Today’s guest is no stranger to worship music. So very honored to welcome Chris Tomlin to the Beyond Sunday podcast. Chris and I were able to catch up in the middle of his Love Ran Red tour with Rend Collective & Tenth Avenue North.

Chris has seen tremendous success as a songwriter and an artist, but remains a kind, genuine, down-to-earth guy. In this interview we talk about his family life, writing worship songs, the Love Ran Red tour, his beginnings as a worship leader, & how to stay fresh and focused in ministry.

Enjoy!

If you’re confused on how to use MultiTracks, you don’t need expensive, crazy software. Just check out their amazing iPad app called Playback. This past weekend we ran our entire worship set using the app and it was a beautiful, seamless experience.
