In this special podcast hosted by Martin Purnell, I share what it was like becoming a Christian during the Jesus Movement in the USA 50 years ago. What are the similarities between Church then and now? What is going on with Christianity in Universities today?

I talk about my series of books including the latest title He Still Speaks to Kids and share some thoughts on mentoring and why it is so important. You might think teenagers aren’t interested in Christianity but what can you do about it? Also, how did I get into music and what was it like to meet my all time hero in Abbey Road Recording Studios?

Our great Commission in Matthew 28 is about believers cooperating with the Holy Spirit to show and tell the good news of God’s kingdom. In this class we’ll look at ‘The Philip method’ of using spiritual gifts to find God’s lost treasures.

Prophetic ministry is about bringing encouragement, strengthening and comfort into the life of our community. People inside the church and across our city we’re called to are longing to know that God is real and sees them. In this class we’ll look at incorporating prophetic ministry into worship, prayer, dedicating children, affirming new members and healing.

THE FATHER'S NOD is about God's longing to show us his approval and to help us find our true identity as His sons and daughters. I share from my own personal experiences and my understanding of the 'Father's Nod' revealed in scripture.

In this podcast we talk about our journey over several decades, transitioning from writing songs about God, to writing songs to God. Reflecting on the influences of early Christian artists such as Keith Green, Andre Crouch, Love Song and many others. The mainstream artists such as Cat Stevens, George Harrison and others, whose spiritual songs impacted us. What we have experienced as we have led worship throughout the USA, Canada, UK and Europe. What we are seeing right now and our thoughts about how we may worship in the future....

The past 50 years has seen the exponential growth of the contemporary worship movement and brought the Church new songs and hymns. The songs of our generation were radical and prophetic when first written. But it is easy to settle for these past blessings and the hymnology that we are comfortable with. In this podcast we reflect on our own experiences of songs and worship. Are we still moving forward, embracing what God is doing now, with new songs that reflect this. Is our worship still prophetic, or has it become nostalgic?
