We talk about music—singable, simple, congregatonal, appropriate music for public worship in the church—with Sean and Sarah Morris, a pastor and a pianist who are both well-trained and actively engaged in the life and ministry of a local church. You are bound to find something of interest if church music interests you at all...which it must do if you're a Christian! We look at a new Getty song and we talk about how church music got to where it is today and about the commercialization and commodification of Christian music.

Evangelical taxonomy, political angst, PCA polling, un-civil culture wars and...the place of humor in the Bible, the Christian life and personal sanity—that's pretty much all we talked about with friends Dr. DG Hart of Hillsdale College and Stephen Spinnenweber, pastor of Westminster PCA in Jacksonville, FL.
