Pastor’s Café Q&A Episode 24 | October 10, 2024

In Episode 24 of "Pastor’s Café Q&A," hosts David Hanan, Ph.D., and Pastor Steven Kern tackle one of the most pressing topics in church culture today: the divide between traditional hymns and modern worship music.

Balancing Hymns and Modern Worship: How can churches create a worship environment that honors both the rich tradition of hymns and the fresh expressions of modern worship without alienating different generations?

Shallow or Accessible?: Some argue that modern worship music lacks the theological depth of traditional hymns. Is this critique fair, and how can modern music remain biblically sound while still being accessible to all?

Worship or Entertainment?: With worship sometimes feeling like entertainment, especially in modern settings, could there be a danger of focusing too much on emotional experience? How do we safeguard worship to remain God-centered?

Join us as we dive deep into the heart of the worship music debate and explore how churches can foster unity while respecting the diverse musical preferences of their congregations.
