I’m not defined by a role. Roles are seasonal. Who I am is a worshiper.” – Henry Seeley
It’s amazing what happens when a willing soul steps out and takes God at His Word. I love the story of Henry & Alex Seeley. Rooted in Melbourne, Australia, Henry was a worship leader, songwriter, producer, and mixer with Planetshakers.
But a few years ago, they moved across the world to Nashville, TN. And as you’ll hear in the interview, accidentally planted a church – The Belonging. In this chat we go behind the scenes of what God is doing at The Belonging. But we also talk about music, mixing, gear, leading worship, and balancing family & ministry.
Enjoy!

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.

Hi, Thanks for this podcast
I really like the part where they talked about planning and how they approach their services.
I think this is something that most people should always consider and take sometime to do before services.
thanks once again for this and have a nice day
