🎯 Topics include the "3 Whys of Worship," the pitfalls of lazy writing, the concept writer’s role, and what it means to “shepherd your people” through sound.

Whether you're building a worship set, co-writing, or wondering why some songs feel disjointed mid-service, this episode is your permission slip to be a Song Snob for the sake of your congregation.
