For our last podcast episode of the year, we hosted Kaleb Moore and Jonathan Walker of Prestonwood Baptist Church. They talk about leadership and preparation during Christmas, how to care for our own souls during the busiest seasons of the year, and approaching Christmas from a missional posture.

We spoke with Pat Barrett on how the songs on his latest albums Happily Hidden and Shelter captured two different but equally true “slices” of his faith, and the modern discomfort but ultimate freedom that comes from dwelling in the hidden place with Christ. He encourages the practices of fasting and solitude and putting ourselves in places where you're reminded that life is a gift.

We are excited to host worship leader, gospel artist, and now author Travis Greene on the podcast today! 

Recently Travis released his first book, Are You Praying for the Wrong Thing. The book confronts this question: When we pray and God doesn't seem to be answering our prayers, what do we do next? Are we praying for the right thing or preparing for what we've asked for?

A founding member of Elevation Worship, Mack Brock has always had a heart for writing songs that give a language and a voice for people to have a conversation with God. He’s co-written songs that have resonated so deeply with the Church including “Do It Again” and “O Come to the Altar.” Now part of Centricity Music as a solo artist, Mack Brock will be releasing his new album, This Is Holy, on September 27th. Stuart Leach from our team has a conversation with Mack about these new songs, worshipping through wilderness seasons, the holiness and gravity of leading worship, and the importance of community in ministry.

Today we host worship leaders and songwriters, Alexander Pappas and Kim Walker-Smith! Recently, they each had songs featured in the film Multiplied: a 5-part docuseries following Chris Worthington’s global journey to uncover the growth of Christianity around the world.

They both bring insight into asking and praying for revival, the journey they’ve been on with this topic (and rethinking the word revival itself), how they got involved in the film project, and what God has been teaching them recently in the worship-writing process. 

Check out their recent MultiTracks Sessions on our YouTube channel!

We were honored to host Sinach this summer and capture MultiTracks Sessions of her new music and this really encouraging podcast episode! Sinach is a household name known by many for writing some of the most sung songs in our time such as “Way Maker,” “I Know Who I Am,” “The Name of Jesus,” Rejoice, and more. These songs have become anthems in many Churches and homes all around the world. She recently was  #1 on the Billboard Chart on the Christian Songwriter category for 10 weeks, a feat no African had previously achieved, and she is the most streamed and followed Gospel Female Artist from Africa.

Sinach speaks on her early, wide-ranging musical influences, how God’s calling is a process, the idea of having spiritual eyes and a new creation mentality, the inspiration behind “Way Maker” (the most translated and most sung Gospel song in recent times), and why she doesn’t call her music Gospel or Christian, but simply Jesus music.

Her most recent album Victory Sounds is available now, and she and Chris also talk about collaborating with Israel Houghton and the scriptural meaning behind the title. 

This podcast episode is also available on YouTube:

“I think naturally, and maybe subconsciously, I go into writing about how good and faithful the Lord is because I need to remind myself in those seasons.”

We have bonus episode out today with Josh Baldwin! He speaks on the Isaiah 43 inspiration for the songs on his latest record, the spiritual reminders he needs in seasons of depression and anxiety and he strives to write songs that can meet you where you are, but not leave where you are.

CeCe Winans is back on the podcast today! She shares how she prepares and gets out of her own way before leading worship, never forsaking Him in order to perform for the people you’re leading and how we’re living in a time where the Church needs to make more noise. 

She and Chris Baker also discuss her powerful versions of “Goodness of God,” “Holy Forever,” and “That’s My King,” and how her upcoming record reminds believers who we are in Him. “We are royalty because we belong to Him - who wouldn’t wanna tell somebody about that?”

“Singing or praying the Psalms is a performative act. Saying them to God alters one's relationship in a way that merely listening does not.” Robbie Seay discusses his journey from The Robbie Seay Band all the way to being involved in the first original project from The Worship Initiative, multi-generational collaboration, healthy leadership, and writing songs for the Church straight from “the hymnbook” of the Bible.
