The Writing Worship Podcast - For Worship Songwriters

The Writing Worship Team is taking over the Brave podcast from now on. 

In this episode, the team discusses the value of the Writing Worship Community to all of their lives.  And, we get to hear from acclaimed singer/songwriter and worship leader, Christy Nockels, who taught on “Writing From a Place of Rest” at our 2022 annual Writing Worship Conference. 

Christy is a veteran in Christian music, from her early days in the band Watermark, her days leading with Passion, and a long career of writing and solo releases. Beyond music, Christy has a heart for family, spiritual health, and sustainable rhythms in life with Christ.

You can find Christy's book The Life You Long For on Amazon now.

The Writing Worship hosts for this episode are:

Eric Nordhoff
Nick Morrow
Emily Weeks
Rachael Thomas

In this podcast, Eric and Krissy sit down with Todd Fields, the creator of Worship Circle - an important resource for worship leaders. He shares how God has ministered to his own heart recently and is about to release music to share more of that part of his story.  We became fast friends and made an instant connection over coffee at the podcast table. 

Worship Circle exists to let worship leaders know that they are loved and that they are not alone.  Sign up now for new Worship Circle groups starting this summer.

One of the best ways to grow as a songwriter is to analyze a popular song to discover what makes it great. That's exactly what we're going to do this week - we're going to break down BLESSED BE YOUR NAME by Matt Redman using a valuable technique we teach in the Worship Songwriter Mentorship and in the Writing Worship curriculum, called Song Mapping. Emily Weeks and Krissy Nordhoff teach us the basics of song mapping and then tear apart this classic worship song together.

Kevin Winebarger dedicates his life to helping Christian artists grow: spiritually, musically, and in ministry. He and his wife, Jessica, run Courage Studios out of Charlotte, NC, and serve clients all over the world.

Many artists have bigger dreams than their discipline and bigger callings than their clarity on how to get there. Kevin leads his clients through an intentional, individualized process by helping them clarify their artistic endeavors and desires and what God’s put in their hearts.

He helps artists in 3 main ways...

1) Branding & Refining their artistry and setting them up with cowrites that elevate and focus their artistic communication.

2) Producing music with them that's exactly on target with who they are and what they’re looking to share (with musical honesty and authenticity is top priority).

3) Empowering them with doable, practical tasks and a game plan to grow their artistry and to steward their audience - through excellent marketing.

Kevin is an inspiring person to talk to.  We can't recommend him enough!

Brett Perkins joins Eric for a conversation about developing a church worship songwriting culture.  We also discuss the challenges and opportunities that open up when releasing music as a church worship team. 

ABOUT BRETT:
Brett Perkins is a songwriter and worship leader from rural West TN. Growing up, sports and outdoors is all he knew, but over time music became a passion. For the past 10 years, Brett has traveled the country leading worship at various camps, events, and churches. In a world where truth is relative and clarity is (seemingly) absent, Brett has given his life to writing and leading clear truth for people to cling to and proclaim. Brett is the founding member of the band, Journey Worship Co, and serves as the worship pastor at The Journey Church in Lebanon, TN, where he lives with his wife, Megan, and three boys - Keaten, Griffey, and Louis.
