Frequency Podcast

Some days, you're sitting at your desk, fighting the drudgery of the day job when, out of the blue, you receive a text from the manager of The Union of Sinners and Saints inviting you to interview the guys as they wrap up in the studio. These are good days. And who are the guys? Billy Smiley and John Schillt. You might be most familiar with them as associated with their other projects: Whiteheart and Petra respectively.Joe sat down with Billy and John to chat about the forthcoming album, writing songs together, why they can't share any details, and why Newsboys was the worst band ever. Also, don't miss the little gift at the end.

Multi-platinum five time Grammy Award winner Steven Curtis Chapman is set to release his latest project on March 4th, 2016. While Chapman contends that all of his records have been worship albums, he had yet to write one specifically with corporate worship in mind. Over the span of an almost 30 year career and 23 studio albums, this is Chapman's first “Worship” album.

You'd think that five albums into his career as a singer/songwriter and fronting the band that bears his name, more folks would be familiar with Josh Blakesley. He's worked with mainstays of the Christian music industry including our friends Michael Farren and Mia Fieldes, yet to many of us, he's a newcomer. And perhaps that's because he's Catholic. Though Matt Maher and our recent guest, Audrey Assad, have been able to breakthrough, many Catholic music artists have been unable to crossover into mainstream CCM.Well, let's change that. Spend a few minutes with us as Joe Brookhouse sits down with Josh to discuss bridging the apparent gap between Protestant and Catholic in Christian art, worshiping in seasons of deepest wounds, the band's most recent album, Even In This, and writing a song about the very American holiday of Thanksgiving with the very Australian Mia Fieldes.

Though we spend a lot of time connecting with artists, we also believe it is important to connect with behind the scenes in those essential but often unheralded roles. Our conversation with Jonathan Mason is one of those occasions. Jonathan heads up the worship arm of Word Entertainment. An artist himself and graduate of Moody Bible Institute with a degree in Biblical Studies, he followed God's somewhat circuitous route from worship leader to his current position as Director of Word Worship. Listen to learn more about Jonathan's journey, his heart for worship leaders and worship music, and the exciting events on the horizon at Word Worship.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the podcast. For our first episode of 2016, we wanted to share something special and uniquely appropriate. Katie Gustafson is a name familiar to many folks as an accomplished singer-songwriter and worship leader. But she wears another hat - she's a licensed professional counselor who has been in practice since 2009. It was her work as a therapist that brought her to our attention.The topic of self-care is one that is perhaps not discussed frequently enough amongst creatives. Considering that we are entering the long Winter months, we wanted to arm you with some information and options to help you thrive and grow while the sky is dark and ground is frozen (especially for Dan in PEI). Katie sat down with Joe to discuss the importance of being emotionally and mentally healthy and self-aware as an artist, including her own experience.

If you’ve been keeping up with our series of interviews from CMS NW 2015, the name Andrew Marcus is likely a familiar one. This gregarious Canadian songwriter and worship leader jumped in and facilitated several of the resulting artist conversations. Andrew is based out of Vancouver, BC, which is quick couple of hours from Seattle where CMS NW took place. Andrew has written and worked with some big names including Paul Baloche, Leeland Mooring, and producer Ed Cash. They describe him with words such as “sincere”, “anointed”, and “refreshing”. And we tend to agree.
