#57: How This Couple Wrote & Recorded Their First Worship Album From Scratch [Podcast]

3404680446_edd198c96a_zWith no label to back them up, and no massive budget to make it happen, Jordan & Kristin Rippy decided to record their first worship album.

Which is exactly why I love this story.

They didn’t wait for permission. They didn’t wait for an angelic visitation. They stepped out in faith and pursued their dream.

The end result?

A really fantastic EP of fresh, well-written, passionately delivered worship songs. Jordan & Kristin have a gift and I’m ecstatic they’re sharing it with the world.

In this podcast, we talk about the heart of the album and the step by step details of how they used Kickstarter, hired a producer, finished their songs, and saw their dream come to pass.

My hope is that this conversation would encourage you in pursuing your creative dream.

Scripture of the Week

Psalm 57:7-11

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody!

Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!    Let your glory be over all the earth!

    Ron and I were ministering yesterday at the church where Jordan and Kristin lead worship in Lakeland, FL. They did a great job and are really nice people!! Imagine how surprised I was when I googled them, and your blog came up, David! I guess everyone in the church world is only a few degrees removed from everyone else:-)
