In this episode we talk with Chris from Brothers McClurg about the heart of selecting music for our church. Some topics covered:
- How every church will have it’s own unique needs for worship.
- The desire to sound just like the recordings of bigger worship ministries and the struggle that can cause.
- The need for songs in our sets that cause thought for our congregation.
- How it is ok to do stripped down sets and music.
- Starting the service with something more contemplative than a big uptempo one.
- The art and craft of set building. The importance of understanding who will be at the service and what they’ll need to sing.
- How to maintain our spiritual walk with God.
- Writing for our congregation or writing in emulation of others.
- The importance of relationship with your senior pastor.
- Encouragement for new worship leaders.
- The place of hymns in our sets.
- The need to connect our congregations to the truth of what they’re singing.
