And, on today's episode, we share an interview from our Writing Club with Jaime Jamgochian. Sitting down to talk with Jaime, you quickly realize she is a woman of faith who God is using in many different ways through her music and message. It's immediately evident she has a passion to see people know how much God loves them and a desire to see that reality change their lives—because it has changed hers. Jaime came to know the Lord at 21 while studying music at Berklee College of Music in Boston. God completely changed her life and it is her greatest desire to see people encounter Jesus in a real way. From Boston, Jaime ended up in Seattle where she was a worship leader for several years and began writing her own worship songs. It was during that time in Seattle that Jaime signed with Centricity Records and went on to record 3 albums with them. She then moved to Nashville, TN which she still calls home, and continues to travel throughout the US and internationally leading people in worship, singing songs of hope, and sharing a message of finding your value and purpose in Christ.Take the Songwriter Personality TestThis simple 10-minute test created by our founder, Krissy Nordhoff, will help you know your strengths as a songwriter and it will also help you better identify where you fit in the co-writing room.

BRAVE Worship - For Women in Church Leadership, Music and Songwriting
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!

Courage Cast - Faith, Encouragement and Motivation for Today
"I’ve heard a lot of people say now is the time to ramp things up creatively. Some days I’ve felt like I should be doing more. But actually, I believe God is calling me to do less. And it’s beautiful." - Krissy NordhoffMy better half joins me for this episode. As a professional songwriter in the Nashville Christian music community, Krissy has been wrestling with her busyness lately. She posted something this morning that I've been wrestling with too.

Welcome to the WorshipWorkshop Podcast where we help you grow a stronger team that leads engaging worship. Today we are talking about songwriting for the church, and we have an amazing guest to teach and inspire us. This season, we have focused on how to engage your congregation—and we've hit this theme from a lot different angles and topics. Today, we're continuing that theme, but now centering it around writing original songs that will engage your congregation. So to do that, I got the privilege to do a fantastic interview with a master songwriter who has a heart to create new songs for the church to sing. She's won a Dove Award for song of the year, has written songs sung by a whole list of artists and worship leaders that you know, and she is actively mentoring and building up local church songwriters. I know you're going to enjoy this conversation with Krissy Nordhoff.

On today's podcast, we're sitting down with some powerful women in the faith - Krissy Nordhoff and Amanda Blankenship. We're talking about an important subject for church leaders in general, but especially Worship Leaders, the motivation of ministry. Enjoy!

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.
