This episode attempts to bridge the gap between the high church theology guys and the worship praise band leader, both of whom claim to be pursuing the same thing with their choice of musical instruments.

Most people don't tend to think about how the instruments are to be applied to congregational worship--or how they are designed. Here we'll dive into that and see how we might then tackle the problem of what style we should have in worship.

In an entire evangelical world which claims to attain "Congregational Worship," what does it even mean anymore? Is there some difference between a church that has mastered it versus a church which hasn't?

Announcement! Our album is now published on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and pretty much any other music distribution platform. Or you can buy a CD directly from us at worshipreformation.com/albums.

Hope you enjoy!

"The modern style is too complex!" is potentially a valid argument against the modern evangelical worship style, but it lacks the understanding that "complex" is neither bad, nor is it lacking in many of the old hymns we enjoy.

My wife and I have started to record Psalms and hymns! It is our family's mission to enable the church to more easily sing Psalms and hymns to four part harmonies. If you'd like to see more of these, please consider subscribing and supporting our work.Cantus Christi number 554 "How Lovely Shines the Morning Star!" was written in 1599 by Philip Nicolai. He composed both the lyrics and the tune, which is set to a rather unique meter--887.887.22.44.48. We had a lot of fun recording it, and we hope you enjoy listening.

"Why can't we sing any of the old hymns?" can be heard amongst the older generation within many modern churches. But dig a little further, and you'll realize that the definition of "old" needs some work.

One of the most common objections people have about the modern or contemporary style of worship music is how loud the band can get. But is this a Biblical way of thinking? Is it actually the problem?
