What if the pressure to sound like the biggest worship churches in the world is actually working against your congregation?

In this episode I sit down with Kelsey McGinnis, writer for Christianity Today, professor at Grand View University, and musicologist who studies worship culture from a genuinely unique outside perspective. We talk about the history of worship music, why we're all a little timestamped by the music that first moved us, the real cost of chasing excellence over obedience, and why writing songs for your own church might be one of the most powerful things you can do.

This one is full of honest conversation and real hope for anyone who leads music in the church.

Called to Music. For everyone God called to music.
