Worship Podcast & Blog
How does an obscure, little-known artist rise to the top of the indie music scene?
How does a low budget recording with a guy hand plucking an acoustic guitar seemingly take over the world?
Enter the world of Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon). You may or may not love his music. You may not “get it”. You may wonder what all the hype is. But this guy has risen to the forefront of modern music.
Young worship leader, they love you. They really do. They just hate your music.
They love Jesus. They love their church. They just can’t adjust to your sounds. To you, it’s fresh and inspiring. To them, it’s ear plug worthy.
Stages. Lights. Leadership. Influence.
All of these things tempt us to think we’re the cat’s pajamas – to think we’re all that.

Today I have the privilege of featuring the incredible music of Shane & Shane.
They have graciously agreed to give away 3 downloads of their newest album, The One You Need. At the end of this post are instructions on how to snag a free copy.
This is particularly awesome because the album doesn’t release until October 4.

It happens to all of us.
There are seasons of abundance and seasons of draught – moments of creative brilliance and moments of creative sucking.
