    What you didn't know about worship music culture.
    Nov 11 2025
    Increasingly a small number of churches, leaders, platforms (and even algorithms) are shaping much of the content, language, expression, and theology of the modern church. An academic study on worship songs from 2010-2020 found that almost all of the top songs were linked to these churches, either through direct production or collaborations, with 37 out of 38 popular songs having a connection. This might explain why so much of worship music feels so similar. In this episode, we explore what that means for our theology around music and worship, the impact of this influence, and how the Church can broaden the scope of our inspiration for Sunday mornings.

  • Can AI be a multiplier for good?

    Can AI be a multiplier for good?
    Oct 28 2025
    In this episode, we explore AI not as a replacement for human connection, but as a powerful multiplier for reach and impact. We'll discuss how AI can tackle our biggest challenges in education, healthcare, and beyond, while also asking a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI, and can it help us be more human, not less?

  • Can we even call it care if its unequal?

    Can we even call it care if its unequal?
    Aug 15 2025
    In a society driven by GDP, consumption, and productivity, what do we really value — and who gets left behind? This episode explores how our systems measure worth by output and profit rather than the dignity we all have from being made in the image of God. We focus on how women—particularly women of color—are treated in our culture and healthcare system, through the lens of Jesus, we ask: what would it look like to realign our value system around presence, compassion, and real care—especially for women? We talk about this and more in this episode of the Unsilent Church. Enjoy!

  • Is America being Whitewashed?

    Is America being Whitewashed?
    Jul 16 2025
    In this episode of the Unsilent Church podcast, we talk about how some of the problematic history in the United States seems to be resurfacing, particularly around the way much of the education, storytelling and narratives are recentering around ideas which are leaning closer to the idea of white superiority and supremacy. Considering all the outrage that happened when key books were banned (like Maya Angelou's "Why the cage bird sings) or Jackie Robinson's removal from military service, and blaming tragedy on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, and that's not to mention the selective inclusion and exclusion of immigrants and refugees. All this together starts to beg a critical question about what's happening in the United States. We talk about this and more in this episode of the Unsilent Church. Enjoy!
