I’m recording the first @transpositioned episode in a hot minute today. I’m really excited to get at some of these themes👇🏼

I'm thinking I'm going to do another run of @transpositioned episodes soon. I want to explore these themes... Local music. Music with friends. Music with family. Folk music. Music with people you have real bonds with.

John Calvin on the power of music… “There is scarcely in the world anything which is more able (than music) to turn or bend this way and that the morals of men, as Plato prudently considered it. And in fact, we find by experience that it has a sacred and almost incredible power to move hearts in one way or another. Therefore we ought to be even more diligent in regulating it in such a way that it shall be useful to us and in no way pernicious. For this reason the ancient doctors of the Church complain frequently of this, that the people of their times were addicted to dishonest and shameless songs, which not without cause they referred to and called mortal and Satanic poison for corrupting the world. Moreover, in speaking now of music, I understand two parts: namely the letter, or subject and matter; secondly, the song, or the melody. It is true that every bad word (as St. Paul has said) perverts good manner, but when the melody is with it, it pierces the heart much more strongly, and enters into it; in a like manner as through a funnel, the wine is poured into the vessel; so also the venom and the corruption is distilled to the depths of the heart by the melody.”

[Robert W. Rust @rwalterrust]

The challenge with creating good, Christian music today isn’t getting Christians to take music seriously, but to get churches to take music seriously. This can’t simply be moral posture; it has to come with reliable, robust financial commitments that allow for, as Bach put it, “a well-regulated church music, to the Glory of God.”

I had the privilege of talking to @annielcrawford and @MusicaApologia about mediums, messages, and music on @transpositioned. We completely solved #skilletgate and more. I’m so grateful for their wisdom. 🔗 👇🏼

This is the quote I opened @transpositioned with from CSL. This is why we have a meaning crisis… “The critique of every experience from below, the voluntary ignoring of meaning and concentration on fact, will always have the same plausibility. There will always be evidence, and every month fresh evidence, to show that religion is only psychological, justice only self-protection, politics only economics, love only lust, and thought itself only cerebral biochemistry.” - C.S. Lewis in his sermon Transposition

Episode 4 with @markins is live on the @transpositioned YT channel. https://t.co/L4TWDMc2wF

I had the honor to speak with @Markins who is the CEO of @Awana for @transpositioned. This may sound like hyperbole but outside of the local Church I believe Awana is likely the most important institution for children in the world. Say a prayer for them and listen 👇🏼.

[Brantley Vosler @BrantleyVosler]

I just had a very rich time on @transpositioned learning from @Markins. For some listeners it may seem out of left field to talk about child discipleship after 3 music heavy episodes but in relation to C.S. Lewis’s sermon ‘Transposition’ it makes great sense.

@MusicaApologia @rwalterrust I could not love this more.

@MusicaApologia @bluewaterhwy Ope… not well enough though. Flannery O’connor not Sinead.

[The Transposition Podcast @transpositioned]

How might C.S. Lewis influence a songwriter? Zack from @bluewaterhwy has all the answers AND a brand new record called Waiting on a Wonder. Listen to our conversation 👇🏼

@MusicaApologia @bluewaterhwy You did your research!!!
