Customer Reviews
Songwriting inspiration
Brett does a great job of getting the writer to explain their songwriting process. I have been inspired to start writing my own Jesus songs again which I haven’t done in 30 years. Thank you for this podcast!
Love Hearing the Stories!
It’s amazing to hear the stories behind these church songs. It is also great to hear the heart of the writers too.
The only not great part of the podcast is Brett saying “yep”, “ yeah” “right” while the guest is talking
This podcast gives me life!!
I am new into worship and am currently in musical ministry and I just love listening to the testimonies and journeys that are told in these episodes. We need more podcasts like this!! I’m so excited to hear the next episode. Thank you to the people who are making this podcast and sharing their stories!
