Cody Carnes joined us to share some stories and encounters that inspired the songs on his latest album, Firm Foundation, the day before is was released into the world. He and Kristian also dove into the idea of worship being a weapon, and how we can lean into its power as we’re met with difficult seasons.

Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe were our second ever guests on the podcast. We were honored to have him back! We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Maverick City Music | The Maverick Way

"Our prayer for this EP is that every time someone hears these songs will be the EXACT moment they need to hear it. We believe these songs will meet you where you are at, in God’s perfect timing, ministering to you like only he can. We hope these songs help you in your darkest moments, bring you joy, unexplainable peace, and closer to God."

The Belonging Co | Pneuma

"So many songs we were writing and singing in church were full of lyrics describing the different aspects of Holy Spirit and lifting a hunger for more of Him in our lives. That’s where the title Pneuma came from, as it’s the Greek word for 'wind, breath, spirit, an invisible force. This album is full of songs of our need for the Spirit Of God but also songs of vertical praise and worship to The Lord. That’s always been the heart of our house, that we would have life changing encounters with God that would then lead us to lift up a praise that He alone deserves, and we pray this album does that for all who hear it." - Andrew Holt

Brooke Ligertwood | Desert Song

This worship anthem provides hope and perspective for anyone who has gone through a challenging circumstance in their life or faced a spiritual desert, as evident in the song’s soaring melody and powerful lyrics that declare the faithfulness of God: “All of my life in every season/You are still God/I have a reason to sing/I have a reason to worship.

Pat Barrett | Scatter

“It’s not always easy, its not always convenient, its not always effortless, but our praises are always powerful,” Barrett shares of the heart behind his new single. “And it should be no surprise to us…that when we praise, the enemy scatters.”

Cory Asbury | Pioneer

Pioneer has the singer “drawing influence from Nashville’s music scene." The project also “explores a new side of Asbury while maintaining honest and cutting lyrics that speak to the fragility of the human experience."

The Lead Worship Well podcast is back! To kick off Season 5, we revisit a roundtable conversation we hosted in February on the past, present and future of Gospel Music.

This roundtable features one of our podcast hosts Chris Baker (Grammy Award-winning producer and our Gospel Brand Manager), EJ Gaines (Sr. VP of Marketing & Co-Executive Director at Motown Gospel), DOE (Grammy Award-nominee and multi-layered singer/songwriter) and Aaron Lindsey (6x Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter). They speak on when and how they first fell in love with gospel music, why it is uniquely integral to their spiritual experiences, and how stewarding relationships with the up and coming generations is Kingdom-building.

Gateway Worship | Crowns Down (Live)

This album features a diversity of worship leaders, songs, and moments in the Lord’s presence, all with a unified purpose: to lead people into God’s presence and inspire them to lay everything down at His feet. Listen now wherever you find music online and join us as we declare that there is only ONE worthy of all praise, honor, and glory!

Brandon Lake | Coat of Many Colors

"Not every color of praise is a pretty one. However, it’s always worth giving. Praise laced in pain is a gift you can only give God on this side of eternity. Whether it’s from the 'pit' or the 'palace,' praise is always the best place to turn and best gift to give."

Travis Greene & Forward City Music | Strike The Ground

Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning Travis Greene has recieved recognition worldwide for his testimony & unique sound. STRIKE THE GROUND is his upcoming full-length project, which he describes as a faith album. Recorded Live at Forward City Church in May 2023, the atmosphere is electric from the beginning to the end of the recording. The title track is now available! 

Zahriya Zachary | Surrounded By Holy

"Standing in the middle of the Redwoods, looking up at the massive trees around, you cannot help recognize the vastness. Surrounded by Holy is our response to being surrounded by the beauty and majesty of God. We lift our voices and declare he is Holy as we enter into His presence."

Gas Street Music | WOVEN: Live from the Coal House

"When we first started Gas Street, one of the first words spoken over us was that we would be 'Woven in worship.' As a community, all we say and do would have worship at the heart of it. These songs are woven together to reflect the full range of Christian experience in worship, from thanksgiving to lament, contending in prayer and longing for the glory of a God to fall. Our heart is that these songs would give voice to the community before us and beyond as we join the wider church woven together in unity by the Spirit to give glory to the Father through the Son."
