Matt Redman is one of my favorite worship leaders for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that he always speaks truth to where we are now. Blessed Be Your Name was written in the wake of 9/11. The Heart of Worship at the height of worship music’s mainstream appeal. With Let There Be Wonder, he sings truth from a place of humility in a self-centered culture. 

Jason asks Daniel about the rash of odd pictures he's been receiving from him and the guys discuss their favorite worship songs this year.

If you've listened to the Worship Artistry Podcast you know we're not super big on tech, but we also realize there is a place for it. Matt McCoy, founder of Loop Community really puts the emphasis on the community part so we thought he'd be great to get some tech thoughts on. Jason and Daniel discuss serial killer ministries and rogue social media drummers. Yeah, it's that kind of episode.

“There’s something about vulnerability that unlocks us as humans and makes us more like Jesus.”

We weren’t sure what to expect from Sean Curran. Kristian Stanfill described him as a “Wild Stallion” and when I asked him what makes him so wild he responded “I guess I just scream a little more.” What unfolded next was one of my favorite discussions yet.

A simple question about his worship leading history took up nearly the entire interview. Not because he is so full of himself, but because he isn’t. We discussed an intense season of his life that felt “kissed by God” and what it was like for that season to end. We talked about burning bright and fast and what it means to follow Christ and lead worship for the long haul. We discussed praying through song and what it’s like to take that gift out of the secret place and share it with the body of Christ.
