Ep 250: Jeff Deyo & Chad Gentry on Rediscovering the Heart of Worship Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

Topic: The 90s Worship Revival

Guests: Jeff Deyo is a worship leader, author, and former lead singer of Sonicflood—the groundbreaking worship band that helped spark a global movement of modern praise music in the late 1990s. He continues to serve as a pastor, recording artist, and passionate voice for purity and intimacy in worship. Chad Gentry is a worship leader, producer, and co-founder of 90s Worship Night—a movement, record label, and docuseries celebrating the sound, spirit, and legacy of worship from the 1990s.

The 1990s were a defining moment for worship. Songs like I Could Sing of Your Love Forever and Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble became anthems that led millions into God’s presence with passion and authenticity. In this inspiring conversation, Jeff and Chad share how God is reigniting that same fire in today’s generation through the 90s Worship Night movement.

Drawing from their experiences with Sonicflood, Brownsville Revival, and years of ministry, Jeff and Chad reflect on what made that season so special—simple songs, surrendered hearts, and a genuine hunger for God’s presence. They share stories behind the music, the legacy of worship pioneers, and how this new movement is inviting believers to return to the heart of worship once again.

You’ll be encouraged to move from performance to presence, from routine to renewal, and to rediscover the beauty of worshiping God with childlike faith and awe.
