#69: Hunter Thompson On Bethel Music, Poetry, Corporate Worship, & The New EP [Podcast]

562x3161386265915HunterThompson_562x316There’s something about honest, raw, beautiful writing that opens your heart to truth.

That’s why I’m thankful for Hunter Thompson and his newest EP with Bethel Music, Swan Song. This is one of the most beautiful collection of songs to be released this year.

Honest, stripped back, pure. In this interview Hunter and I talk about the album, his journey from getting saved to leading worship right away, how he got connected to Bethel, poetry, corporate worship, and much more.

Don’t miss it!
