In this episode we...

• have an interview with Matt Merker, Director of Creative Resources and Training for Getty Music.
• Questions we ask:
  • You have said you have a Holy obsession with congregational singing. Why do you think the rural pastors listening should care so much about how their congregations sing?
  • What is the biggest mistake you think most churches make when they plan their services?
  • Are there any guiding theological goals a pastor should have as he leads his team to prepare for the Lord’s Day gathering?
  • How would you encourage a  brother in a place like that to get started in making changes that would lead to more meaningful and robust services?
  • What is the role of congregational singing in the life of a believer?
  • How can we overcome those stylistic preferences and expectations to produce lively corporate singing that is good for the whole church?
• Find Matt at: https://www.mattmerkermusic.com/.

Stuff Rural Pastors Can Use Review:

• Matt reviews his upcoming book, Corporate Worship.

Our Quote of the Day:

• "A worshiping community is made up of individuals whose lives are centered around the Savior they worship together each week. A worshiping community expects to encounter God's presence not only on Sunday morning but every day. A worshiping community recognizes that passionate times of singing God's praise flow from and lead to passionate lives lived for the glory of Jesus Christ." - Bob Kauflin, Worship Matters
