Greetings, wonderful folks! Welcome back to Song Revolution. Today's episode is a special treat as we're joined by the incredible Phil Joel and his equally amazing wife, Heather Joel. Now, you probably know Phil as the enduring force behind the Christian rock band, Newsboys. But here's the scoop—his talents extend far beyond music.

We've got something truly unique for you in this episode, recorded live on the grounds of Joel's latest venture. Enter The Green Room, a haven of eco-friendliness and sustainable living nestled right in the heart of downtown Franklin, Tennessee.

While Phil is no stranger to rocking the stage, he's also rocking the world of home essentials. The Green Room is not your average department store; it's a testament to the couple's commitment to environmental consciousness. Phil, a fervent advocate, urges believers and all Earth-dwellers alike to cherish, protect, and preserve the divine gift of creation.

Drawing inspiration from biblical teachings, the Joels see themselves as stewards of God's creation, and that ethos is beautifully reflected in the way they live and the Green Room they've birthed.

Now, picture this: A one-stop-shop for all things home all about sustainability and comfort. From cozy linens to ambient candles, energy-efficient home appliances to soulful music records, and even delicious snacks and beverages—all with a story and an earth-friendly twist. It's a breath of fresh air for those who believe in making a positive impact with their choices.

And hey, if you happen to find yourself in the greater Nashville area, make sure to swing by the Green Room. Trust me; it's an experience you won't want to miss.

But wait, there's more! Phil spills the beans on his latest musical endeavor—a captivating album titled "A New Heaven and A New Earth," featuring his soul-stirring song, "Arms Around The World." Get ready to dive into the sounds of inspiration.

So, kick back, relax, and immerse yourself in this fantastic episode. The Song Revolution continues, and the melody of positive change is in the air. Enjoy!

📌 CALLED TO WRITE FOR THE KINGDOM Workshop - June 10, 2023 https://ncssongwriters.kartra.com/page/kingdom

Welcome to the Song Revolution podcast! In today's episode, we dive into what it takes to grow in your calling as a worship songwriter. Stepping deeper into your calling as a Christian songwriter requires prayer, self-assessment, and action. By seeking God's guidance, honing your skills, and actively pursuing your passion, you can embark on a fulfilling journey of creating music that touches lives and brings glory to God. Here are three key steps to help you dive into your calling as a Christian songwriter:

• Seek God's guidance: Take time to pray and ask God about your specific mission as a songwriter. Discover who He has called you to reach and the message He wants you to convey through your songs. Understand your target audience, their musical preferences, and where they consume music, in order to create songs that resonate with them.

• Assess your talent and musicality: Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in writing lyrics, melodies, or playing musical instruments. Identify areas where you need improvement and consider investing in training and education to enhance your songwriting skills. Remember that passion and desire are essential, and with dedication and commitment, you can develop your craft.

• Take action: Don't wait for inspiration to strike; actively engage in the process of songwriting. Start by writing new songs, recording demos, or seeking opportunities to perform or collaborate with other musicians. Trust that as you take steps forward, God will guide and direct your path, opening doors and revealing new opportunities along the way. Embrace the journey and be proactive in pursuing your calling as a Christian songwriter.

Our mission here is to help you show up in the world as your most creative and productive self, and today's episode is no different.

I had the privilege of sitting down recently with Todd Smith, Amy Perry, and Allen Hall, the members of Christian music's beloved group, Selah. In this special episode, we discuss their 25 years of making great music, the release of their two new albums, and their recent experience of processing grief over the loss of a close friend.

Since their debut album, Selah has become one of the most beloved groups in Christian music with over 4 million records sold and more than 750 million streams. Their timeless hymns and original songs have been woven into the fabric of our worship experience over the last two decades.

In this episode, we delve deep into the music industry and the real lives of these talented individuals. We talk about their recent album releases, Greatest Hymns Volume 3 and At This Table, their performances at iconic venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Ryman Auditorium, and their personal experiences of grief and loss.

So sit back, relax, and join me in this special conversation with Todd, Amy, and Allen of Selah. If you enjoy this podcast, please like and share it with your friends and family. Together, let's spread the love of Jesus through the power of music.

Hey, folks! I've got an amazing guest on the show - the one and only Justin Warren! 

He's a talented artist and worship leader from North Carolina who's been opening for some of the biggest names in the industry, like Rhett Walker, JJ Weeks, and Mercy Me - just to name a few! With over a million streams on his music, he's definitely making some waves in the scene, and I can't wait to see what he does next.

In our chat, Justin talks about how he almost walked away from everything in his young married life, but with God's help, he was able to restore his marriage and his heart for God. And let me tell you, this guy is as real as it gets - he's the son of a preacher man, a husband of 15 years, and a proud dad of two sons (with a third on the way!). Juggling a busy ministry, travel, and family life, Justin's got a lot on his plate, but he's handling it like a champ.

So grab your headphones and get ready for a great conversation with Justin Warren - radiant recording artist, million-song streamer, worship leader, songwriter, and my new best friend. And if you enjoy our chat, be sure to like and share this episode with all your musician and worship-leading friends (and anyone else who loves great podcasts). Let's glorify God in the highest ways possible and show up in the world as our best selves!

Also - don’t miss Justin singing All Things Well live on the podcast.

John Chisum is a veteran Christian songwriter with over 400 of his compositions recorded and in print. With a career spanning four decades, John’s delightful calling is to download time-proven insights on songwriting that can set you up for the greatest songwriting years of your life.

In this solo episode, John helps you to abandon the urban myth that you are “waiting on God” for the inspiration to write great songs. He shares boldly that what most Christian songwriters are waiting on will never come and how to end the needless passivity of expecting downloads and inspirational lightning strikes as a creator.

Key insights shared in this episode are:

• Why it’s dangerous to have a philosophy of waiting for inspiration to strike
• Why we shouldn’t beg for God’s presence to “show up”
• The real New Testament perspective on the presence of God by His Spirit
• What it means to be “in-spirited” as Christian songwriters
• The need to cultivate a deep awareness of the presence of God every day
• The Apostle Paul’s prayer for “true enlightenment”
• How to be an inspiring person and live an inspired life
• Taking inspired action in life and songwriting
• Why gaining significant songwriting skills is as important as inspiration and why not having them is the real reason you’re not writing at a higher level

This episode is a must-listen for any aspiring writer who wants to make every day count. John doesn’t believe in tips, tricks, and hacks, but in a solid process for songwriting built on dedication and true creativity.
