[Note: if you are listening in “video” format, you will discover that at around the 1h20 mark the sound will start cutting in and out. If you listen in “audio only” format — click the headphone icon to the left of the video to switch — you will not encounter these problems.]

I have long time mutual and friend, Bits of Paul, on to talk about something very close to his heart: Christian worship.

Paul and I begin our whole discussion of Christian worship and the music we use to worship by discussing the whole genre of “Jesus is my boyfriend” type songs. From there we discuss the divide between low church and high church, which we agree is maybe not the most important distinction. In the end, we both agree that the real problem is the effect of making “accessibility” a primary goal of the worship service as opposed to “meeting God.” We complexify it and try not to give easy answers. I think you will really enjoy this conversation. It was one of my favourites.
