Christians and their worship music. A topic upon which people find little agreement.
For today’s post, I wanted to update a years-old conversation on worship songs and (oftentimes bad) theology. This post (from three-and-a-half years ago) still gets more views during a month than most of my other posts. People definitely care about their songs. Many conversations about worship music focus on style (while an easier conversation to have, that conversation can often produce shallow results because it focuses largely on preference). However, worship songs are conduits of truth. (And the preacher in me knows that people remember songs much more than they remember sermons. Maybe I should sing my sermons.)
In this week’s podcast, Dale and I are joined by two other family members—Evan Godbold and Kevin Bowles (both worship pastors)—to discuss worship songs and theology. You also get to see the new podcast artwork (which is much better than the old podcast artwork, no offense to Dale):
In this episode you’ll hear:
- How these two worship pastors evaluate the songs that make it into their worship services
- What types of songs these two pastors don’t use because they have confusing and/or bad theology
- Some of the confusing lines in certain worship songs and how they’re evaluated
- Some of their go-to songs because of the rich theology they carry (spoiler alert: this song, this song, and this song make the cut)
- Numerous jokes that only we think are funny
