#6: Music Ministry And The Music Industry: An Interview With Craig Dunnagan [Podcast]

Screen Shot 2013-05-01 at 8.40.52 AMWhat if you could ask any question to a leader in the worship music industry with a passion for music ministry?

In today’s podcast, I chat with Craig Dunnagan. And that’s exactly what I did.

Craig is the VP of Music Publishing and Ministry Alliances at Integrity Music/David C. Cook. He’s also one of the co-founders of worshiptogether.com.

In our conversation we cover a lot of ground. From songwriting to the music industry to leading and loving people in the local church, Craig had some great ideas to share.

#5: An Interview With Former Delirious Frontman Martin Smith [Podcast]

martin-smithI can’t tell you how excited I was to sit down with one of my songwriting and worship leading heroes, Martin Smith.

With the Delirious chapter coming to an end, Martin has now released a solo project of music (with more to come later this year).

At the end of this post, I’ll let you know you can win a FREE copy.

How To Move Beyond Your Songlist To Love People And Lead Genuine Worship

dphclub.com_1203635871microphoneWe’ve all been there.

Sunday is almost here and we’re not quite sure what to sing. What do we do? Throw it together.

When in doubt, just find some killer songs and sing them, right?
