Beyond Sunday Worship Leader Podcast #193: Crowder on Shaking Up the Creative Process, Holy Ghost Songs, & Airplane Conversations [Podcast]
A conversation with Crowder is equal parts hilarious and riveting. For the last 18 years, he has written songs that have helped us connect with God, while pushing the limits of creativity. His new record I Know a Ghost is no different.
I think it could be the best album from a Christian artist this year. But I’ll leave that up to the professionals.
This interview was so much fun. We talk about the creative process, rediscovering the heart of songwriting, coloring books (again), and more.
Enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by the Pads Live app from Coresound Pads.
Coresound Pads are my favorite pad loops on the market. If you’re looking for a way to raise the quality and sound of your worship team, this is probably the easiest way to do that.
And Coresound now has a powerful, easy-to-use pads-player app called PADS LIVE that helps you transform your worship service’s atmosphere INSTANTLY by downloading and playing their top-rated pad loops on the fly from your mobile device. This is an POWERFUL tool for worship leaders at any-size church.
If you go to PadsLive.com, you can link to download the app for FREE, which also comes with all of Coresound’s Pads in the key of D for free. You can let the pads loop infinitely, crossfade gently into the next pad or into silence, and build songs & playlists. And when you’re ready to unlock all 12 keys instead of just the key of D, you can purchase and download those pads directly within the app.
Now the app doesn’t take promo codes, BUT if you buy a Pads Bundle online from Coresound and use the promo code BEYONDSUNDAY, you’ll get an additional 20% off your purchase. And your online purchase WILL unlock those very same pads within the app, as well as let you download the 20-minute MP3s to use the pads elsewhere.
