Have you ever been in a atmosphere of hungry worshipers singing a song and then after a few moments pass, someone sings a "new song"? You know, the song where the lyrics aren't on the screen. The song that seems as though it was just written 5 seconds ago and no one initially knows the song except the person singing it?

Songs are often used to convey messages that spoken words alone aren't able to convey. We often use songs to express emotions, tell stories, teach information, provide therapy and even prophesy...yes PROPHESY! Prophetic songs have been thought to be exclusive to impromptu hyper -emotive times of worship. However, what if I told you that you could actually prepare the prophetic song?

In this episode, Chris and worship leading friend Robyn Riddick, explore the prophetic song, the spontaneous song and how worship leaders prepare to hear the voice of God. Come on in and join us in the house....The Open House Podcast...Let's GO!

You have talent. You have a gift. People verbally and emotionally affirm your gift week after week. Everyone knows your name. You hear the world calling your name. You see your name in lights, traveling, living in the most exquisite hotels...but...what's driving this excitement and desire? 

We live in a world of hyper-promotion where we feel pressured to post and advertise our latest accomplishments with high frequency. While there is nothing necessarily wrong with informing people of your accomplishments, if we aren't careful, the ambition and desire to be known can become a dangerous idol. In this episode, worship leader, artist and teacher Casey J joins Chris in the house to discuss the ambition of the worship leader. The friendly and humorous conversation is sure to help the local and national worship leader. With years of service to the local church and the global Church body, Casey is a proven voice sure to leave an impression on your heart that will last a lifetime. So, let's get ready to go in to the house.....The Open House Podcast!

Who runs the world?.....GIRLS! (LOL...I hope you understood my Beyonce' reference there) Here at the Open House Podcast we often reference the rooms of diversity. In this episode, we discuss and celebrate the room of diversity regarding the role of gender voices in worship...specifically the female voice. When we say female voice, the focus isn't the soprano, alto or tenor voice. Rather, we are speaking to the voice of authority and influence of the female worship leader. Our longtime friend Kristin Brown joins the conversation and shares many gems that are sure to encourage every worship leader, both female and male to use their God given voice. Come on in the house with me......The Open House Podcast...let's go!!!

We used to live in an era where the only music we heard on religious radio stations or sang in our churches came from well established, tenured record labels, choirs and artists. These performers were often a collective of friends in the community and some where even family. However, in the last decade, many have realized that their church's music ministries could produce music of the same excellent caliber. The local church music ministry is no longer exclusive to the Sunday morning experience alone. Church choirs and worship teams are releasing music from their local sanctuaries and it's reaching the nations. In this episode, we invite award winning songwriters Vaughan Phoenix and Jeremiah Carlson in The House to share their wisdom on writing songs for the local church. In our conversation, we discussed knowing the "sound", the season, and the vision of your church. We also shared tips on collaboration and how to empower other songwriters on your team. If you are a songwriter interested in producing and writing songs that represent your local church, this episode is one you don't want to miss!! Turn the volume up and let's go in to the house....The Open House Podcast!
