SDG Music Radio
There’s a war in our churches between modern and traditional music, but the question is this: Can we creatively integrate the best of both worlds to bring the body of Christ together and glorify God more fully?
Join us on this podcast as Christians from various stands share their voice in a joint effort to develop new creative arrangements and compositions that can enrich worship and empower evangelism.
Through interviews with artists and church leaders and the host's own discoveries, learn about the theology and reason that can guide us toward this goal as each episode takes us closer to creating a practical book and course on the topic to equip the church. ... and lots of new beautiful and empowering Christian music.
