I guess Caleb has all the friends. We get to talk to another one of his buds, this time from his young adults years. Scott S has a really eclectic story of growing up on the west cost in an Asian Christian community that has translated to a multi-cultural church experience.

We wrap up our music series and our conversation with Josh and Eric about where Christian music is at today. There's been a ton of change over time for this industry and finding Christians making music and writing about their Christian experience isn't as easy as it used to be. But there are some very goods out there so listen to find out all about them! Twitter: @SurvivedYG ISurvivedYouthGroup@gmail.com...
We continue with our music series with a discussion about where Christian music is at today. Our first episode with new friends of the pod Eric & Josh establishes their journey through 90s youth group and how it shaped their love of music. The conversation then moves to modern non-worship Christian music and what that market is like today. Twitter: @SurvivedYG ISurvivedYouthGroup@gmail.com...
Caleb and Scott and Tim continue their conversation about worship music and talk about its history, the meaning it has for the church today and lastly what it means for our kids to worship in church spaces. How often theologically when we sing corporately? As someone who has edited and updated old hymns for modern worship, Tim has some great insight into worship music as a whole. Twitter: @SurvivedYG ISurvivedYouthGroup@gmail.com...
Part 4 of our Music Series takes a quick break from a specific music discussion to introduce our very good friend Tim J. He served as a worship pastor at a church in downtown Minneapolis so this is a introduction to our discussion about worship music. Part 2 will dive heavily into that topic while Part 1 serves as an introduction to Tim and his story. Twitter: @SurvivedYG ISurvivedYouthGroup@gmail.com...
This is Part 2 of our summary of our Christian music experience. Go listen to part 1 if you have not - this will make much more sense! This episode focuses mainly on why the 90s Christian music industry was unique and what it still means for us today. Twitter: @SurvivedYG ISurvivedYouthGroup@gmail.com
