carmin continues discussing the difficulties of having strong faith. Many times we all feel like we are at our lowest, and in that moment we can only turn to God. He is the one who will make ways and paths for you if you put your faith in him. Romans 4:16-17 (NIV): Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

Grace Has a GPS 5:44

Send us a text A Lexus isn’t built for off-roading—and a dump truck isn’t meant to ride smooth. Everything has a purpose. Everything has a design. And when you operate outside of that design, something breaks. In this powerful episode, Pastor Carmin dives into the truth that purpose protects you . When you don’t understand what you were made for, life becomes painful, confusing, and misaligned. Most people live—and die—without ever asking God: Why did You put me here? If you’re chasing joy, chasing success, chasing peace, but still feel empty—it may be because you’re living outside of your God-given assignment. You were graced for something specific. There’s a place where your blessing, your joy, and your peace all meet —and it’s not found in random striving. It’s found in obedience to the call . Just like Abraham, who was told: “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1, NIV) He didn’t get the full map—just the command to go. That same faith is required of us. Your purpose may not be fully revealed yet, but it’s already written. It’s time to ask the One who made you what you were made for—and get anchored in it .

Send us a text In this lively and heartfelt episode, Pastor Carmin brings a little Italian spice to a powerful truth: you were not made by accident, capisce? God crafted you on purpose, with purpose—and not even the messes, mistakes, or hardships along the way can change that. Life’s struggles might have you throwing your hands up like, “Forget about it!”—but every trial is actually shaping you, not sidelining you. With a mix of biblical encouragement, personal stories, and a few laughs straight out of a good Italian family dinner, Pastor Carmin reminds us that even when life gets a little messy (and it will), God is still writing a beautiful story. Your hardships aren’t the end; they’re part of the masterpiece in progress. Get ready to reflect, and leave knowing that you’re handcrafted by God Himself—no assembly line, no accidents. Just pure, intentional, one-of-a-kind purpose. Mangia on that truth, and let's move forward stronger (and smiling)! Intro Support the show…
