Episode notes

Exploring the influence of concert performance elements on church practices, including loud music, dark rooms, and in-ear devices, and the need for a more inclusive and connected worship experience. The discussion delves into the shift towards a commercialized worship culture in Christian churches.

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.
