Worship Podcast
There’s something about Pat Barrett’s voice and songs that have a re-centering effect – they call us to focus on what matters. Listening to his music makes me want to pick up the pen and write with a similar honesty, depth, and melodic sensibility.
A lot has happened since Pat was on the show a few years ago. We talk about life transition, new songs, memes, instagram accounts, worship leading, and more.
Enjoy!
Sometimes I wonder how the people who walk through the greatest sorrow have the most joy. And then I’m reminded that’s how God works. He’s faithful. He’s good. He doesn’t promise the road will be easy but He promises to satisfy our souls.
This is the story of Alisa Turner, a true fighter who has weathered so many storms and lived to sing about it. Her new record Miracle Or Not is a beautiful testament to God’s faithfulness.
In this interview we talk about all she’s gone through, the new record, cows (yes), and the goodness of God. If you’re feeling lost, alone, or without hope (or walking with someone who is), this is for you.
Enjoy!
There is no junior Holy Spirit. The same God that is the God of the adults is the God of the youth.” – Fred Vassallo
It was a treat to welcome Fred Vassallo on the podcast this week. Fred is the Creative Director of Bright Ones, the youth & kids extension of Bethel Music.
As a hip hop choreographer and dance instructor, he knows a lot about vision, creativity, and empowering young people.
To be honest, all my kids want to listen to his Bethel Kids. I’ll try to make them listen to my music, but still all they want…is Bethel Kids. Which is saying a lot. Fred has captured something special here. And the creativity is only beginning.
I am a fan of cheap breakfast. I am not a fan of the gourmet, 16 doller, grass-fed french toast.” – Jen Ledger
God doesn’t want you to write songs to bless the Church, he wants you to write songs to spend time with you.” – Andi Rozier
I love Andi Rozier and what he has built with Vertical Worship. Vertical is an extension of the worship ministry at Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago and for years, Andi has lead the charge.
His team leads so strong and writes some of the best songs for the church. This is a reflection on Andi and his leadership. He empowers others. He loves the church. He pastors. He loves people. This is what is needed out of our worship pastors. We can’t just have a passion for writing songs and making music. We need to love the people.
And Andi challenges us in this interview where we discuss leading a team, gaining momentum, writing songs, and more.
Enjoy!
