PR 28: How Modern Worship Music is Shaping the Church?

Does your church music glorify God—or just stir your emotions? This episode goes straight to the heart of modern worship music and how it's shaping today's church. Are we building true worship... or just chasing feelings?

In this episode, Vince and Steve dig deep into worship music styles, drawing from the Bible, the Confession, and real church experience. With humor and honesty, they challenge the emotional highs and production-driven environments that often pass for "worship." Are we forming durable Christians... or just entertaining people?

Whether you're in a band, on a worship team, or just sitting in the pews, this one’s for you. They unpack how music, worship, and formation are inseparable. Learn how real biblical worship should form Christians in Faith, Truth, and Grace—centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you care about Christian worship, the Bible, sound doctrine, and glorifying God in your local church, don’t miss this discussion. It's about more than music. It's about Christ.
