I’ve wanted to bring Gabriel Wilson on the podcast for a while.
When it comes to connecting relentless creativity with the heart of God, I can’t think of a better guy to talk to.
Gabriel Wilson is the mastermind behind the bands The Rock & Roll Worship Circus and The Listening, as well as a worship leader and producer for Bethel Music. Most recently, he is the producer of Bethel’s newest studio album, Tides.
In this interview we talk about the Tides album, along with some songwriting, worship leading, gear collecting, and music production.

Love this interview David and Gabe! Such insightful stories and encouraging advice. So, being a non-recovering gearhead myself .. a few thoughts –
1. David – keep the Rhodes
2. Tears over the black Gretch story
3. Gabe – would you sell me your 1176 ?
“God, move my heart so that it moves Yours. Amen”
Man it was great to hear this. I’ve had the pleasure of leading with Gabe @theobjective (https://www.facebook.com/TheObjectiveMovement) and he is the real deal. I’m telling the critic inside to “shut it” today- back to writing! Killer interview David.
Thanks Jerimae! The Objective Movement looks awesome!
