Today’s guest is no stranger to great songs – The Great I Am, Rescue, Amazed. But Jared Anderson and I talk about so much more than just the songs and the music.

Enjoy my conversation with Jared Anderson.

Today’s guest is no stranger to worship music. So very honored to welcome Chris Tomlin to the Beyond Sunday podcast. Chris and I were able to catch up in the middle of his Love Ran Red tour with Rend Collective & Tenth Avenue North.

Chris has seen tremendous success as a songwriter and an artist, but remains a kind, genuine, down-to-earth guy. In this interview we talk about his family life, writing worship songs, the Love Ran Red tour, his beginnings as a worship leader, & how to stay fresh and focused in ministry.

Auditions. It’s one of the most talked about subjects among worship teams.

The team at National Community Church have a great system in place for recruiting, evaluating, and developing musicians numerous times throughout the calendar year. I wanted to sit down and talk with Worship Director Kurtis Parks & Worship Leader Joel Buckner on how they do this.

There’s so much more to glean from this episode too: what worship ministry looks like in a multisite church, making creativity intentional by placing it on the calendar, as well as NCC Worship’s brand new album with Integrity Music.

So honored to have some new friends on the podcast this week. Andrew Greer is a Dove award-nominated singer/songwriter and Ginny Owens is a 3 time Dove award winning artist. What’s interesting about this interview is both of them are first time authors, here to discuss their new book Transcending Mysteries: Who is God and What Does He Want from Us?

I loved the twists and turns in this conversation: songwriting, book writing, knowing God, hymns, leading worship: it’s all here. Enjoy!

Ever get frustrated by how simple worship music is?

Maybe it’s not such a bad thing. And is it possible to be too creative in our corporate gatherings? This and so much more is covered in my conversation with Matt Maher. He has tons of wise, enlightening, practical advice to share with us today. His new album Saints & Sinners has just released and is amazing.
