Godly Whistleblower with Mackenzie Morgan

Mackenzie observes how the contemporary 'worship leader' role has maybe run its course - and maybe should have never existed in the first place. Why was the 'worship leader' created? Is the worship leader a prescribed church office/role in the Bible? Has the worship leader helped advance the church or have they caused more problems?

In this episode, Mackenzie brings multiple questions and points to the table surrounding the topic of "Christian music"- but this time, observing the entertainment strand of Christian music (not the kind used as contemporary worship). What makes Christian music "Christian"? Why were so many of its trends so...lame? Does it set up Christians to be disillusioned?

Jesus Culture's "Send The Fire" caused quite a stir online when it first came out. Mackenzie breaks down the song's lyrics, comparing and evaluating them in light of Scripture. Should we ask for 'fire' from God in our worship songs? Do we really need 'another Pentecost?'

The worship song "How He Loves" written by John Mark McMillan (popularized by Crowder) has been a staple component song of the music part of Evangelical church worship since 2009. But how do the lyrics compare to Scripture? What's the story behind the song? Mackenzie breaks down the lyrics and some of the irreverent language of similar worship songs written in the past.

Why do so many modern worship songs today feel like a romantic love letter we would write to our boyfriend? When did this shift happen in history? How and why did worship music become so feminized? Mackenzie breaks down these questions and talks about how our worship music should be full of robust, theological lyrics and language of the truths in Scripture and why we should cringe and do away with overly emotional, pragmatic worship music that is so popular these days.

Women's bible studies get a bad rap - and rightfully so. A lot (not all) of the bible study material that's marketed to women in the church is so theologically weak, you could drink it black (if it were a cup of coffee.) Why are women not encouraged to dive deeper into theology and given anything of substance? Mackenzie breaks down why this problem exists today as well as her suggestions for solid bible study materials that can be helpful tools for studying Scripture.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jenn Nizza - a former psychic who used to be heavily involved in New Age beliefs and the occult and is now using her platform to share the Gospel and about the dangers within New Age teachings. She shares some insight on how exactly these practices are creeping into the church today in the music we sing and how we approach and think of the Holy Spirit as well as how our hearts should approach this issue in order to worship God in spirit and in truth.

What should our perception be about songs like "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll? Is there anything lyrically we should be looking out for? Should we sing these types of songs in church? Mackenzie Morgan deep dives into the song and background behind it as well as how 'American Christianity' is running rampant in the church and society today.
