Today we get to hear from a few of the members of a band called Sow and Tether. We talked about their new EP entitled “Stripes Speak Out”, their heart for their local church, and more.

If you're looking to do a band model for your local church worship ministry, I think you'll get a lot out of this episode.

Before the interview, I share a little from my heart about a recent conference I attended called "Lift". It had a big impact on me. Moving forward with things here, you'll soon see some changes take place here at the site. More on this later.

For now, I wrote a post about the conference in more detail here at my blog.

Enough on that though; let's get into the highlights from my chat with Sow and Tether....
