One Righteous Man is one of my favorites off of Red Letter’s self titled album. The band is led by Pastor Joel Brown of Mars Hill Seattle. The record is full of incredible tunes, most in an alt-rock vein that you don’t hear in worship music much, but that’s to be expected coming out of [...]

Worship leaders, don’t chase your mountaintop experience
by Kyle on August 3, 2010 in church, video, worship
I can’t tell you how much the below Driscoll clip resonated with me. I’ve seen up close the destruction that in sues from this idolatrous seeking of some great past experience, some great moment in the church where God moved in a powerful way. The church and it’s leaders become fixated on how to get [...]

by Kyle on May 13, 2010 in Backtracks and Loops, worship
I’ve heard this song quite a few times, but never like I heard it on Mars Hill’s Good Friday service. I heard the words in a new way, the arrangement was incredibly moving and I was broken. I probably listened to it 100 times for the next couple weeks. It really is one of the [...]

Loop available: “The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote
by Kyle on November 5, 2009 in audio, Backtracks and Loops, Podcast, worship
Over the past couple years my heart has really been moved towards re-arranging hymns, due in large part to the influence of Mars Hill’s worship leaders but also due to a conviction on singing theologically rich lyrics. One of my favorite hymns is “The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote. I’ve done a couple versions of [...]
