Podcasts about Church music

A new worship song starts on Sunday and suddenly the room feels split: some people light up, others shut down. We get it. Church music is personal, tied to memory, tradition, and the way we learned to worship. Today we step back from debating styles and ask a better question: how do we stay together as Christians when our preferences differ?We share a gem from Billy Graham's spiritual advice column, where he responds to a church member who wants to complain about “new songs” in the service. His guidance is simple but tough to live out: ask God to help you be grateful for all music that points people to Christ, whether it is a classic hymn, contemporary Christian worship, gospel, or another style. You may not connect with every song, but someone else might, and God can use it to encourage them and draw them closer to Jesus.We would love to hear your comments.

Part 1 of David Stonestreet's story sees us learn how he grew up Catholic, attended mass every Sunday, and knew the Bible had always been there, he just hadn't really read it. Then in Year 11, he and a friend started flipping through the New Testament over landline phone calls from Gosford to the North Shore, pointing each other to verses they were finding for the first time. What they were stumbling into, David now knows, was the Holy Spirit at work.In Part 1 of his Chip Lunch conversation, David — musician, music teacher, and early Soul Revival adjacent — takes Joel and Brayden through his faith journey. From a charismatic Catholic youth group to a pseudo-Christian cult that nearly swallowed him whole, to sitting alone in his bedroom in Gosford and finally understanding what it meant to be born again without losing himself, David's story is rich, honest, and full of unexpected turns.Along the way there's a Central Coast childhood of dam swims, dragster bikes, and neighbourhood cricket; four Catholic schools; a detour through electrical engineering before music teaching won out; and a serious reckoning with what it actually costs to walk away from a strong cultural and family faith to follow Jesus somewhere new.David also breaks down the difference between playing what's written and playing around the chords, and why that distinction matters.

What is worship actually meant to be? In this conversation, Pastor Nate sits down with Bethany's Director of Music, Rick Seaton, to talk about the role music plays in shaping faith, community, and the experience of worship. Together, they explore the depth of Lutheran musical tradition, the tension between old and new, and why worship is about something far deeper than personal preference. This is a fun conversation with two people who truly appreciate the power music can play in your life. What You'll Learn:Why music has always been central to the life of faithWhat makes worship feel grounded, meaningful, and aliveThe role of tradition in shaping how we experience GodWhy participation matters more than preferenceHow churches can think differently about worship todayChapters: 00:00 Why this conversation took 6 years to happen 01:00 Rick's journey into church music 03:00 Why Lutherans have such a strong musical tradition 06:00 Why churches don't create music like they used to 09:00 Why variety in worship actually matters 11:00 Contemporary vs. traditional worship 13:00 Why people are returning to deeper practices 17:00 Why quality and intention matter in worship 20:00 What churches should focus on moving forward 26:00 What music is really meant to do 27:00 A powerful Good Friday reflection 31:00 Why music has always been part of faith 34:00 The importance of singing together 36:00 Creating new music for the church 38:00 Final thoughts on worship and creativityAnd if you're in the Denver area join Rick for the Get Outta Here Postludes Concert at Bethany Lutheran Church, May 1st at 7pm!

In this message, Pastor Karl wraps up the church's three-week study of Matthew 12 — what he calls the hinge point of Jesus's ministry and of all human history. Drawing from verses 40 through 50, he unpacks three powerful moments that reveal the heart of what Jesus was communicating to a resistant generation.Pastor Karl begins with Jesus's references to Jonah and the Queen of Sheba, showing how Jesus used these figures to slam the door on the demand for endless proof. The issue, he argues, was never a lack of evidence — it was a lack of surrender. Unbelief isn't intellectual; it's volitional.From there, Pastor Karl digs into one of the most misunderstood passages in Matthew: the parable of the empty house. When an unclean spirit returns to find a swept but empty home, it brings seven more spirits worse than itself. Jesus's point is sobering — moral reform without spiritual transformation is a setup for collapse. Cleaning up your life in your own strength, without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, leaves you more vulnerable than before, not less.Finally, Pastor Karl addresses Jesus's surprising response to his own family, and what it reveals about who truly belongs to the family of God. It isn't inherited proximity or religious familiarity — it's submission and obedience to the Father.This episode is a challenge and an encouragement: stop trying to clean the house on your own. The victorious life Jesus offers isn't just about forgiveness — it's about being filled and clothed in the power of the Holy Spirit.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

What if talent isn’t enough—and never really has been? In this Small Town Soapbox, Darien tackles a quiet truth many people notice but few say out loud: the music industry often values image over raw vocal power. From small-town churches in North Georgia to the polished world of professional music, Darien contrasts authenticity with marketability, asking why voices that move the soul don’t always get the spotlight. It’s a heartfelt reflection on talent, beauty standards, and why real voices—paired with real people—leave the deepest mark.

From the Zion Sings LP by the venerable Zion Missionary Baptist Church of East Chicago, Indiana, comes this moving and reverent version of the spiritual, “The Old Ship of Zion.”

How did contemporary praise and worship develop—and who is shaping what the church sings today? In this episode, Loren talks with Kelsey McGinnis to explore the evolution of modern worship, the lingering effects of the “worship wars,” and the growing influence of the worship industry on local congregations. They discuss how large-scale production and publishing networks shape song selection and theology, the unseen pressures facing worship leaders, and what healthy support actually looks like in a local church. The conversation also revisits the hymns versus modern worship debate, the renewed interest in liturgy, and whether lament, silence, and stillness have space in contemporary services. This episode offers a thoughtful, grounded look at how what we sing forms what we believe—and how churches might lead worship more intentionally in the years ahead. Together they explore: The rise of contemporary praise and worship How the worship industry shapes theology and song selection The pressures facing today's worship leaders Hymns, liturgy, and the place of lament Whether secular songs belong in church Kelsey McGinnis is the worship correspondent for Christianity Today. She holds a PhD in musicology and teaches music and theology at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, and writes broadly on Christian music and the intersection of American Christianity and popular culture. Kelsey is a coauthor of the book The Myth of Good Christian Parenting and the author of a forthcoming book about Christian diet and wellness culture.  She lives in central Iowa with her husband and three children.   Mentioned Resources:

Exploring a 1949 article C. S. Lewis wrote, "On Church Music," in which he tackles the ongoing argument about musical style and quality in church and concludes that the best worship is when we dislike the style but sing anyway because our fellow brothers and sisters seem to be edified by it, for true worship is sacrifice. We include pieces from "Correspondence with an Anglican who Dislikes Hymns" (1946) and Lewis' review of The Oxford Book of Christian Verse (1940, published in Image and Imagination).

"Every single workshop I give is all about excellence, singing well, singing properly, and achieving the very best we can achieve. Why do we it? We don't do it because we'll be paid millions and millions of pounds. It's not cash-motivated. We do it because there is a higher purpose, a higher calling that makes us do it. I got offered a graduate scheme at university, so I could have been a corporate sellout. I'd probably arguably work less hours than I do in music, but I didn't do that. I don't have any regrets, because on an evening, I go home, I look myself in the mirror, and I can say to myself, 'we did some good stuff today.'"Caius Lee began as a chorister at Bradford Cathedral at 11 and became the Cathedral Organ Scholar at 15. At age 17, he joined Leeds Cathedral, concurrently holding the Idlewild Conducting Scholarship and Cathedral Organ Scholarship, and was appointed Assistant Organist a year later, where he was the Diocesean Organist & Director of Music for the Lourdes annual pilgrimage and he studied Music as the Neville Burston Organ Scholar at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge. While at the university, he founded the Florence International Singing Programme, which holds several courses yearly and has sung at prestigious churches, including Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Saint Sulpice, Florence Cathedral, and the Vatican. For the Addamus Choral Programme Caius Lee conducts the internationally acclaimed College Choir and Boys' Choir as well as The Jericho Youth Choir and the All Sorts Community Choir. He is also responsible for a wide range of collegiate, community, and outreach initiatives, curating Music at Worcester College at the University of Oxford, including The Oxford Choral Experience, a groundbreaking instrument learning scheme, and guest lecturer as part of Institute of Sacred Music run by the University, St Stephen's House, and The Royal School of Church Music. He has worked with choirs, festivals and played solo recitals in Europe, Asia and South America. Caius's musical journey is marked by numerous collaborations that have enriched his work and excited audiences. He has conducted, played, and sang on BBC Radio (1, 2, 3 & 4), and made numerous TV appearances on BBC's Songs of Praise, and live Christmas and Easter TV broadcasts on BBC1.

Peter Rosenberger host to talk worship music—traditional vs. modern, sacred vs. loud, and where songs like Skillet's intense "O Come O Come Emmanuel" fit in today's church. What should worship sound like, and does it still unite us?

What does healthy, joyful, word-shaped congregational singing look like in a culture obsessed with self-expression?We are shaped more than we realise by the culture around us. And today one of the most powerful cultural forces pressing on our churches is expressive individualism — the idea that the authentic self must be expressed and affirmed.But what happens when this cultural air we breathe seeps into our church music? When sincerity becomes more important than truth, when the band is excellent yet the congregation is silent, and when singing shifts from “we proclaim Christ together” to “I express what I feel”?If we do not address this, we risk disengaged congregations, weakened church identity and a missed opportunity for deep spiritual formation that comes as we sing God's word to one another.Alanna Glover — longtime church music leader, former member of Garage Hymnal, ten years with Emu Music, songwriter, trainer and theologian — has just completed significant research on expressive individualism and congregational singing in evangelical churches.

From his days growing up in rural Indiana, to teaching middle school English, to meeting Gloria and writing the songs we're all still singing, Bill Gaither put his stamp on gospel music. And at 89 he's not done yet!

In this epsiode, Duffey is joined again by Andrew Pressley for a discussion on the history of music throughout the ages. This is epsiode Part 2 of a 2-part series and considers the music of the Protestant Reformation up to the Modern era. This episode is aimed offering a wide-angle lens on church music history and seeks to provide awareness of the presence of vast differences of style and tradition. They seek to navigate the difficult conversation of what kind of music is appropriate in church settings? How have Christians thought about this issue in the past? How are we today informed by our current cultural millue regarding the conversation surrounding church music?

The Three Persons of Church Music // Bro. Aaron Baker by Central Baptist Church

In this epsiode, Duffey is joined by Andrew Pressley for a discussion on the history of music throughout the ages. This is epsiode Part 1 and considers the music of the Early Church and into the Middle Ages (the Medieval Church). On this epsiode, they try to address questions and common concerns like: How can God's people today think well about the music of the church? How can we think well about form and style of music in the church? How can we think better about instrumentation and accompaniment in church music today? Should we use instruments in worship services? If so, which ones? Should we sing in unison or with harmonies? Should we sing together (congregationally) or rely upon professionals to do the singing for us? All of these questions, and many more, have been asked since the time of the Apostles and the first century and will continue to be asked as long as the church remains. Tune in for a (hopefully) informative conversation!

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I get to reconnect with my good friend and former colleague, Brock Derringer. Brock and I shared a lot of time on stage, in the pit, and the music department at Wesleyan School, and it was a blast to sit down and dig into his story.We start with Brock's roots in small-town Thomasville, Georgia, a place with an unexpectedly rich arts scene, and trace his journey from a 10-year-old piano student to becoming a versatile musician and educator. He shares about his musical family, the influential teachers who shaped him, and how early church gigs prepared him for a lifetime of accompanying, leading, and creating music.Brock talks about his love of teaching, the decision to move from performance into music education, and his current work at Stillwell School of the Arts in Atlanta, where he teaches AP Music Theory and piano. We get into the challenges and changes in music education over the last two decades, the role (and limits) of technology in the classroom, and how he keeps evolving his teaching methods to meet students where they are today.Of course, we reminisce about our time collaborating on musicals, choir projects, and the legendary “Sing-Off” events, including unforgettable Beatles and Billy Joel performances that brought students and faculty to their feet. Along the way, we swap thoughts on musical influences, Billy Joel, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, and the importance of process over product in mastering any craft.This conversation is part reunion, part masterclass, and part trip down memory lane. Brock's passion for music and dedication to his students are contagious, and I left this talk reminded of why making and teaching music matter so much.Thank you for listening!

“Start with the way that you structure your rehearsal, your classroom, your feedback. In terms of feedback, we talk about not giving people more than three pieces of information to work on. Working memory is affected by ADHD in particular. ‘Here's what you're doing well, here's what you can improve on, here's how you can improve it.' That structure helps with their ability to anticipate what you're going to say and quickly implement that into their own music making.”Dr. Peter Haley serves as Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music at Ohio University, where he conducts the Ohio University Singers and Singing Men of Ohio and teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in conducting, choral literature, and music education. He previously spent seven years as a high school choir director in North Carolina where his students were consistently chosen for honor choirs on the local, state, and regional level, while being immersed in a program that stressed collaborative music-making and artistic excellence.Dr. Haley's research interests include pedagogy for neurodivergent learners in the choral rehearsal, and Arvo Pärt's sacred choral music. He has been invited to present at state and regional ACDA and MEA conferences and served as a clinician or adjudicator in Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina. He has served as a pastoral musician for Baptist, Presbyterian, Reformed Jewish, and United Methodist congregations and held leadership roles on the Executive Board of the Presbyterian Association of Musicians and the Southern Region Conference of the American Choral Directors Association.Dr. Haley holds the Doctor of Musical Arts in Conducting from the University of South Carolina, as well as a B.A. in Music from Wingate University and an M.M. in Church Music from Samford University.

Donald Macleod investigates the life of a Renaissance genius, Giovanni da PalestrinaGiovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525-1594) was one of the most influential composers in European classical music. With his countless masses, motets and madrigals, infused with a deep sense of spirituality and musical beauty, Palestrina was named the 'Saviour of Church Music' at a revolutionary time when Rome was rewriting the rules of music composition. But what do we know about this mysterious character, between historical fact and hagiographic myth? Donald Macleod follows the clues, to try and reconstruct the story of a fascinating composer, on the (approximately) 500th anniversary of his birth.Music Featured: Sicut cervus Laudate pueri Pueri hebraeorum (arr for dobro) Puer qui natus est Missa Assumpta est Maria (excerpt) Josquin des Prez: O virgo prudentissima Josquin des Prez: Fortuna d'un gran tempo Costanzo Festa: Sancta Maria succurre miseris Sacred Madrigals, Book 2, Città di Dio Ricercar del primo tuono Magnificat Primi toni Missa Ecce sacerdos magnus (Sanctus) Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui Pulchra es, amica mea (arr Volbers for recorder ensemble) Missa Papae Marcelli (excerpt) Vergine bella… Vergine saggia… Vestiva i colli Sabbato Sancto: Lectio III, Incipit oratio Ieremiae prophetae Motecta festorum totius anni cum Communi Sanctorum – liber primus Misso Herodes Nicola Vicentino: Jerusalem convertere Cristóbal de Morales: Gaude et laetare, Ferrariensis civitas Motecta festorum totius anni cum Communi Sanctorum (Fuit homo missus a Deo) Missa Papae Marcelli (Sanctus) Ricercar del secondo tuono Missa sine nomine a 6 arr Johann Sebastian Bach L'homme armé (exceprt) Adoramus te Christe arr Leopold Stokowski for orchestra O admirabile commercium Missa Ut re mi fa sol la (excerpt) Io son ferito (instrumental version) Missa Brevis (excerpt) Canite tuba (arr for brass ensemble) Deh hor foss'io col vago della luna (on a text by Petrarch) Offertoria totius anni (Jubilate Deo) arr A.

n this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Colossians 3:16–17, exploring the essential role of singing in Christian worship. They discuss how singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is both a command and a spiritual discipline for believers, emphasizing its importance in teaching gospel truths and fostering mutual edification within the body of Christ. Singing is not merely an individual act of worship but a communal practice that unites the church in shared faith and gratitude. The hosts reflect on the transformative power of music in worship, emphasizing its role in shaping Christian character and relationships. They explore how singing serves as a means of mutual instruction, allowing believers to proclaim gospel truths to one another while glorifying God. Jesse and Tony also highlight the need for congregants, particularly men, to actively participate in worship through singing, modeling obedience and devotion for their families and fellow believers. Additionally, the conversation touches on how the act of singing transcends generational and cultural boundaries, bringing together believers of all ages and backgrounds. The hosts underscore the unique power of music to unite the church, deepen spiritual formation, and prepare hearts for eternal worship around the throne of God. Key Points: The Command to Sing Singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is a biblical command for all believers, rooted in passages like Colossians 3:16–17 and Ephesians 5. This act of worship is not optional but central to the Christian life. Singing as Mutual Instruction Worship through singing serves as a means of teaching and admonishing one another in gospel truths. It is a communal act that fosters spiritual growth and unity among believers. The Role of Men in Worship Jesse and Tony discuss the importance of men leading by example in worship, particularly through singing, to encourage their families and the congregation to participate wholeheartedly. Music's Power to Unite and Transform Singing in worship transcends individual preferences and abilities, uniting believers of all ages and backgrounds in a shared expression of faith and gratitude to God. Practical Encouragement for Worship Participation The hosts encourage listeners to prioritize singing in both corporate worship and family settings, reminding them that even imperfect voices glorify God and edify the church. Questions for Reflection: How does your personal approach to singing in worship align with the biblical command to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs? In what ways can congregational singing foster unity and mutual edification in your church? How can you encourage those around you, especially within your family, to participate in worship through singing? What steps can you take to incorporate doctrinally sound music into your daily life and family worship?

You've probably heard Caleb Martin's music somewhere on TV. I met Caleb in our music community through Shin Kawasaki, whose music you hear every week on Chapel Probation. But I had no idea Caleb had an evangelical background until just the past couple of years when we started chatting on IG about religious trauma. And I'm glad we did chat because it gave me the perfect excuse to talk to him, someone I've admired for the past 10 years or so. The admiration I have for such a fine musician and composer is still there, but now I also admire Caleb for his courage to come out of high control religion and forge a life of music and community outside.
