[Artist collab] My Stoning, Elenee Young

In our first artist collaboration, songwriter Elenee Young joins us in the studio to look at her 2020 single, My Stoning. This story song masterfully intertwines the accounts of multiple women in the Bible who found themselves desperately in need of mercy—and had a powerful encounter with a merciful savior.

Found this through the “Worship Artistry” podcast. I’m a huge fan of “Dissect” and “Song Exploder” which Chris referenced, so I’m primed to love this sort of podcast. Chris does a fantastic job digging into the music theory as well as the biblical context of the songs that the church sings regularly. As a songwriter and worship leader, this gives me so much to chew on and work into my song choice and writing. I can’t wait to hear what else comes next!
