After three years, my new album, The Work Vol 2, is available TODAY!
Worship music can sometimes feel like disconnected songs about disconnected ideas. This stubbornly hopeful record is anything but that. It has been a labour of love, collaboration, and real life lived.
Hey Ontario! Excited for this full-band show (with some familiar faces from @TheCityHarmonic ) on April 13th in Listowel. Be there or be square, or something.

I was invited to share a talk at @churchfront last Fall, looking under the hood of the business of #Worship music. It's now on YouTube. Enjoy!

It’s a niche journal, and it took almost two years to get published, but IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

Latest @worshipresearch article just dropped, and it’s one of the angles from our survey that hit me most closely in the chest. As one respondent said:

Launching a new thing on the photo/video/clock apps tomorrow. Should be fun. It is dummer than most things I do.

I just learned that an A.I. music reviewer associated my song 'Carry' with #Skyrim. Somehow, I've never felt more seen.
"This song has me feeling like I'm in a gaming trance. "I wanna play Skyrim," I said.

Had a great time at @gmacanada Covenant Awards. Congrats to all, and thanks for sending me home with 'Male Vocalist of the Year' and 'Rock Artist of the Year.' To quote my favourite album review from @thecityharmonic years, "kids have never rocked out so hard to music so soft."
If you've had any nagging questions about @worshipresearch - ask away! I'll do my best in the coming days to answer as many as I can (and pull in teammates from time to time). #worshipmusic #worshipleader
To quote the great Western philosopher, T.Swift: "It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me." Look, we grapple with serious issues. But as we approach each other to solve them, we must come with humility, love and mercy, or we're fooling ourselves. This is a song about that.

Worship leaders choose streaming over radio, shaping Christian music powerfully. But does it matter? We examine attitudes towards new song discovery and reveal how tech and the persistent preferences of 'Becky' may still guide the Sunday songbook.

🚨NEW🚨 Worship Leaders report they are more likely to consider a song heard via streaming than radio, but does Becky have her toe on the algorithmic scales?

I haven't played in my hometown since 2017 and you made coming home such a wild joy for me. It's GOOD to be back, #HamOnt ! What an incredible couple of nights supporting my friends in @rendcollective at @RedeemerUniv!

#worshipleaders: Why do YOU think that “experiencing” or “participating” in a song via a live setting (conference, church, etc) renders you more likely to want to lead that song yourself? – at Moncton, New Brunswick

Important survey results via @marcjolicoeur et al:
"Though survey respondents report that CCLI charts do not play a significant part in finding new songs...when looking for musical resources, [it] undoubtedly does impact brand affiliation and user choice."worshipleaderresearch.com/ra…

The work that @Tapper1Mike @adam_a_perez et al have done will factor into the talk I'm giving at the @matt_redman-conceived Worth/Th conference that I'm speaking at this week. Why do lament songs struggle to break into Top 100 CCLI lists. This is why.

Start the morning with the Lord’s Prayer
