As part of a research paper she wrote for her school in Canada, Anneli Loepp Thiessen uncovered some interesting results on the top of women in worship music. The results showed that women have actually had less influence on the writing of today's worship songs than they did in the 1980s and 1990s. We gathered a group of women together to discuss this in a panel format together with Anneli. First, Krissy interviews the researcher and then there are questions and commentary from our panel of female songwriters. Join the Brave Community and get involved!

I wanted to share with you my heart for the writing side of things this year with Brave Worship. As many of you have probably seen. I launched a course last year called The Worship Songwriter Mentorship. The purpose for the course was actually birthed out of Brave Worship - out of a need for creating a foundation for us to all have in common as we come together to write. I think that's so important.So much so, that I want to use the course as our foundation moving forward with Brave Worship songwriters. So, this year we're going to be relaunching the course. The new course is now live and we’ll be starting group small groups the week of February 16th. We would love to have you be a part of it. If you're able to take the course and small group, then you will have some other opportunities… This year, on April 26, we're going to be doing a Brave Worship Writing Day. Those that have completed the course will be invited to come in and take part in that day together. And, we're intentionally establishing a songwriting community.And, then later this year, we are going to be doing a Songwriting Missions Trip to Ireland with Ray Hughes. That will be September 13th through the 23rd. In order to go on that trip, you're going to need to have taken this course. Not only just for writing purposes, which is part of it, but we're also going to be taking the course to local worship pastors and writers there. We’re going to need some facilitators to be teaching it.So, I hope all of this sounds good to you. I can't wait to do more with you this year as songwriters.

Our first full episode of the year, and what better way than to share an excellent conversation with the most wonderful Krissy Nordhoff. Recording on Halloween (!), we learn about her faith background, her songwriting mentors, and her wonderful worship ministry, Brave Worship. Make sure to check out her songwriting quiz and worship songwriting course.Speaking of the songwriting quiz, Joe took and discovered he's a Content writer. Don't know that that means? Well, take the test and you'll learn about each of the 7 Songwriter Personality Types.

“One thing I always feared is what if this is the last song I ever write, or what if this is the last good idea I ever have, and that’s a lie from the enemy. You’re always going to write another song, and that’s how you should approach co-writes and rewrites and new versions of songs.” This week on The Song Revolution Podcast, John sat down with professional songwriter and worship leader, Krissy Nordhoff. Krissy is a writer for Integrity Music, a 3 time Dove Award Nominee, and writer of the dynamic worship song, Your Great Name.

In the episode, Krissy shares about this program being birthed from her own desire to have a mentor to help her navigate the music industry and her personal life. “There are several different purposes for songs. Sometimes we just see we want our songs to reach the whole entire world, but that might not be what the Lord has in mind. It might be a song to bless Him, or a song to bless you personally, or something you want to give as a gift.” - - - - - - - - - [SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT] Are you a worship songwriter ready to go deeper in your calling and learn how to write worship songs the world would love to sing from the co-writer of the hit worship song, Your Great Name?

For twenty years, Ohio native, Matt Hammitt, was the lead singer and songwriter for Dove Award-winning two time Grammy-nominated band Sanctus Real. During that time, the band released eight albums under Sparrow Records, toured internationally and released 14 Top 5 and #1 singles to Christian radio, making the band a household name among Christian music fans worldwide.Authored by Matt, Sanctus Real's most recognized hit, “Lead Me,” has resonated with men, women, and families all over the world. However, what most people don't recognize, is the great irony behind the song itself. "Lead Me," the very song that catapulted the band to the heights of their success, was also the song that would play a major part in Matt's twenty-year career as their front-man coming to an end. As crowds of thousands echoed the words "Don't want to leave them hungry for love, chasing things that I could give up" Matt was deeply convicted that it was time for him to start singing those words less and living them more. Matt made the difficult decision to step away from the band. In February, 2016, Matt played his final show with Sanctus Real. The emotions behind Matt's decision to leave his former band is penned into the opening track of his self-titled album, "Heaven Knows." Throughout the album, Matt takes on the difficulties of stepping out of a familiar and comfortable place to follow Jesus, who often calls us to do difficult things for our ultimate good. Blind trust, or simply put, faith, is a thread that's woven throughout all ten tracks of Matt's new album. Matt has been married to his wife Sarah for sixteen years, and together they have four children. Birthed from his own struggles, one of Matt's greatest passions has become ministering to broken families. In 2010, Matt's son, Bowen, was born with a rare and severe heart disease. Through the pain of caring for a sick child, Matt and Sarah faced some very difficult years of marriage. Out of their experience, Matt and Sarah, started two organizations that mister to families today. Whole Hearts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides financial, emotional and spiritual support for families of children living with pediatric heart disease. In 2016, Matt and Sarah also launched "Lead Me Live" men's conferences, aimed at encouraging and equipping men to become great spiritual leaders in their home. In 2016, Matt partnered with Full Circle Music and producer Seth Mosley to begin work on a new album which is slated to release in November 2017. “Tears”, the first radio single, broke into the Billboard Christian Airplay Top 50 chart within two weeks of its debut. His current single, “He Always Wins” is a worship anthem that is quickly being sung in churches around the globe. Additionally, Matt is writing a book about the themes of Lead Me and will release in late 2018.

Krissy appeared on The Worship Podcast recently. We share her conversation with Dustin Smith and James Galbraith here. They discuss women's roles as leaders in church - the struggles, challenges and solutions. A great conversation was started today. More to come...

As crowds of thousands echoed the words "Don't want to leave them hungry for love, chasing things that I could give up" Matt was deeply convicted that it was time for him to start singing those words less and living them more. Matt made the difficult decision to step away from the band. In February, 2016, Matt played his final show with Sanctus Real. The emotions behind Matt's decision to leave his former band is penned into the opening track of his self-titled album, "Heaven Knows." Throughout the album, Matt takes on the difficulties of stepping out of a familiar and comfortable place to follow Jesus, who often calls us to do difficult things for our ultimate good. Blind trust, or simply put, faith, is a thread that's woven throughout all ten tracks of Matt's new album. Matt has been married to his wife Sarah for sixteen years, and together they have four children. Birthed from his own struggles, one of Matt's greatest passions has become ministering to broken families. In 2010, Matt's son, Bowen, was born with a rare and severe heart disease. Through the pain of caring for a sick child, Matt and Sarah faced some very difficult years of marriage. Out of their experience, Matt and Sarah, started two organizations that mister to families today. Whole Hearts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides financial, emotional and spiritual support for families of children living with pediatric heart disease. In 2016, Matt and Sarah also launched "Lead Me Live" men's conferences, aimed at encouraging and equipping men to become great spiritual leaders in their home. In 2016, Matt partnered with Full Circle Music and producer Seth Mosley to begin work on a new album which is slated to release in November 2017. “Tears”, the first radio single, broke into the Billboard Christian Airplay Top 50 chart within two weeks of its debut. His current single, “He Always Wins” is a worship anthem that is quickly being sung in churches around the globe. Additionally, Matt is writing a book about the themes of Lead Me and will release in late 2018.

On today's podcast, we wanted to cover a very important topic. It's forefront in our culture, yes, but it's also important in the church, too. Specifically, in worship and songwriting.  That topic is ... women in ministry.  We here at The Worship Podcast (All About Worship & WeAreWorship) completely affirm and believe in the ability, anointing and commission of women to minister to the church body, and of course, to others around them. In a way, it's strange to even feel the need to type that sentence.  But as society and culture is starting to have some real confusion and controversy over this gender topic, we believe as Christians we should lead the way in freedom!  We should set the example in empowerment, equal contribution in the Kingdom of God and a general attitude of preferring one another. Now, this is a huge topic!  So we wanted to sit down with someone who is making a real difference in this world.  Her name is Krissy Nordhoff.  She leads a ministry called "Brave Worship".  She's also an accomplished songwriter, anointed worship leader, wife, mother, and lucky for us, a friend of The Worship Podcast ministry!  It doesn't matter what "side of the aisle" you believe you are on when it comes to this topic - we can all benefit from having genuine conversation and even more important, listening.   Find out more about Brave Worship and make sure to check out their podcast, as well! And oh yeah, last (and certainly least in this case), Dustin & James don't mince words about their travels to India ... stomach issues and all.  Enjoy! -------- The Worship Podcast is powered by All About Worship (Dustin Smith & James Galbraith) and WeAreWorship (Wisdom Moon & Morgan Shirey).
