You have a window of time as an artist, but songwriting can last forever.” – Sarah Reeves

Sarah Reeves has one of my favorite voices in all of Christian music. And this interview is a powerful challenge to any creative or anyone who wants to make a living as an artist.

We talk about songwriting hacks, the power of YouTube, getting started, and being who God has called you to be. So good.

padslogoToday’s podcast is brought to you by Coresound. Coresound is an amazing new company that provides pad loops for your worship services.

What are pad loops, you may say? Essentially, it’s like the best keyboard sound or guitar swell you’ve ever heard, sitting underneath your live worship team. It’s helps to create a beautiful, patient atmosphere for your worship team and fill out the sound.

They’re a great investment if you have a smaller worship team or if you have a large team but want to create a bigger sound and improve your transitions. We’ve used them quite a bit at my church. We’ve actually done a two piece setup with me on a guitar, pad loops, and a drum pad and it sounds HUGE. And of all the pads I’ve tried, Coresound are the best sounding. By far.

I have the Deluxe bundle which comes with 6 different sounding pads in all 12 keys. It’s amazing because you literally have an arsenal of versatility for your worship team. Load them up on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and you’re good to go. Whatever you play within the key of the pad loop sounds amazing, and each pad lasts for about 20 minutes.

So here’s the deal: head on over to coresoundpads.com and use the promo code “beyondsunday” and get yourself 20% off any purchase.

    Although I’m writing a book, not music, Sarah Reeves inspired me to persist and take joy in knowing that the Lord has given me a specific “sound” or style or take on the topic. Thanks, Sarah, and thanks, David for your helpful podcasts.
