The Vineyard Worship movement has been so special to me over the years. It’s one of the primary reasons I write songs and lead worship today.

It was special getting to catch up with Casey Corum who has been a part of the Vineyard movement for a lot of years. He’s a wonderful songwriter, worship leader, producer, and creative director.

We ramble a bit on this one, but in the best possible way. We talk about physical health, Vineyard Music history, creativity, staying fresh, and more.

Enjoy!

I haven’t done many in person interviews as part of the Beyond Sunday podcast. Most have been over a Skype, FaceTime or phone call. But that’s about to change.

A couple weeks ago my wife and I headed down to the Grand O’l Opry in Nashville to cover the 2019 K-Love fan awards. It was such a treat to interview a number of artists in person.

This is part 1 of those conversations and we have Josh Baldwin, Mark Hall, & Michael Cochren on the show today. A great balance of local church, songwriting, and ministry. Enjoy!

Never practice the things you already know. Always be working on something that’s a little too hard for you.”

Leonard Jones

When I was in middle school I came across some CDs that changed my view of worship. I listened to Passion, Tim Hughes, Matt Redman, and Delirious. But I also listened to some albums from Morningstar Ministries. The albums were full of spontaneous, 30 minute songs. Incredible musicians. Some weird stuff. But I loved it.

One of the worship leaders was Leonard Jones. For 50 years Leonard has been serving in worship ministry, not only leading worship but raising up the next generation of worship leaders at Morningstar. Many of the well-known worship leaders you know were trained under Leonard.

And I love that he’s sharing his wisdom on the podcast. One of my desires with this podcast is to get a broad view of the worship community and learn from the best in different streams – from catholic to charismatic and back.

Prepare to be challenged…
