Episode Details

In every generation, people lament the power of bad music but complaining never changed a culture. Scripture shows us that music is meant to be a vital ministry: Levitical musicians were supported by the tithe, exempt from taxes, and even honoured by kings, while the early church sang its theology into the hearts of believers. From the Psalms to Bach, God’s people have always been the world’s greatest patrons of music until we stopped valuing it. Today’s musical decay, inside and outside the church, simply reflects that neglect. In this episode, we explore why it’s time for Christians to recover the ministry of music and once again “sing a new song unto the Lord.”
