This blog is about crossing cultures, Christian ministry, music, Biblical studies, fatherhood, leading worship, books, movies, and stuff like that. It's generally NOT about electronic gadgets, politics, philosophy, sports, etc. Not that I necessarily have a problem with those things.

Shai Linne - The Atonement
So I'm at this conference several weeks ago, and this worship band was awesome. It was gospel music with the message of the gospel front and center. So afterward I ask one of the singers where they find that kind of gospel-centered gospel music, and he says they're not finding it anywhere, that they're kind of making it up as they go. We talk for a minute or two, and then he reaches into his backpack and pulls out a CD and says, "Here man, take a copy of my CD." It turns out the dude was Shai Linne, and the record is unbelievable. I know lots of seminary grads who could be schooled by this. I can't stop listening to it. Best songs: Mission Accomplished and The Gospel.
