God doesn’t want you to write songs to bless the Church, he wants you to write songs to spend time with you.” – Andi Rozier

I love Andi Rozier and what he has built with Vertical Worship. Vertical is an extension of the worship ministry at Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago and for years, Andi has lead the charge.

His team leads so strong and writes some of the best songs for the church. This is a reflection on Andi and his leadership. He empowers others. He loves the church. He pastors. He loves people. This is what is needed out of our worship pastors. We can’t just have a passion for writing songs and making music. We need to love the people.

And Andi challenges us in this interview where we discuss leading a team, gaining momentum, writing songs, and more.

Enjoy!

If songs are catechisms for our lives, we need to write better ones.” – Keith Getty

For years, Keith Getty has written hymns for the modern church. One of Getty’s best-loved songs, In Christ Alone, is still one of my favorite songs to sing with the people of God.

Keith and his wife Kristyn have traveled the world sharing songs and stirring up a spirit of true worship in the Church.

Here in this interview we discuss the Getty’s music ministry, writing hymns, the new book, the power of congregational singing, how to engage your church, rugby (yep), and more!

Seriously so much depth comes from this man. And maybe just a few things that will disrupt and challenge your thinking. The best kind of podcast, in my opinion.

There’s very rarely a musical emergency.” – Seth Mosley

So great to have Seth Mosley back on the podcast. Seth is a Grammy-winning producer and one of the most sought-out songwriters in Christian music.

In this interview we talk about Seth’s Company, Full Circle Music, and all that is going on there in terms of songwriting, producing, publishing, and more.

What I love most about Seth is his heart for equipping artists. He and his team are constantly training and pouring into others.

Don’t miss this!

Could it be that it is our calling is to reveal the secret things of God to our brethren?” – George MacDonald

I love those songwriters who remind me of the power of a song. In a culture obsessed with quick, catchy, & easy, it’s refreshing to hear songs of substance that make you think, feel deeply, and help you worship.

I, for one, am grateful for Andrew Peterson. In this interview we discuss his songwriting process, self-doubt, insecurity, moviemaking, the new record, and more!

This is one of my favorites.

I love those conversations that leave you feeling convicted. Challenged. Called higher.

After talking with Steffany Gretzinger I had to repent of my apathy. This girl is a bright flame for the glory of God. And her new music isn’t half bad either 🙂

We talk about the new album, stage presence, parenting, songwriting, mending relationships, and more.

This is so, so good!
