Episode 9
Worship Music for times of Political Anxiety
This episode is all about how to worship and focus on God through music during times of political polarization. When we are most tempted to be overcome with anxiety over political strife, can worship music help us focus on God instead? Joshua Noel, Taylor Clyde, and Matthew Winter review three songs that were put together through a collaboration of The Porter's Gate Collective and the After Party program. The After Party is a program to help Churches address our times of political anxiety today. The Porter's Gate Collective is a group of people from across Church denomination working together to create practical worship music for our times that can be sung by anyone across ecumenical grounds. The songs we review in this episode, by The Porter's Gate Collective, include: "The Kingdom of Jesus", "The Lord Will Have His Way", and "Bind Us Together".
