## Resource

Luke and Joel Smallbone from for King & Country talk to Evan Paul and answer the hard questions, like (20:23) whether or not they could beat Dan + Shay in an arm wrestling match. We’re kidding, mostly. The duo do talk honestly about (6:30) balancing their Christian and country audience and (10:50) why fans in their home country Australia are so much rowdier than fans in the U.S. Plus, (1:45) the story of their new song “World On Fire,” (18:10) why they play the Grand Ole Opry so often and how a nasty sports injury led to their formation. Then (23:16) the Night Cap with Billy Dukes.
