Welcome to one of the biggest episodes of 53: 5, ever! Why?

Welcome to another episode of 53:5 - The Official Stryper Podcast, for June of 2026! In this episode, I'm forced to record on the run again, but I think you'll agree... this show is better than average! The theme to this show is first 'singles', or songs released to get the hype and machine going. And, these songs are from Stryper's last six studio albums, putting a focus on the Stryper of now! Enjoy, and thanks for listening... and Happy Birthday Oz!
