MALCOLM

I am so excited for you to meet this week’s guest: Malcolm du Plessis. He’s the real deal: humble, deep, challenging, and wise. Malcolm is a friend/consultant for some of the biggest names in Christian Music and a leader in the music industry.

This is such an important conversation. Malcolm and I take an honest look at where modern worship is and what we can do better. Get ready to be challenged on a whole new level.

    words of wisdom and focus, challenging and so insightful. we musicians are difficulty caught in the web of presentation/performance and sincerity/vulnerability/transparency that, until we are able to evidence the humility that increases and glorifies Christ in all we do, we will not “take others on a journey” as He would have us. not at all that we are a roadblock to Him; evidence the numerous times our plans fell apart and He picked up all the shattered pieces and dwelt with us, comforting and guiding us as He had intended all along. thank you, david, once again for offering yet another journey. blessings, <m

    one more thing. 3 days without comment should not be taken in an ominous manner, necessarily. praise to God that those who hear are listening in their souls as well as their minds!

    Great interview. It’s one of the few I want to listen to a few times to really chew on the ideas. David you have truly been a blessing through your podcast.

    Hi David! I really enjoyed this podcast. As one of the not ultra-talented of this world, it was a blessing to be reminded that it is not up to me. “Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand, not by our human endeavor, but by the blood of the lamb…” as the song goes. The idea of loving and encouraging our church family and offering hospitality to them, of inviting them to join us in worshiping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords because He is our all…this is our true and humble calling. Thank-you for the work you are doing to encourage and equip us. To God be the glory.
