Ep. 7 - Bob Fitts: Leading Worship in Divided Times

Join me as I interview a very special guest, Bob Fitts. As an Integrity/Maranatha artist, Bob is part of the early wave of worship music that took the church by storm back in the 80's with popular songs like  The Lord Reigns, He Will Come and Save You, Let Your Glory Fall in This Place, and many more. One thing I know for sure is we need fathers in the faith like Bob Fitts and I am so grateful for him to share his wisdom with us for this week's episode.  Find out more at bobfitts.com [bobfitts.com] Get early access to worshipwiththeword.com [worshipwiththeword.com] by signing up now!

Ep. 6 - King of Kings: Do You Know the Apostles Creed?

One of the most common things I hear about worship music is that people don’t connect when songs have too many words in them. Whether you agree or not - this song fulfills the way-too-long-song perfectly and still we sing it. Why? It’s got a ton of theology in it. And for that very reason we find ourselves doing it. We're talking about the song King of Kings by Hillsong Worship and how powerful the creeds of the church are.

Ep. 5 - Forgettable Worship: Choosing Songs with Purpose

In reflecting on last week's inquiry about popular songs, Trent explores the forgettable nature of chart-climbing tunes by Phil Wickham and Cody Carnes, humorously entertaining the idea of ChatGPT's involvement, advocating for a shift to repeating "legacy songs" over weeks to deepen congregation familiarity, emphasizing the importance of eye contact and lyric memorization for worship leaders, and urging the integration of scripture into the worship experience.
