Review: Beautiful Things by Gungor
February 16, 2010
The Live Experience
Every once in a while a person gets to experience what will soon be known as a pivotal moment in the history of music and art. I believe that I have experienced this. It might never happen again in my lifetime, but as I sat mesmerized by the haunting and beautiful lyrical artistry painted by Michael and Lisa Gungor, I knew in my heart of hearts that this was something greater than I had ever experienced before.
Few times in my life have I ever been blown away, let alone Read more
Countryman Earclips: The Positive & The Negative
February 16, 2010
At SSCC we have been using & loving our E6(i) ear sets for years now. We bought our first one 8 years ago I think (I was the youth pastor then). However, we have recently been hampered by them not wanting to sit still on people’s heads. I think this is mainly a result of multiple people using the headsets and having to reshape them, the earpiece especially, every time. (I know that keeping them seperate for different communicators would help this but it is not an option overall for us. We have 18 earsets and 30 or so people that use them.) I saw an earclip accessory in a magazine a couple of weeks ago and ran it by our pastor and we decided we needed to check one out. We used it this Sunday morning and loved almost everything about it.

CD REVIEW: Kyle Jones – ALIVE
January 18, 2010
Kyle Jones
ALIVE
Independent
Someone told me about a year ago that one of the “new” youth pastors in town also led worship, but our community has an abundance of gifted worship leaders, so I paid him little attention. As his debut full-length c.d. shows, that was a huge mistake.
5 of the Best Christmas Songs You’ve Never Heard
December 17, 2009
Well, it’s that time of year again and I know that many of you are swimming in last-minute choir rehearsals and church presentations. So, in the spirit of a little respite, I thought I’d share with you some lesser-known songs you won’t likely be singing in your church this Sunday, but nonetheless are some of my personal favorites.
Review of GLORY IN THE HIGHEST- Chris Tomlin
December 1, 2009
I just love Christmas. Really, I do. Except for the few months following the holiday season, I could literally listen to Christmas music for hours. (In fact I annoy everyone in my office by starting to play Christmas music on July 3rd!) That being said, I have anticipated this album’s release since February when my friends from Nashville wrote about their experience in recording this live album with Chris. Most of their comments were so powerful and exciting that I knew something special was waiting in this release.

It Might Get Loud, So Watch Your Tone
October 8, 2009
As I write this, my wife Leslie Brooke is driving us down the most boring stretch of highway east of the Mississippi, I-16 between Savannah and Macon, with Pearl Jam’s new album Backslider cranked up. Two things are going through my mind as I listen to it:
