We The Kingdom is Capitol CMG’s newest signing and features producers and songwriters Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, NeedToBreathe, Bethel Music), Scott Cash, Franni Rae Cash, Martin Cash and Andrew Bergthold. “The heart of We The Kingdom is to create music that candidly tells how God reached into the middle of our brokenness, and drew us into His story of redemption . . . Our heart’s desire is to see captives set free, relationships restored, and people brought to the Cross. We pray that God would sew the thread of His promises through the stories of each song we write, and weave together a tapestry that points straight to the great love of Jesus.” The members of We The kingdom have been involved behind-the-scenes in songs that have been sung around the world, and now they are ready to tell their own story firsthand. Don’t miss this powerful episode as we talk about how to take our worship deeper and how to lead and write music from a place of vulnerability.

Tune in to episode 96 as we sit down with Aaron Shust to talk about the power of infusing scripture into your songwriting. Aaron Shust is an incredible writer, artist, and worship leader and was named the Songwriter of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards of 2007, and his song, "My Savior My God", received the Song of the Year award. Aaron's life calling as a Christian Artist and especially a worship leader is to point to Jesus. Scripture, Scripture-infused lyrics, lyrics that spotlight God's characteristics…these are exponentially more important than a jaw-dropping vocal or instrumental performance. One is far more vital than the other.  If you need inspiration for writing lyrics or encouragement in your ministry, this episode is for you!  Also, be sure to check out Aaron Shust's newest Album "Nothing to Fear"!  Don’t miss it! --- If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

This week, we are honored to be joined by Josh Kluge (worship director for Oral Roberts University) to talk about what it actually looks like to bring heaven to earth through our worship. "The only way the agenda of Heaven moves forward purely and fully is if I’m surrendered and dependent on You.”  -Josh Kluge There are moments during every worship set where we have a choice; to stick with what we know will work or follow wherever the Holy Spirit is leading. In episode 95, Josh Kluge shares how he has been able to train his worship team to be comfortable with spontaneity and how much God has used them to impact the spiritual atmosphere of their campus.

At Oral Roberts Univerity, a huge part of the student experience is the culture of worship. ORU has a primary worship team called ORU LIVE who leads the campus multiple times a week in chapels, who travels domestically and internationally all throughout the school year, as well as write and record songs that are anthems for the University and all around the world. Students that are a part of the ORU LIVE primary team receive full-tuition scholarships and one of the coolest parts about this is you do not have to be a music major to participate on this team. If that sounds like something you’d want to be a part of, 4 times a year ORU has what’s called “Quest Leadership Weekend” for prospective students to come to the University for a weekend to get a feel for what ORU is all about and to apply for other additional scholarship opportunities.

Why are so many church leaders abandoning their faith? In episode 94, we are honored to be joined by singer/songwriter Andrew Ehrenzeller to speak on one of the most pressing issues facing the Church today. So often we put our own expectations on church leadership, so much so that it’s impossible for any leader to make everyone happy. Listen in as we discuss what really causes this breakdown, and what we need to start doing to change Christian culture. Listen in! --- If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

We’re so excited to be back from our fall break with some really exciting episodes! This week’s guest is an incredible worship leader, pastor and songwriter. He is currently a part of Vertical Worship and serves as the worship pastor for Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago. In episode 93, we are laying the groundwork for church’s and worship teams who may have thought about writing an album, but have no idea where to start. Songwriting is already such a personal process, so bringing in different people, ideas, and opinions often leads to tension. Jake France comes into this episode with loads of wisdom and couldn’t be a better person to speak on this topic. Listen in as Jake breaks down the golden rules of songwriting and how to actually make the dream of finishing an album a reality.

What are the dos and don’ts of prophecy? In episode 92, we are honored to be joined by Emmy Rose from Bethel Music to talk about how to utilize the gift of prophecy in a healthy way. Emmy was nurtured within the Bethel Music family for several years, working with Kalley Heiligenthal, Brian Johnson and a host of others. Throughout her journey, she has held on to a theme of purity and intimacy alongside a sense-filled impetus that there is always more and it has to be real. Prophecy in itself is a journey. It takes time and practice. It takes courage and being okay with getting it wrong sometimes. Throughout this episode, we share our personal experiences with prophecy, the good, and the bad. We talk about how approach someone if you believe you have a word from them, how to respond when you receive a word from someone else, and how to be confident in the gifts Holy Spirit gives you.

This week we could not be more excited to be sitting down with Jared Runion & Emily Wyant of Local Sound! Founded and led by Jared Runion, the band grew out of the Nashville, Tennessee, college and young adult ministry MyLocal615. Local Sound lives and breathes to support the work of the local church and the lives of young adults by spreading the Gospel through relevant, inspiring and message-driven songs that express the joy found in a life fully devoted to Christ. “We fully back God's dream for The Local Church and we believe that God designed the local church as ‘plan A’—to immerse the world in His culture. We were never intended to be the products of temporary culture… we were made to be distributors of an eternal one.” - Jared Runion  In episode 90, we talk about why there seems to be a rapid disinterest in God among the youth, how to honor past and future leadership, separating the message from the method, and how to actually find true internal freedom through gratitude. I can’t say enough about the amount of wisdom that is packed into this episode, so be sure to listen and share this episode with anyone who needs it!

It’s not uncommon to hear Coldplay played in soundcheck at church or to hear comments such as “That part sounds just like Coldplay, I love it,” or “Coldplay is life,” throughout the week.  My guess is that if you are a worship musician reading this, there is a good chance that you like Coldplay…and you should because they are a great band!  So, then what’s the problem?  Well, with Coldplay, absolutely nothing. All they have done is stay true to themselves and continue evolving with each record.  Our perspective and digestion? That’s a different story.   In episode 89, Brenton Miles, Jordan Holt and Libby Lewis share their feedback on Coldplay and their effect on modern worship. Has it helped, or hurt the progression of modern worship? Listen in now to join the conversation! ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!
