It’s a good day for any musician when you can chat with a world-class, Grammy winning producer & songwriter. Seth Mosley is that guy, based in Nashville, TN. Last year, Seth won 4 Dove Awards, including producer and songwriter of the year.

To put it simply, he knows his stuff.

Seth has become the go-to producer for a ton of Christian music records. He also runs a production company called Full Circle Music.

I loved this interview. We talk about personal development, why artists need to think like entrepreneurs, songwriting, producing, and more.

Enjoy!

If you love the spotlight more than the secret place, you’re in trouble because it means you care more about pleasing people than pleasing God.” – Banning Liebscher

It’s quotes like this that make my conversation with Banning Liebscher so powerful. Banning is the founder & pastor of Jesus Culture. Jesus Culture began as a youth ministry at Bethel Church in Redding. 3 years ago Banning and his team moved to plant Jesus Culture Sacramento.

Banning is a visionary and a pastor at heart. We talk about his new book Rooted, the process of God, basketball, parenting, ministry, discipleship, and so much more.

Don’t miss this one, friends!

My role is to identify leaders who are very comfortable identifying other leaders and create space for them to access ministry.” – John Cassetto

I love conversations with worship pastors. Especially those who are more interested in raising others up over doing their own ministry. This is John Cassetto, Global Worship Pastor at Saddleback Church.

This interview covers a lot of ground. Consider it a field trip, a tour of how a successful worship ministry is run. From auditions, to vision, to songwriting, to discipleship, to potted succulents (yep), this interview has it all.

No one has it all figured out but one of the most effective things you can do is learn from those who are further down the road of ministry.

Enjoy!

I needed to resist the urge to get up on stage and do my own thing. I really needed to learn the craft of what others were doing.” – Jeffrey Kunde

Got to love sitting down and talking music. That’s exactly what Jeffrey Kunde and I did. Jeffrey is the lead guitarist for Jesus Culture as well as a session guitarist for other artists. He’s also the author of 3 practical workbooks for musicians, Music Theory for the Music Industry, Train Your Ear, and How I Play Guitar.

This conversation is all about how Jeffrey sees music, writes music, and approaches the guitar. So many nuggets to take away here, not only for guitar players, but all musicians alike.

We talk about going through the motions as if it’s a bad thing. But what if the motions are right?” – Ryan Flanigan

Ryan Flanigan is a worship leader in an Anglican Church. But he didn’t start there. Matter of fact, he was born Catholic, raised Charismatic, and educated Evanglical. All 3 of these streams now come together to form Ryan’s theology and his ministry.

And I think we all have a lot to learn from his experience.

We talk about the strengths of each stream, the benefit of going through the motions, the sacrament, and why worship leaders need to lighten up.

Maybe a bit controversial, but most definitely challenging, stirring, and educational.
