Harbour Live Sets A High Bar With Exceptional Debut Worship Album Even though Harbour’s debut album, Here We Are has been out for a few years now, it is completely worth recognizing for being a fresh breath of air in the worship community. There are others, don’t get be wrong. But as far as delivering [...]
Stand in Awe – Music Review
One of my favorite things in the world is intelligently-penned worship music. This quality undeniably characterizes the hymns and choruses of old that still having staying power in the church today. This is why they are such an anchor to us. Such songs place a demand on us as worshipers. Timeless anthems forbid mindless worship [...]
Kingdom Come – Music Review
Right off the bat, I encourage you not to compare Bryan and Katie Torwalt’s second album to their outstanding, exceptional, groundbreaking, stunning debut recording, Here on Earth (released in 2011).

Revealing Jesus is, without a doubt, my favorite worship release of the year and one of the top ten best of the past decade. My only complaint is perhaps the project’s greatest compliment—what [...]
Home – Music Review
I’ll be honest, when I heard that Kim Walker-Smith was doing something slightly unconventional and different from the typical Jesus Culture fare, I was concerned. Needless to say, every concern was put to rest (and then some) as I listened through the album after one go around. No exaggeration. Was I concerned because I didn’t [...]
Glorious Ruins – Review
The latest release from Hillsong Live, Glorious Ruins, is definitely worth checking out. It is not Cornerstone, which was a truly fresh offering from the Australia-based worship team, very reminiscent of their “old-time” recordings, with each song being very intentional about keeping Christ front and center. And yet, what I do appreciate about this particular [...]
