Episode notes

The chapter discusses how worship music can evoke emotions and capture realities that are challenging to express in words. It highlights the impact of technology on the live worship music experience and emphasizes the significant role music plays in both Jewish and Christian worship traditions. The speakers delve into the concept of worship music as a way to understand the world and stress the importance of engaging with God through music on a personal level.

Host Curtis Chang and Good Faith contributor Andy Crouch strike a chord in their exploration of the dynamics of modern Christian worship music. Their conversation covers the ways that average Christians are becoming limited in their singing abilities, the concert-like performance style of worship leaders in our sanctuaries, and the commercial influence of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). Curtis and Andy contend a musical reformation in the worship lives of believers is needed urgently today, and offer some practical tips on how to get started.
