TODDCASTING PODCAST

Should we "pick or pass" on songs based on who makes them? Or does the song stand alone? How much time should we invest in the theology of the creators of these songs we use in church?

In this episode, I tell you what I think about this issue, but more importantly, I hope you'll take this podcast as an encouragement to think seriously about these issues. You don't have to think like me, but you do have to THINK. Period.

"What makes a good melody" is an argument songwriters have been having for years. And so we're probably not gonna' solve that long-running riddle on our little podcast. But we can answer your questions!

The idea for this show came from one of our listeners who asked, "What if we're not good at melody? How do we get better?" It's a great question and if you're wondering the same thing, I hope this episode will encourage you.

This week's episode is brief, but hopefully it will encourage you to think about what your ministry actually is. Are you a singer? Are you a set-maker? And is it possible that real value of your job is more than just the stuff you do on a Sunday morning?

Last in our series (for now) about writing songs for congregational singing. Enjoy!

Three very practical tips to build singability. (Okay...the first two are good, but the third tip is a little hard to get a handle on.) But don't give up! You can write songs that your congregation will WANT to sing!

First in a three-part series on writing songs that are easily learned and sung by your congregation. This episode focuses on some general concepts when it comes to songwriting for the local church.
