The Brilliance Podcast

Special Presentation Of Undaunted

Updates on new music from The Brilliance! 

As well as a special presentation of David Gungor's new podcast called Undaunted: Conversations With Radical Peacemakers. 

Show Notes: 

On this special presentation of Undaunted, we hear Part 1 of our interview with Robi Damelin, an Israeli mother who lost her son to a Palestinian sniper. The moment she heard the news, she responded with a line that has since rung out across the world: “You may not kill anyone in the name of my son.”

Since, Robi has dedicated her life to the work of nonviolence and reconciliation: she has spoken all over the world, starred in a feature-length documentary, and worked closely with the joint Israeli-Palestinian organization, the Parents Circle - Families Forum, a group of over 600 bereaved families in Israel/Palestine who advocate for reconciliation and an end to the conflict.

Tour of the Album

Podcast produced and mixed by John Arndt. 

Oh Dreamer Suite

This is the story of our new album, Suite No. 1 Oh Dreamer, available everywhere Friday Nov. 9th. 

As we engage with complex issues, may we see the humanity in the other, in the stranger, or perhaps in the person that happens to be on the opposite side of the aisle.

So may this song be a conversation starter. And let it invite you to dream again.

Produced by John Arndt and David Gungor. Sound design and mix by John Arndt.
