Cass Lester explains 'Finally Serene' is about reaching a point of peace while still carrying the past, wanting to purge what held him down. After the performance the hosts discuss the song's theme of guilt and self-punishment, the free download on his Facebook/ReverbNation page, his upcoming full-length album versus the EP trend, and joke about album art.

Stephen's martyrdom, hospice peace, and the book of Job
Dan, drawing on his years as a hospice chaplain, points to Stephen being stoned in Acts 7 and to the Holy Spirit-given peace he has seen in dying believers versus the anger he observed in the dying without faith: 'people die the way they live.'
