Do We Love Music More Than Jesus? with Bob Kauflin Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

We are so excited to kick off Season 3 of The Worship & Technology Podcast with this conversation on why Music is Great, but Jesus is Greater with Bob Kauflin! Author of Worship Matters and True Worshipers, and pastor at Sovereign Grace Ministries since 1985, Bob remind us to live in the good of what we’re singing about; to intuit what is happening in the souls of one’s congregation. Rather than focusing on the technical nuances of worship, he encourages us to focus on what we can do to encourage the clear vision of the work and the words of Christ. We think this conversation that Kristian accurately describes as a master class very convicting. Listen everywhere!

Kristian says this message is so powerful because Bob is so musical. Calls this episode a master class.

Bob Kauflin is a pastor, composer, speaker, writer, and the director of Sovereign Grace Music, a ministry of Sovereign Grace Churches. He serves as an elder at Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville and has written two books: Worship Matters and True Worshipers. You’ll find him occasionally blogging at www.WorshipMatters.com.

She also talks about the process behind “Believe For It” - the transcending title track from her new live album. Chris Baker states the simple, powerful truth about CeCe: “There is something that is synonymous with CeCe Winans and that is the presence of God.” The entire Believe For It project is available on our site: https://www.multitracks.com/songs/CeCe-Winans/Believe-For-It/

JJ Hairston Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

We’re so excited to kick off Black History Month 2021 with this conversation between Chris Baker and JJ Hairston.

Chris and JJ talk about how artists wanting to echo what’s popular is an epidemic in the music industry today, and that being excited about your unique identity yields more longevity than chasing what’s popular.

JJ also encourages all of us that even in this long season of waiting, we’re all still growing and we’ll be even more prepared for the next season because we’ve faced such a long moment of not having our typical comfort crutches to lean on. | For more on JJ Hairston visit: https://www.jjhairston.com/ | Find us @multitracks + @multitracksgospel // multitracks.com

JJ Hairston's "Great Jehovah" is also our Play of the Week this week! Download our app Playback to access the song for free all week.

Pat Barrett Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Pat Barrett (@patbarrett) comes on the podcast to break down the songs on his upcoming album and the place they came from. He talks about how the success of “Good Good Father” was one of the truest examples of the notion that someone else can be helped in their faith journey by something you’ve personally walked through, how “true religion is camera shy,” and how resisting the incentive of being overly performative with our prayer and worship may seem counter-intuitive in this day and age but is so crucial.

Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly is coming February 26th. Check out this episode for an intimate deep dive into the songs and their inspiration! | For more on Pat Barrett visit: http://www.patbarrettmusic.com/ | Find us @multitracks // multitracks.com
