#144: Kristian Stanfill On The Passion Movement, Leading Worship, & Fighting For Songs [Podcast]

I hear a lot of people talk about relevance. But I would prefer to be timeless. Jesus is timeless. The cross is timeless. The Gospel is timeless. You don’t have to worry about being relevant when you hold the cross up.” – Kristian Stanfill

I’m so excited to share this chat with Kristian Stanfill – Kristian is a worship leader at Passion City Church and leads the Passion Band alongside Melodie Malone & Brett Youngker. I’ve been such a fan of Passion over the years. I remember the early CDs – Better is One Day, The Road to One Day – wearing those out like it was my job.

Passion music has helped me live for the glory of God. And that’s what Kristian and I discuss. We talk highlights of Passion 2017 – the songs, the students, the movement. Seriously – this will get you fired up.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by Coresound. Coresound is an amazing new company that provides pad loops for your worship services.

What are pad loops, you may say? Essentially, it’s like the best keyboard sound or guitar swell you’ve ever heard, sitting underneath your live worship team. It’s helps to create a beautiful, patient atmosphere for your worship team and fill out the sound.

They’re a great investment if you have a smaller worship team or if you have a large team but want to create a bigger sound and improve your transitions. We’ve used them quite a bit at my church. We’ve actually done a two piece setup with me on a guitar, pad loops, and a drum pad and it sounds HUGE. And of all the pads I’ve tried, Coresound are the best sounding. By far.

I have the Deluxe bundle which comes with 6 different sounding pads in all 12 keys. It’s amazing because you literally have an arsenal of versatility for your worship team. Load them up on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and you’re good to go. Whatever you play within the key of the pad loop sounds amazing, and each pad lasts for about 20 minutes.

So here’s the deal: head on over to coresoundpads.com and use the promo code “beyondsunday” and get yourself 20% off any purchase.

Songwriters, ask God to breathe on your songs. That’s the difference maker. You can write great songs but when God breathes on something, He brings it to life and sends it to places you could never send it on your own.” – Kristian Stanfill
