Such an honor to welcome Stu Garrard back to the podcast. Stu is an amazing guitarist (known for his work with Delirious), songwriter, and artist. In this conversation we pull back the curtain of his latest project, The Beatitudes.
An incredible project, consisting of an album, a book, and a documentary is all about Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Collaborating with top Christian artists Michael W Smith, Martin Smith, John Mark McMillan, Amy Grant, Hillsong United, Propaganda, All Sons & Daughters, Amanda Cook, & more, this is not to be missed.

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.
